*Whether to suspend Kevin Love
How much to fine Ty Lue
What ref crew to use on Sunday
Whether to suspend Tristan Thompson

So much drama.

Edit: Love not suspended.

I thought they already determined that Love isn't suspended..?

TT won't be suspended. The refs caused ALL of that nonsense.

Love has already been cleared to play

Lue will probably be fined

All the refs this year have been inconsistent so I don’t even think that matters

Thompson most likely won’t be suspended. Shouldn’t have even been ejected.

I don't see how you can't suspend TT. He threw a punch

He pushed the basketball in Draymond’s face

Love's not being suspended.

TT won't be either. He shouldn't have been tossed in the first place.

Eh, I wouldn't call it a punch. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets a game, though.

Can they give Draymond another tech for taunting? How in the absolute shite did he not get a tech for taunting?

Can someone remind me what Love did that made people think he may be suspended? I am drawing a blank.

ETA: Nm. Just googled it. I guess he went on the court.

he was already standing on the court while on the bench during all the thompson stuff being sorted out, then took another step in the direction of the thompson/green altercation when it happened.

No he didn't. He got tossed for closing out to begin with which is comical. Should be downgraded then given a tech.

He left the bench area while there was an altercation on the court.

Rules say that's an auto suspension.

But common sense has been used recently when addressing those situations.

Clip of both ejection and altercation. Where is the punch?

After watching that I finally see the little elbow TT threw at Livingston, but that’s not ejection worthy at all

Funny thing is that TT is the furthest thing from a thug. He's from Brampton, Ontario.

about 1:50 in this clip. He swings his arms awkwardly towards Draymond's face. Maybe it's a slap

Nobody can possibly interpret that as a punch

TT pushes the ball against Draymond's face. He also knocks him in the head with his fist when the ball slips out. Draymond bows up and comes at TT. TT then tries to hit him in the face with his hands. That's just what happened
