So, if TH had just gone down hard to the floor but not been hurt or get a bloody nose, then you would not think Henderson should be suspended?

If the game situation was different and he did not hit him so hard across the nose, then it's more boderline, but I still have an issue with what I think is an unnatural violent swing of the arm. If he had hit his shoulder and TH was ok, and it was a close game, that's borderline. I think the game situation is a bigger aspect in this then the injury. And I don't see how any unbiased person can refuse to acknowledge the action is worse due to the situation of the game.

Maybe it is worse but it still didn't warrant a suspension equal to what Chris Paul got.

Maybe? Come on now, just admit it was worse, and by a wide margin. But at least that's progess.

And who cares what Paul got? One can play this game all day with all the suspensions that happen in sports, just because some suspensions were too forgiving or harsh, doesn't mean that should change how every other possible suspension is viewed.

Sure it should...The Paul suspension was recent..It was in the same conference under the same league commissioner.

Whatever, i think it was bs because the only reason Henderson got suspended is because he had a bloody nose.

I don't think he should be suspended because of the result and i don't think a suspension would have happened if it wasn't a big rivalry(see Md/Miami today)

As the old saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right. They were too easy on Paul, so that was wrong, that doesn't mean they should let others off the hook.

You keep saying that(the bold part), but it's just absurd. The situation of the game is key as is the violent unnatural way Henderson swung his arm. And of course he had a bloody nose, that's what happens when someone hits you that hard in the nose, so lets not act like it was a fluke that his nose bleed.

Sorry but if you don't think Henderson gets suspended if that happened with 5 minutes left you are fooling yourself.

You're fooling yourself if you don't think that's an important aspect of this. He may have still be suspended, I don't know, but due to the situation of the game, the act becomes indefensible imo. If there was 5 minutes left in a close game, there would be a better case for Henderson. If he hit him in the shoulder instead of the nose, there would be a better case for Henderson, or if he didn't swing his arm so violently.

I just had to add this because it is so typical of Ratface's hypocrisy:

Thursday, January 18, 2007

Wake Forest 40 @ dook 62 (that's 22 points, folks)

Guess who dook had on the court when the buzzer sounded?

You might think Johnson, Pagliuca, Davidson, Tormey, and Sutton?

Wrong.

OK, so maybe Zoubek, Pocius, Thomas, McClure, and Boykin?

Nope.

Try Paulus, McRoberts, Henderson, Nelson, and Scheyer.

So that's a 10-point larger lead than Carolina had, against a lesser opponent, and not even a significant rival, and Ratface had 4 starters and a top reserve in the game.

Ah, so maybe that's an aberration, a single slip, an oversight by the preeminent Rat?

Guess again!

Air Force 56 @ dook 71

dook ends the game with Paulus, Nelson, McRoberts, Scheyer, and McClure on the floor.

Saturday, December 9, 2006

George Mason 53 @ dook 69

dook ends the game with Paulus, McRoberts, Scheyer, Thomas, and Pocius on the floor.

So that's at least 3 games in which faced with a similar, but actually even more obvious situation to pull his starters, Ratface chose to leave his best players on the court.

And yet, that hypocrit had the audacity to criticize Roy Williams for having Hansbrough in the game.

    • Side note on Stowers, did someone give him a lifetime supply of Wheaties this year?  His sprint speed went from 27.0 fps in 2022 to 28.4 this year.  I used to wonder if he'd have the range for left field at OPACY but he's kind of gone crazy with the speed training.  He's not the first guy to take a leap on sprint speed so i kind of wonder if the O's are emphasizing this more.
    • He's about 1.5 years younger than Dean Kremer, and got his college start with the same San Joaquin Delta Mustangs, but Kremer was a couple years before him there. He is the undisputed minor leagues reliever Wins vulture this decade.
    • If the Orioles play the Dodgers in the WS I don't care how much that ticket is, I'm going.
    • We should've won it all in 2014!  We just couldn't get the big hits!
    • The pitching has been really good. I know we are all basically nervous about the bullpen, the effect of losing Bradish, etc, but man the pitching so far has been outstanding. The offense is great but less surprising to me. 
    • I'm glad for Manny that Cease is helping SDP stay in the mix, and rooting for them to get their shot at the Dodgers in the 5-game format. It is just a baseball barstool debate, but would you give Corbin Burnes to get Dylan Cease this week? If it goes bad, Seidler's successors fire Preller and introduce austerity measures for the partners, I still see Dylan Cease as a strong consider to be Burnes' successor on the 2025 Orioles owing to that sweet, sweet 1-year term. One of the better baseball geek observations I've heard about the Padres is they have a poor understanding of what makes a fastball good apart from velocity, and were he acquired I'd have some hope BAL could get a little better overall production out of him than CHW-SDP have.
    • Interesting tid-bit.  I was watching a Jomboy video this evening (Three Things).  He was reading a Redit post by a guy  that identified 5 1-tool players in MLB (they have one tool that is well above average and the other 4 below average).  That's not the interesting point.  In the comments to the Redit post, the same guy lists the 9 5-tool players in the league.   Henderson and Cowser were both identified as 5-tool players.   I found that interesting.   I wonder how Westburg stacks up to Cowser, because I would guess his hit tool is better?
