    If I were a Grizzlies player I'd punch Zach. Way to keep a cool head and help us try to win a series. Jackass.

    Zbo showing just how classy and smart he is... Absolutely deserved the suspension, you'd think a veteran would know better than to throw away a year of work like that.

    #Grizzlies' Zach Randolph suspended for Game 7 vs #Thunder for punching Steven Adams in jaw. Incident happened in 4Q of Game 6.

    The nitwit from the other forum always wondered why we would let this kat go and replace him with LA. This is why

    Yep. Not much mystery about that one. He earned it. Reminds us all of one of the reasons he is not in Portland.

    Is anybody really surprised that Randolph would make a boneheaded decision that ultimately impacts more than just himself?

    Not condoning the action. But the discipline effects not just him it effects the entire team who has many, many days preparing and working for this day.

    I don't agree with it. Suspend him 3-5 games at the start of next season. But let him go for game 7.

    I'm sure Adams pulled some cheap shit to cause Zach to go off kilter but it still doesn't warrant the response. A vet like him should know better

    Are you kidding me? Actions have consequences, and ZE-RO definitely deserves to be suspended for Game 7. His teammates can be angry at him, but the league had not choice.

    It's no as if he is going without discipline and a hit to his checkbook.
