.......

If KG is not suspended, I'll go f'n crazy.

[TASTIC]

I said it a long time ago, I want Pachulia here. He's got some offensive skills, STRONG rebounder and clearly doesn't back down even against a competitor like KG...

Give him some part of the MLE... $12 over 4 years...

[TASTIC]

And yeah, Zaza needs to miss a game for that mini head butt, Perkins needs to miss a game too - CLEARLY walked on the floor during an altercation...

Powe is the guy I'd stay away from....he looks like he'd kill for that team

[scootfu602]

does anybody have this video on anything other than youtube. That site is fire walled here at work.

[TASTIC]

try nba.com or espn.com?

Either way, HAS to have some action taken

Also I cannot BELIEVE Kidd got nothing for that play on Pargo

[WTFsunsFTW]

Moment of truth for Commissioner David Stern.

I was watching the game on ESPN and they showed that Marvin Williams also stepped into the court during the 'altercation'.

According to the rules, Williams, along with Perkins, should be suspended. No question asked.

I wonder though, do we really need high educated professional for this position in order to make the 'correct' decision? If everything is so black and white, even a high school graduated can make the correct call, you know. I mean, do you even need a brain if you're to suspend players just by rules?

OH THEY STEPPED ON THE COURT. SUSPEND!

[scootfu602]

After what happened last year, they would have to suspend them just to save face anyways.

[BurningHeart]

Garnett needs to be suspended.

I sent it to Mike & Mike In The Morning as well as the NBA League Offices. Hopefully they're working on it.

[SnakeEyez]

Well it did cost you guys the series last year. It was bs. I am a Laker fan and even i knew that suspension was bs. Trust me KG is safe. If it was Artest or Wallace they would be canned. My guess nothing happends. Which sucks because KG punked the ref.

[myron]

KG wont get suspended, but the 2 dudes who walked on the court better be.

I hope Pachulia doesn't hear that commentary 'Who cares about Pachulia, it doesnt matter if hes out' haha

[-SDU-]

dont even start me, you know there are 2 sets of rules, one for the suns and one for everyone else

i guarantee noone will be suspended for leaving the bench

book it

letter of the law only matters when its burying the suns

[nevetsov]

^^ ... or helping the Spurs

[NaplesSunsFan]

They /may/ suspend Perkins or Williams.

I wouldnt be surprised if they suspend JJ for throwing a mini punch at the Alien..

KG can do whatever he wants. There is N O way the NBA lets the Hawks win this series. And KG and perkins out next game would probably allow the Hawks a good chance of pulling out the upset of the century.

KG is safe man, no worries. Stern plays favorites and is happy boston is back being relevent again.

Pachulia is ok, but we don't need him. He should also be suspended for a game, same with perkins and willams. the commish has to act like he did last year, no difference.

last is Horford is a punk. I watched a little bit of game 3 and what a coward he was to talk trash as PP was on the floor and kind of ran away. he has now entered my list of guys that need to get beat up in the league. To bad the commish is a communist and the players are pussies now days. wont happen.

[Magz50]

I'm on your side here fellas, if KG and Perkins aren't suspended the NBA is a joke!

In Horford's defense, Pierce talked junk to him in Game 2 about putting 10k down that they're going to sweep their arses....... Horford taunted back the next game with something to the effect of don't make bets your arse can't cash.........and I'm sorry, KG talks junk incessantly. I would get tired of that act if I were in a series vs. those guys. I kind of admire Horford because he's not backing down like a scared rookie.....and anyone who's ever watched him coming up thru college knows he's not a junk talker.

The KG shove doesn't really look that bad in the video. In that picture it looks pretty indicting but really he was mostly just trying to yank his way out of the ref's grip. I doubt KG or anyone else on the court will be suspended, but Perkins and Williams are up in the air. They should both definitely get 1 game according to the Suns-2007 Law.

He's resisting an officials restraint to enter back into a fight that was trying to be contained. The official had him under control for a couple of seconds then KG decides to two hand shove the official off him to start back up again. He's as guilty as sin.
