    I'm not ing about the number of suspensions
    Sure sounds like it, otherwise you wouldn't be bringing up all the comparisons. I think they'll keep increasing the number of games; this is happening far too often for the league to stomach.
    I think he was pressured to go up with Cuban
    I think they should find out who pressured him. If it was anyone in authority, they should be fined/suspended as well.

    Cuban should've gotten Van Horn to go up with him. They'd go undefeated the rest of the playoffs.

    Whatever dude, guess you don't read the posts I'm responding to before responding to my posts. I rarely about suspensions, officiating, all that stupid but I guess it's hard for some Spurs fans to swallow. They won't fine Cuban because he sits in the stands at the games.

    Supposedly Cuban's response to M'Benga's suspension.

    "This is great injustice to DJ all he was trying to do was protect Cassandra Johnson's life. If DJ didn't come there in time Cassandra could have been seriously hurt or even something quite worse then that could have occured. Thats how pathetic this league has become that now for saving someones life you get suspended what a joke!"

    Cassandra Avery's life was in danger?
    Now we have a gauge for just how delusional Cuban is

    That Cuban went into the stands is more disturbing than M'Benga. This guy is a frickin owner who represents the league at the highest level and is actullay supposed to have some intelligence and common sense. What the kind of message is he showing wading into the stands like some teenager on a roid rage. He does know that there are security all over the place. he has a body guard probably standing next to himhe could ask to control any situation. The stupidity of this jerk is astounding. I bet Stern is just thrilkled with this clowns actions. Seeking attention in the stupidest, most irresponsible way. Good job Cuban.

    AJ's wife does look like she could be a tough cookie but then again, the video of that Kettle woman was classy as ...beer in one hand and flipping the bird in the other...knowing women (because I AM one) I'm sure they both are to blame.

    I know what you mean. That lady that gave her "the bird" looks like a real class act. There's some in every crowd.

    I know other people that have had run-ins with AJ's wife. My friend works security at the AT&T center and said that she created a big scene because she was asked for ID. She acted all put-out and "Don't you realize who I am?" etc. etc.

    AJ has enough pressure without have do deal with her "issues".

    Does the Mbenga suspension mean that the Mavs can only dress 11 players? If so, who goes inactive?
    None, i think.

    NBA suspends Mavericks' Mbenga 6 games By JAIME ARON
    AP Sports Writer


    DALLAS (AP) -- Mavericks backup center D.J. Mbenga was suspended without pay for six games Thursday for going into the stands to aid the wife of coach Avery Johnson during Game 4 of the Western Conference finals in Phoenix.

    The punishment is one game longer than New York Knicks forward Antonio Davis received in January for going from the court into the stands to defend his wife.

    "It's very difficult to swallow," said Dallas president of basketball operation Donnie Nelson. "My understanding is he went up there with the intention of telling AJ's wife to go back into the locker room."

    Mavs owner Mark Cuban - who also went into the stands, but wasn't punished for it - said he pressed the league to consider the Davis precedent.


    "They weren't buying it," he said.

    NBA vice president Stu Jackson said Mbenga actually got a reduction from the 10-game suspension the league considers a baseline for this offense.

    "We ended up at six because D.J. certainly went up there very calmly and there was not an altercation of any kind," Jackson said.

    Jackson said Davis got a break because he believeds his spouse was in trouble.


    "D.J. went into the stands for someone that was albeit someone he knew, it was not an immediate family member," Jackson said.

    The NBA has talked about being strict with players who go into the stands, especially after the brawl during a Pistons-Pacers game in Detroit in 2004.

    Mbenga was on the bench in street clothes, having been made inactive for Tuesday night's game, when he joined Cuban and other team officials when they saw that Cassandra Johnson was involved in a first-quarter confrontation with fans.

    The league said in a statement that Cuban was off the hook because "his actions did not violate NBA rules and were not otherwise inappropriate."

    Earlier this postseason, he was fined $100,000 for going on the court to argue with officials. Five years ago, he was suspended for two games and fined $10,000 for running on the court to break up a fight that started because the Mavs were trying to score enough points for fans to earn free chalupas from a fast food restaurant.

    "This wasn't a chalupa moment," Cuban said. "It was something totally different. ... I have a responsibility to everyone who puts on a uniform and their families. Period, end of story."

    Mbenga is the second Dallas player suspended during these playoffs. Guard Jason Terry was forced to miss Game 6 of the second round against San Antonio for punching Michael Finley.

    "D.J. thought that he could assist the coach's family," Johnson said. "I hope somebody would have grabbed him before he went and took the two or three steps or whatever he did. So it's very disappointing. But we're all one big family. We're in it together."

    Mbenga's punishment began with Game 5 on Thursday night. With the series tied 2-2, he'll use up at least one more game of the suspension this round. If any games are left after the playoffs, it'll pick up again at the start of next season.

    His absence against the Suns likely won't hurt the Mavericks much since he'd been inactive all series. Plus, the length of the suspension enables the team to put him on the suspended list, which means someone else doesn't have to be made inactive.

    Where this hurts Dallas is if the club advances to play either Miami or Detroit in the NBA Finals because both teams have multiple big frontcourt players the 7-foot, 245-pound Mbenga could be used against.

    "We all know DJ is not a starting-five kind of guy," Nelson said. "But is there a place for him? Absolutely. We just have to deal with it."

    According to all involved, Cassandra Johnson was upset that a man and woman kept standing and cheering, blocking the view of her children. Johnson was accused of hitting the woman twice during a verbal confrontation; Johnson told police she did not make any physical contact.

    Phoenix police said the matter would be turned over to the city prosecutor to determine if any misdemeanor charge should be filed.

    No doubt she shouldn't be in the stands or expect people to sit...I just love how the SA fans keep piling onto this argument about the classless Dallas fans...

    I recall many a proud MavFan during the SA/DAL series going on and on about the AAC and how MavFan are always on thier feet and they keep it loud and blah blah blah.

    but other teams fans in thier arenas had better keep thier asses in thier seats.
    uh huh.

    or is that just the fans who are sitting near Cassandra Johnson? Those fans are obligated to sit at all times. perhaps they shouls also root for the team cassandra wants them too. and go to the bathroom when she says.


    just cause folks are hollaring for THIER team on THIER homecourt is no reason to get into an abusive confrontation.
    stop trying to excuse it and just accept it.

    There's nothing in SA but ghetto people who can't speak English and white trash with grade-A inbred hick DNA.
    I know one thing. This Mexican loves doing white girls from Dallas. And those white girls from Dallas just love Mexicans from San Antonio. It seems like everytime I meet a white girl on the Riverwalk she just happens to be from Dallas. Those white girls from Dallas are tired of those little white s up there. They just love them some chorizo. Maybe you should concentrate on satisfying your women up there in Dallas and stop playing on the internet. Then maybe your women will stop coming over to San Antonio to look for some satisfaction. That makes me wonder mavs fans. Maybe I already had your mama or sister etc.
