Why is that baffling? It's wasn't that big of deal. Hayward should have sold it more and laid on the ground for a minute. 1 game is good though because he is probably Denver's best (healthy) player of late. They play a desperate T'Wolves today with ZERO wing depth. Fernandez, Gallinari, and Afflalo are out. THey only have Corey Brewer, and Jordan Hamilton.

did you see the smith foul.
compared to that foul i thought aflolo would get atleast 3 games.

note i jsut think smith shouldnt have gotten suspended and aflolo broderline 1 game.

it's just injustice that because 1 foul was done on the darling of the nba it warrants more games compared to just some unknown punk white guy
 
What does Hayward's race have to do with the issue? I think there is an argument for having it as a two game suspension. There seemed to be real intent on Affalo's part. Does anyone remember how many games Malone got for clocking Robinson?
 
AGAIN, the SECOND game of his suspension is against the CLIPPERS. If the next game after Afflalo's one gamer was against the Jazz I would assume they'd do the same thing. There are worse injustices in the world.
 
....I'm surprised Gordan didn't end up with a half dozen teeth loose, and about $1,000 worth of dental work on the docket! That was bad, very bad. If Gordan would have done that to Afflalo his "posse" would have had a contract out on Heyward!

It is amazing that you know a NBA player so well. Did you and Afflalo go to high school together or something?

this reaction shows that you know nothing about mechanics of a good punch/elbow.
go back to hating on tattoos and such

why i mention his race is the way people treat him. why you think he got mad? because the whole game he is getting punked by a white boy.
some laker fans(frineds of mine) saw gordon hayward play at the rook soph game and sad damm white boy can play. so yeah race does have a lot to do with why aflolo did it.
not saying aflolo is racist as Carolina jazz, just saying getting punked by a white boy all game long and his image led to the elbow.

ask larry bird how it was for him back in the dya

remeber an interview with larry bird, wheer ehe said it offended certain opposing players that larry brid got the job to defend them

I like exactly what Hayward did. Fell back and smiled. Then he graciously pointed the way to the guest locker room in case Afflalo was lost.

Edit: **** Denver. Had to be said.

Well if he is to be the next Ginobili..........

The people comparing this to the Smith/Griffin foul are ridiculous. That is a foul that could have resulted in serious injury, possibly (even though I didn't feel it was that bad). The foul on Hayward was just a player getting to hot and throwing a cheap shot in. Hayward obviously didn't even get hurt that bad (which is why I said if he would have sold it, we may be looking at two games).

1 game is the right call IMO.
