These next two games are going to be comedic with 9 players suspended. We’ll only have 8 available for Friday. Can we call up someone from the G league? We’re going to need a center.

A tight 8 man rotation could be exactly what we need! Sorry to hear Moe got KO'ed and suspended two games to boot. That was one costly hip check.

I hope we see more of this retaliation to hard fouls in the future across the league. Silver just said it was okay. Hell just make it like hockey and let them box in the middle of the court. Silver is sincerely the worst commish across the sports world.

Yeah... This feels... off...
I would have given Killian 5, Moe 1 (just to send a message), and the Magic bench all 1 each

Pretty dumb but that’s the case for just about every punishment from a bureaucratic professional league.
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. The team should use it as fuel. It won’t affect our season much other than that.

Silver is the worst? He's easily the best in my book...at least in the US.

I dunno about best or worst but to me... there were a lot of decisions regarding incidents like these that to me were too lenient. It invites players to commit the same infractions because the punishment are too "lightweight"
If this were Stern's era.... player's wouldnbe quaking in their boots fearing they would be playing in Siberia

If you notice in the video Moritz was already acting unconscious before the hit came.
This is because the whole thing, “Benchgate” as it will come to be known, was a conspiracy set up by Devos and John Gabriel where they paid off MoW to disrupt the Magic’s winning streak and send the team back into the tank.
Mongo only pawn in game of life.

2 games for Mo buckets and 1 for the rest of the team seems fair, i thought it was going to be worse since even the coaches were getting into it. Our players are constantly out with injuries so this team is used to playing short handed.

We're missing all of our centers tonight , though the Wizards aren't the worst team to face with no center.
Would have been a good time to bring JI back.
And how did Hayes only get 3 games? I remember a rule where a punch to the face is an automatic 5 game suspension, so a punch to the back of the head should be at least twice.
You could actually kill a person with a strong punch when he doesn't see it coming, not to mention the brain damage Moe likely suffered from the hit, very strange decision.

I could care less about Hayes playing or not, but the message here..
Leave the bench: 1 game suspension (rule is rule, I don’t care)
Strike somebody from behind: 3 game suspension..

Hayes getting only 3 games while Moe gets 2 is an absolute joke, a farce.
Should've been something along the lines of 10 games for Hayes, 1 for Moe, 1 for Diallo. Then I guess the 1 game for leaving the bench thing is a "rules are the rules" thing, even if it's a dumb rule.

Former Piston “Bad boy” Joe Dumars was in charge of the suspensions?
