Najera will not be suspended

[Blake]

In comparsion to other players that have been suspended in the past, he deserved to be suspended here, imo.

Regarding the comparison of Najera's foul to Horry's foul in 2007...

Horry's hipcheck of Nash in Game 4 of the WCSF, which ultimately resulted in the suspensions of Stoudemire and Diaw from Game 5, was the defining moment of the 2007 playoffs, and completely changed the momentum of that series against the Suns. That one play will live forever in the hearts of Spurs fans everywhere.

Najera's flagrant on Ginobili means nothing in the long run. Spurs in 6 (or maybe 5). Mavs are going fishing early.

Did this get posted? Apparently Najera says he didn't like Dirk getting hit in the face and wanted to protext his girlfriend.

Exactly. Raja Bell got suspended for clothes-lining Kobe, but somehow the league turns a blind eye on Najera for a move that was similarly dangerous, if not worse.

Najera claims he was sending a message, but what sort of message is the league sending by doing nothing?

Najera out tonight head hunting again. Great job by the NBA office in protecting their players.....
