Hayes got an apology from the team directly

@jawnswoop @jack walsh13

Fuckin clown organization yo.

Did Hayes admit he shouldn't have brought up his brother and kid and apologize for that?

Both of them were wrong.

@jawnswoop

I agree with him, because he's saying something similar to what I said. But on the other hand, I did say every player has a right to defend their love one whether it's verbally or physically but only if that person is being physical with you first.

Hayes getting a pass because he didn't put his hands on embiid, even though he said something sensitive that ticked embiid off.

But the NBA are gonna protect the reporters and refs no matter what's whether they're right or wrong. Adam silver doesn't seem to care about giving Hayes a fined, suspension or getting him fired.

Kerr and the Warriors have been impressive

Klay who?

Klay had the nerve to call Luka his new Splash Brother.

You agree with him that the suspension was a slap on the wrist? And connected to the in game tournament?

Read up, about my response, I said earlier that suspension was a warning, because if embiid was to do something again, Adam silver will discipline him harshly the next time.

Then you said you wanted embiid to appeal that suspension because you felt it was too much. Even though embiid broke the rules putting his hands on a reporter.

I agreed with you.

But this SPECIFIC set of circumstances?

I think is complicated

Joel is WRONG

But I do not like Hayes getting an apology (probably a legal move) and him not getting PUNISHED.

It's really messed up in my opinion and the NBAPA not addressing seriously loudly publicly?

Is a mistake

But YOU are not wrong and predicted everything exactly.
