ahhh whats the point. I know some Spurs fans are among the most bitter in the NBA, they think their players are angels and perfect :drunk
Its all nice to sit in front of ur pc and bag players coz u think u know better. Im sure they dont give a lick what you (or i) think anyway
Melo doesnt deserve 15 games and Stern is a tyrant.
stern doesn't hate melo as far as i can tell. judging by his reaction he may hate sucker punches that escalate situations.Quote:

I think it's pretty obvious that Carmelos suspension should be in line with similar incidents in the past, and using that as a baseline it's a little high, I think eight games is more reasonable but Stern would have been smart to make the suspension up to the maximum allowed before arbitration, which I believe is twelve...
I think if there hadn't been the incident at the Palace, the suspensions would be lighter but Stern warned everyone that he would drop the hammer like this if it happened again. Guess some just didn't listen.
Its not that, but it seems just because of what happened two years ago in the Palace. It was one punch, but that punch started it all over again. The fire was being put out and Melo rekindled that fire. I think that's why it was 15.Quote:

I just don't see what this has to do with what happened in Detroit.
This was your run of the mill fight, Carmelo wasn't involved with anything that happened in Detroit, those players in Detroit did receive suspensions that matched the unique level of chaos that ensued.
Bottom line:
The situation in Detroit was unprecedented and so were the punishments, the situation with Carmelo really wasn't unprecedented and his punishment was a little on the high side...
are you seriously complaining about that flagrant after what Carmelo did to Manu two seasons ago?? Get the fuck out of here! Melo got what he deserved.Quote:

It wasn't as bad, it wasn't even similar in any way whatsoever, spectators got assaulted, players entered the stands, and not coincidentally or unintentionally, they physically went up the stairs and attacked fans, it's so not even fucking close that it's not even funny.Quote:

God Moses, you talk all of that shit and when someone brings a response to you you say stupid shit like this was similar?
FUCKING WEAK....
So Stern doesn't want the NBA to be the NHL. Deal with it.
the fighting on the court was very similar, you are right though, the spilling into the stands made Detroit much worse.
Run of the mill fights? How often to brawls involving this many players happen? The message that is trying to be sent is that NO fighting, however minor or major, should happen. Like I said, was it fair? Probably not but its been done and if anything remotely like this happens again whether its one on one or a bench-clearer, the punishments will be harsher.
What was I supposed to say?Quote:

Oh it's very similar. In both instances you had young black millionaires fighting each other, and video of the incident on repeat ad nauseum.Quote:

wouldn't it be a site to see two players tee'ing off on each other center court like hockey?
but that is whole other topic
Well you call people pussies and post repeatedly for someone to respond and when someone does you say something so absurd as that the situations were similar, which couldn't be further from the truth, just a little weak of an argument for someone calling people out.Quote:

So....because you disagree with me, I am weak?
We were having a difference of opinion...happens all the time, what's the big deal?
That guy was a pussy because he wouldn't answer me....you did and I answered back....again, how does that make me weak?
