Game 28: Washington Wizards (8-19) @ Philadelphia Sixers (20-10) - 7:00 PM ET

IT got a two-game suspension. He deserved it and the a-holes who said it won't be allowed back at home games this year. Unless it's racial or they are throwing something at you, tell security (Wiz security) first.

I know the NBA had to suspend him because of the danger of idiot fans, but I don't blame IT in the least for what he did. In fact, I think he handled himself very well.

So Philly fans pay good money to come get free ****. Pretty lame, i'm thinking its more of a racial/family related slur and IT just being PC in statement.

As far the Wiz no real point in watching more games at this point with Bertans out. When will Beal Load manage.

Ish went from a perfect game to complete trash in consecutive games. So Wizards

Fans were wrong for using the kind of language that IT said was used...and IT was wrong for overreacting and going into the stands. IT should have just reported the offenders to security.

Don't stop watching games. The team needs our support more than ever. Go Zards!

What I liked about what IT did is that he didn't go into the stands angry: he walked over & talked to these kids, turning himself into a real person in their eyes -- rather than a "show" or an "abstraction."

We can use a lot more of that in this world.

Yes, IMO that's exactly right on all counts.

If the NBA doesn't be careful, the fans are going to turn into raging morons like European soccer fans.

I loved the approach IT took in his interaction with the rude fans. But he should not have gone into the stands. Gotta leave that to security.
