You missed the point.

Here’s your take,

“Ewok and ManhattanProj have suggested Monta should be suspended for a few games.

He misses almost half the season and you’re suggesting that we should suspend him a few games? In other words, if he misses 30 games, we should suspend him so that he misses 33 games?

Do that sound as stupid to the rest of you as it does to me?”

Wilson, It is not really up to the Warriors, It is the league that would be, or probably is already, expecting the Warriors to punish Monta. Should the Warriors go along with Monta with his lie, the league can punish the team as a whole. Have you forgotten what happened to Minnesotta when they were found to hide facts about their acquisition of Joe Smith? Let me tell you, they were punished very severely for that.
They were banned from participating for draft picks for a great number of years. I think seven years if Im not mistaken.

The Warriors is just a franchise among several other franchises of this big corportation you call the NBA. Therefore, The NBA has the right to be concerned about what is going in every franchise team, from injuries to sale profits.

If it sounds to stupid to you, use some logic in your thinking, Wilson.

If you look at the injury this makes perfect sense. For him to tear this ligament which connects his tibia to his ankle on the toe side without breaking his tibia or anke (which Monta didn’t do), the injury would have to be void of any blunt force trauma. It’s impossible to turn your ankle toes over and towards the outside severe enough to rip the ligament from the bone and not break a bone if you in any way shape or form had downward movement towards the ground. Gravity could not come into play.

This was a freak accident. I doubt water skiing was a banned activity in his contract. If it were I doubt Monta would have done it. Millions of people water ski, and I’m sure they don’t ever consider being hurt to the extent that Monta was. I personally don’t view this as reckless behavior, unless Monta was trying to do some crazy trick he doesn’t have the skill to do. So let’s put to rest the attacks on Monta’s character. This injury could have happened to any one of us. Let’s support him in his healing process and show him why the Warrior fans are the best in the NBA.

I wonder how long they have to determine if he ever gets that quickness back?? Can they void his contract??

This is the very worst ankle injury you can have..That is what I was told when I had it..

He misses almost half the season and you’re suggesting that we should suspend him a few games? In other words, if he misses 30 games, we should suspend him so that he misses 33 games?

He didn’t choke Don Nelson’s neck.

He didn’t go to stripbars to get into fights…

He obviously lied to pacify the situation.

Whether he lied or not, He is certainly worth what he is truly worth. He can do what he is expected to do.

He did not disgrace or dishonored the league.

His punishment therefore, should not be severe. A game suspension or two plus fine should be appropriate.

The Point Guard position is all about making good decisions. Passing the ball, running the ‘O’, calling your own number when appropriate. Monta’s on-court decision making is decent as a 2 guard, he ranked among the top 7 in history for Field Goal Percentage for Guards for a season, for the 07-08 season.

That means that when scoring, he is pretty efficient. He will usually pass up the 3 and step in to make it 18-20 feet, this has helped to make his mid-range game one of the best in the league, next to Rip Hamilton and Andre Miller.

But Point Guard ‘decision-making process’ is what he lacks, he’s not a good passer and not a great ball handler. Hopefully, he decides to improve his ‘decision making process.’
