your logic makes no sense...Shaq's haymaker didn't connect w. Brad Miller, so he wasn't deserving of a suspension, right? It'sALL about the intent...well, it should be "all" about the intent, but I guess it depends on the year and what team you play forOriginally Posted by Burns1923
Wait, I'm not seeing the debate here.
Rondo threw an elbow that DIDN'T connect.
Fine? I could see that.
Suspension? Not enough took place to warrant a suspension.
If a punch or elbow connects - suspension.
But that's it. Anything else is an overreaction, which wouldn't be surprising in today's S(oft)NBA
So true. And the funny thing is, if this was Ron Artest doing the same thing, you know he'd be fined/suspended, etc...Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk
I understand not suspending him for the foul in Game 4 or 5, whichever it was...
But this? Nah, he took Hinrich and threw him into the scorer's table... Then threw a punch, elbow, whatever...
He should absolutely be suspended for this...

I totally agree. Say someone aims a gun at another guy's head and pulls the trigger. The bullet just barely missed the victim. Whyshouldn't the shooter be charged with attempted murder? Because the victim didn't actually get hit? Because he didn't die?Originally Posted by DoubleJs07

on top of it all...go back and look at the thread on previous ejections/suspensions following a flagrant foul....MANY of them (ejections) involved dudes NOT making a play on the ball...much like Rondo when he swung KH in to the scorers table...there isn't any sort of consistency in the way the refs are officiating games, and also with the way Stern/Jackson are giving out suspensions...
when Horry was a Sun.
Huh?!?!!?

I have heard some AWFUL analogies in this thread, but this, THIS right here is easily the worst analogy ive ever heard.
Seriously? Thats the BEST analogy you could come up with?

Was this on like ESPN?
Nah, I was saying... like... when he shoved Nash into the scorer's table, Horry was suspended without an elbow or punch connecting... so hewould agree that he shouldn't have been suspended because a punch or elbow never connected.
