Should Matt Barnes be suspended for that foul on Ronny Turiaf?

Question

I watched that replay like 5 times, even the commentators said it. I think he should be suspended going after Turiaf's head like that. He just straight up went and pushed Turiaf in mid air, didn't apologize, and Ronny was lying on the floor all shaken up. Even though the big man wasn't as hurt, he's the nicest guy in the NBA and was flagrantly fouled really bad. When you don't play the ball and go after someone's head, you should be ejected.

Answer 1

he should totally been ejected, they all said it, it should have been an ejection, I don't know about suspension, but that was a bad call by the refs, he really should have been ejected from the game. that was a very dangerous foul and Turiaf went down in an awkward way, he's lucky he isn't badly hurt.

Answer 2

He shouldn't be suspended in my opinion but he should have been ejected. I have seen matt barnes do that same kind of foul on other people about 2 times before that and he was ejected both times. I don't know wtf is wrong with matt barnes sometimes, he's a competitive guy but he shouldn't do that to other people especially ronny turiaf, turiaf is a very cool dude and pretty funny too, he didnt deserve to get fouled like that.

Answer 3

Not only ejected but fined and suspended several games. That could have been a career ending situation and was intended to harm the player. No ball was in sight of where Barnes was.

Answer 4

A flagrant 2 which leads to an ejection but thats it.

Answer 5

Horford got a one-game suspension for his flagrant on T.J. Ford last week, and this one was much worse.

I think a two or three-game suspension would be justified.

Answer 6

No, it was a hard foul ill admit that, but they play professional ball, hard fouls happen

Answer 7

yup

Answer 8

yeah i saw that game on tnt
