"Carmelos suspension should be in line with similar incidents in the past"
Stern is sending a msg, these incidents are not to be routine,
not to be an unending series,
not to be compared to past incidents and penalties as a baseline to be "fair" across incidents.
Escalating the penalties per inicdent without being limited by precedent is one way to pound the msg home to these dumbfuck, overpaid, prima donna, balla bitches.

Do NBA suspensions work like MLB suspensions where a player can still play if the suspension is under appeal?
Yeah he did. He went after Ray Allen again in the hallway after they had both been ejected.Quote:

GMAFB. Stern isn't trying to be "fair" or prorportional vis-a-vis previous incidents.
Obviously, the Auburn Palace lessons haven't sunk in.
Maybe these ballas shoulda stayed in school longer.
what the fuck does school got to do w/it??Quote:

With arbitration it seems like his suspension could get talked down under 12 games. Stern gets to look like the tough guy willing to give the biggest star in this ordeal the biggest suspension, the players union gets to flex its muscles by possibly shaving a few games off the suspension, and the league gets its leading scorer back on the floor sooner than advertised.
Just a thought.
two questions, I don't that has been asked are...
Would 2003 draft peers James or Wade thrown a cheap shot like Melo did?
Does this set make Melo from these two, after Melo's strong season thus far?
Stern was pissed cause of his "new Ball" bullshit. He's just taking it out on these punks. WGAF
I'd bet $ they wouldn'tQuote:

Plus, I think their current coaches have pre-empted fighting by their coaching styles.
Karl and Isiah are punks, they don't run class organizations.
Ouch, If it stays 15 for Carmelo and 10 for J.R., the Nuggets are goin to suck for a whole month.
Live by the hood rat, die by the hood rat
I'm so glad the Spurs are punk free.
I don't know man, I wouldn't want to see one of our Spurs get his ass clocked and have everyone else stand around twiddling their thumbs, every team at least needs one...Quote:
