It took less than 24 hours for Murray to be fined for something no where near as bad. It’s been a week now with Bev. Wtf is silver doing ? What is there to investigate?

If words are violence why can't you respond to words with actual violence?

Totally weak. Should have been 10 minimum.

Then again, weak suspensions are the hallmark of the Spineless Adam Silver era.

The NBA is REALLY pissing me off with the way theyve handled both the Murray and now the Beverly punishments. Silver is not taking this seriously enough. I'm a mega fan of this league, have been for literally over 30 years, but this is starting to turn me off...

Because words are not violence.

Yeah I wish it was a joke too. Better than 0 games, but this punishment is weak...

I can’t help but wonder what kind of suspension Ron Artest would have gotten if Silver was around during the… You know what.

Silver has lost control of his players. So much clownish behavior because he’s too scared to come down on these guys.

4 games for violently throwing a ball at a fan is ridiculous.

Throwing balls, off the court - bad.

Throwing towels and heat packs, at refs, on the court - fine.

Four games for throwing a ball at fans twice and zero games for chucking a towel and a heating pack onto the court. No fine for making a money hand-motion at refs.

Pretty poor enforcement of policies by the NBA, over the past few days.

It’s part of Silver’s “Get Tough - but only on Scrubs!” campaign.

Not defending Beverley, but Embiid grabbing to take the legs out of an opponent was worse.

I miss good old days then SIlver was weak by punishing players for looking at each other
