This is absolutely ridiculous, and the Pistons should fight it. Stew getting 2 games is ridiculous, when DDV should be the one getting two games.

I think Stewart got off light, honestly.

But DiVincenzo got off REALLY light.

Joe D trying to not show bias or something. The person in that job really shouldn’t have any kind of previous team affiliation.

This is my issue. Stew was gonna get a suspension. DDV getting one game, when he was the entire reason it went into the stands is absurd.

Wow, I’m really disappointed in Joe D. :nonono:

DiVincenzo was the reason everything escalated.

Well, if Atlatna loses today, we'll be guaranteed a direct playoff spot.

If this happens I would go to OKC for a nationally televised game without any player with a minor injury.

Stewart Suspended (and vs Toronto too)
-Marcus Sasser Suspended
-Ron Holland Suspended
-Tobias Harris Right Achilles tendinopathy (STATUS OUTDATED)
-Cade Cunningham calf contusion. (STATUS OUTDATED)

Schroder-Beasley-THJ-Ausar-Duren
Jenkins-Waters-Fontecchio-Reed.
with Bobi Klitman, Ron Harper Jr. & Tolú Smith.

Entirely expected, repeat offenders generally get the longer punishments. Stew is well on his way to being the next Draymond Green and not the good version of him. Love the intensity but he needs to learn how to channel his emotions better, he's too easy to set off and it winds up hurting the team because he's a valuable player.

With that said, 1 game for DiVincenzo is an absolute joke. He was clowning way before the "fight" then escalated when he mugged Holland.

OKC’s still going for 70, needs to win out. Gonna be a rough one, minus at least Stew, Holland, Sasser… and maybe more.

I’d keep Cade and Tobias out.

It’s challenging enough to beat OKC at full strength.

The suspensions feel disrespectful.

It would be my way to protest during the national game.

Unless you're including play-in as part of the playoffs, no it isn't. I'm not sure if you're being hyperbolic in an overly declarative way or spreading misinformation, but either way, I don't like it.

It's highly likely at this stage that we secure a playoff spot, but it's not locked yet.

Nope, just editing the title and asking you politely but firmly to stick to the truth.
