I'm just going to leave this here...
Do you want one of the best players in the world suspended in game 7 of the finals because he got frustrated at having a third painfully weak foul called on him?
not to mention he didnt even throw it at the ref as Haslem did...

Side note, how flowering great is it that we get a game 7 in the NBA Finals this year, so bloody epic 8)

Also if this goes to game 7 (as I'm predicting), am I the only one who thinks it should be on a neutral court? How good would game seven be at MSG! Instead, the Warriors get a huge advantage if it goes that far. I understand it with seeding throughout the conferences but the ultimate game of the season should be at the Mecca of basketball. Just an idea stemming from AFL but one that has a lot of merit IMO.
bringing this back up, would love a neutral game 7!

Preach, Riot. I can't wait for this game 7 8) I actually feel like this one is slightly more intriguing than the Spurs Heat one a couple of years back. Given, the standard of basketball has not nearly been as good this series compared to that one. Felt then that the Spurs had thrown literally everything they had at Miami in game 6, and having to play even better than that again on the road to close it out just wasn't likely. In this series, you've got the defending champs, 73-9, unanimous MVP, just came back from 1-3 down in the conf finals, went up 3-1 in the finals and now find themselves in a game 7. Cleveland will have the best player in this game, and have outplayed the Warriors in 3 of the last 4 games. I haven't been able to get a feel for this series, given all the blowouts, but going to enjoy this game that's for sure. I've got nothing attached to either side, just hoping for a ripper game. Not sure how it will play out, but the Warriors being favoured by 5 at the moment seems fair. As the Cavs really haven't gotten close to them in Golden State w/ Draymond. Whatever happens though, LeBron should absolutely 100% be the Finals MVP.

Via Howard Beck's Twitter:

FYI: NBA has a clear precedent on throwing mouthpieces: It's a fine, not a suspension. League officials affirm this.

So pumped to be able to watch this game 7 live!

And yep, I don't want him to be suspended (25K fine it seems), want both teams as close to full strength as possible.

Let the best team win, theres still a chance for a LeChoke, but lets hope not for the sake of basketball!  ;D
