lmao and he's going to win a suspension, maybe 5+ games. Artest got 7, I think, for the exact same play.Originally Posted by gpeterson133
I thought the deliberate throwing of an elbow by Robinson was after the play and aimed to hurt Jerekbo. It was a cheap shot, and I would not play Robinson for a couple of games if I were the coach. I would have him call the opposing player and apologize for his actions. There was plenty of wrestling going on, but players need to control themselves. The Kings have enough trouble with Cousins, they don't need further distractions. There is fine line between not being intimidated, and acting like thugs. I say Robinson crossed it. What do you say?
This is an important topic because it helps define the way the Kings view themselves. Humans the size of NBA big men can do some serious damage. Refs need to control the level of intensity of play.
It wasn't clever, wasn't necessary. He'll take a fine and probably a ban
but lets not overreact it's the first time he's done anything remotely agressive.
If you watch the whole play Jonas was grabbing his shirt, his arms and his shoulder and Robinson clearly lashed out in the wrong way.
Imagine if Kobe was sat for 2 games everytime he threw an elbow... he'd be playing 14 game seasons.
Whatever. He overreacted because he was being grabbed after the play. Happened to get him in the throat. It was a spur of the moment thing and it happens. he's gonna pay for it and hes gonna learn. End of story. Nothing to see here
TRob took to Twitter last night and apologized. Players make mistakes. The good ones own up to them and take whatever punishment is doled out without complaint. I know Robinson will do likewise.

Looked pretty bad when seeing it on live on TV. Watching the replays on youtube, the side angle one which gives the best view it really doesn't seem that vicious. Jerebko definitely helped sell it and even gives the floor a nice smack. TRob will learn to keep his elbow down when hitting someone off him and this will just be the standard tech players get when they are tangled up and don't appreciate it. TRob will get the fine that comes along with it, shouldn't be a suspension. Wouldn't mind if Jerebko was warned for flopping too, as to me it looks like he tried to sell it which is against the new rules.
Are you his mom? Have him call the other team and apologize? GTFO with that weak stuff. This game is for grown men, not kids in day care.
I only had a few minutes to fast forward through the game and stopped when I saw this. I rewound a bit to see if I missed any earlier tussles. It looked to me like Robinson actually elbowed him three different times over the course of the previous two plays. I didn't see much from Jerebko but I might not have rewound enough. If I saw it accurately and the league notices Robinson might get a bigger suspension. Artest got 7 games because of his history, which shouldn't be an issue here, but three elbows in the span of a minute might be.
During the play the play he got ejected he was being pulled back by Jerebko. Pretty standard to use an elbow to get the guy off you... Not so standard to throw it so high. That was his only mistake in my opinion. Artests elbow was entirely different. Anyone who wants to compare them should watch both again.
Although it sounds a little ridiculous the way you put it, I agree.
Opinions. Opinions are like...
Isn't an ejection an auto 1 game suspension now? I can't remember.
It shows weakness on TRob's part to do what he did. Shows that he's not able to do what he wants on an NBA basketball court and that he doesn't have very good composure. I'm going to predict a 3 game suspension for his actions.

Closed fist is the automatic 1 game, unless they changed something in the new CBA.
This though still looks like the sort of thing they give out 1gm suspensions for, automatic or not.

Well, there you go. I was thinking one game, but it was a cheap shot, so still deserving.
Hoping to see T-Rob on Sunday at the Laker game, but unfortunately not gonna work out.
yeah I thought 1 as well, but can't really object to 2.

He's fortunate.
Not reallly. I don't remember the last one of these that got 2, let alone more, for a first offender.
