    We will most likely lose game 5 barring a miracle and then this comes out.

    WALTHAM, Mass. -- The Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks escaped discipline for a Game 4 skirmish in which Kevin Garnett pushed off a referee while players on both benches stepped onto the court.

    NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Tuesday there would be no fines or suspensions. Four technical fouls resulted in a game Atlanta won 97-92 to tie the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

    The confrontation started when Garnett cleared out Zaza Pachulia with an elbow, and the Hawks forward went forehead-to-forehead with the Celtics star. A referee grabbed Garnett, but he, too, got a push as Garnett struggled to break free.

    Celtics center Kendrick Perkins and Atlanta forward Marvin Williams acknowledged they stepped onto the court as they strained to see what was going on. Such actions are barred in the NBA, especially with commissioner David Stern looking on.

    Maybe they were "looking to", but KG actually shoved a ref. That's worse. should've been suspended.

    Who's the chick in your sig?

    I think the OP has a point. The intentions of the players isn't really at issue so much as the fact that they violated a rule against stepping on the court during an altercation. If they enforced the rule against Phoenix during the playoffs last year they should enforce it again now.

    And yes, KG's actions definitely warrant a suspension.

    A couple of seasons ago, a ref moved into the middle of a play (shouldn't have been there) and got in Duncan's way. Duncan moved him out of the way to pursue the play. I thought he did it gently and politely, especially considering the cir stances. There was no animosity, nor was there any previous problem in the game. In other words, Duncan didn't just use the play as an excuse to shove a ref.

    None of that mattered. Duncan still got suspended for a game. The league stated simply that no contact with a game official will be tolerated.

    Apparently that philosophy only applies to Duncan.

    This is crap.

    Garnett should at least have been suspended. Duncan was suspended when he touched a ref in a far less threatening fashion.

    The Spurs should have won game 4 last year anyway. That actually counts as a win for us.

    Yeah, that's some ..KG should be suspended and no one knows anyone's "intentions" - they should all be disciplined. Who's inbox do we write our concerns regarding their interpretations of their own rules?
