How else can you explain why KG was not suspended for shoving the ref on Monday even in Stern's presence??? Also two Celtics left the bench during the altercation and they were not suspended either.

Had Rasheed Wallace or Bruce Bowen shoved the ref like KG did, they would have been suspended, no questions asked.

Atlanta is fucked, they have no shot to win tonight.

Actually I think the NBA is trying to avoid the controversy about what happened last year when 2 Suns were suspended during the playoffs. Jason Kidd was also not suspended, despite being slapped with a flagrant 2 foul, that usually warrants a suspension.

Kidd did not shove a ref.

If I remember correctly, one player was suspended for just touching a ref a couple of years ago.

It looks bad, the rules are clear about ref contact. There's been conversations in the NBA Forum for a couple of days.

The DPOY was just defending himself!

Timmy got suspended for accidentally knocking a ref over remember?

Sorry, I did not notice the thread in the other forum.

KG was way out of line, he has a terrible temper he should have got rung for a game for that.

Go Hawks. Nothing would make me happier for them to come out and stare down this over-hyped Celtics team.

FAVORITISM

is the Official word of the NBA

I thought they wouldn't lose a game until Round #2. Now I'm thinking they won't even get out of Round #2. Pathetic.

I am surprised the Suns fans are not going nuts right now. Now Stern acts in the spirit of the rule, not the "letter of the law". He was in attendance as well, wtf? This is just gonna give Suns fans another excuse to say last season was rigged (or whatever they say). Stern needs to just suspend the playoffs and have the Final between Boston and LA right now, Save the other teams the heartbreak of being screwed by David Stern and the NBS front office.
