Im happy with the end result i thought ingram might get 5 games.. CP3 should gotten 3 games like rondo did. Pays to be President of the league.

Seems a bit light honestly. As someone said, getting more games for smoking weed is ludicrous.

Also makes me wonder if less popular and less profitable teams would get the same treatment. You think Andrew Wiggins only gets 4 games for barrelling into a fight and swinging wildly? Or Trae Young gets 2 games for poking someone in the face then swinging and connecting on multiple punches? I don't. But I'm a cynic.

He definitely loses a lot not money per game than the other two, what is he losing, like a million dollars for the two games?

Will be 5-10+ suspensions you’d think..

When it went down yesterday my first guess was 5, 2, and 2; with Ingram getting 5. I am impressed with the NBA going 4, 3, and 2. Very reasonable for those involved in a high profile game.

Just right.

Remember Afflalo punching Bjelica? Magic vs Wolves. Got two games. Lopez vs Ibaka was one game. The don't really give long suspensions.

Nice to make more in two days than the average person makes in 10 to 25 years ... or more.

Love Rondo, he's underrated on this board. Has classic grit and I loved him on the bulls. Hope he works out in LA, they're fun to watch. Its nice to see guards who don't **** the bed with lebron on the bench right?

What? It's exactly the opposite. The Lakers are the ones who are disadvantaged by the NBA.

Why? Ask David Stern and he'll tell you it's for "basketball reasons".

Watch the **** video. Rondo spat on CP3 face. It's right in front your eyes.

You wore a mouth guard playing soccer?

Yes. Didn't feel like getting my teeth elbowed in?

Not much of a communicator or runner, right? I never seen anyone with mouth guard during all my years playing soccer. Must be an american thing like hanging out att malls, never missing an episode of cops and eating cheap burgers. :lol:

I don't know what to tell ya bud. I played soccer all my life, both in the states and abroad, organized and in the streets, and I always put in a mouthguard. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't really mean much to me.

I think they got it about right. Ingram threw the worst punch and Rondo did look like he spit. CP3 obviously was in the wrong too but I guess was instigated so getting less made some sense.

30% of all soccer injuries are orofacial. Congrats on being smart enough to put a mouthguard in.

Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka threw punches at each other last season and each only got one game, so I actually think they were harder on these guys.

Almost. Just over 900K.

Carmelo threw a sucker punch like Ingram and got suspended 15 games.........BS that Lakers are getting away with such a light penalty.

I would post the same beating a dead horse gif I used to whenever anyone brought up this crap but even that would be beating a dead horse at this point.

You didn't get to rape the Hornets/Pelicans in a trade 5 years ago. My heart feels for you. But you need to get over it already.

Fair point. Still feels too lenient though.

Did Rondo Spit On Paul?
