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.ahhh whats the point.

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.
It should have been more because he slapped the guy and ran like a girl.
Nuggets fan conviently forgot that part.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.
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 out of here! Melo got what he deserved.
It has to do with the fact that Stern let everyone know that incidents like this (this one was not as bad but it was similar) were not to be tolerated. You knew that the next time he was going to go overboard to try and send a message. Fair? Maybe not but it was to be expected.
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 ing close that it's not even funny.
Run of the mill fight that happens from time to time, I can think of tons of fights worse than this one...
God Moses, you talk all of that and when someone brings a response to you you say stupid like this was similar?
ING 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?God Moses, you talk all of that and when someone brings a response to you you say stupid like this was similar?
ING WEAK....
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.
We can't have that in the NBA.
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.
;-)
not similar, in your opinion, that doesn't make it fact.
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?
amen.
another NBA fight. good grief.
"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 dumb , overpaid, prima donna, balla es.
fine with me...MosesGuthrie is a pussy and if I saw him at a game I go into the stands after him.
Just let me put my beer down first....that is expensive.
i almost forgot about it.
hopefully the denver nuggets learn the lesson this time.
(when we play against them they foul too hard sometimes)
When its 7 bucks for a beer...damn right im cheap!
Do NBA suspensions work like MLB suspensions where a player can still play if the suspension is under appeal?
