<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MR_SAC_KING:</div><div class="quote_post">Sounds like Both men were punished very fairly to me</div> i agree with the suspension for AP & the fine for KG. but...i feel that the fine for KG was a bit light.

im not complaining. just sayin that for what happened one person getting suspened for two games & one person getting fined 7,500 is glaringly inconsistant. but hey... it is the NBA & these types of things are never consistant in the first place. lets face reality, garnett is the MVP... even if he had thrown a retaliatory swing at AP... he still wouldnt have been suspened from the game. that kind of stuff just doesnt happen to the MVP right wrong or indifferent. if AP were the MVP this year and the identical thing happend he would not have been suspened for two games either... just the way things are in the NBA...

Also, if Peeler were to say the things KG said about stocking up ammunition for a war against the Kings, then he'd probably be suspended another game. Garnett's not the brightest crayon in the box anyway. He couldn't get test scores high enough to get into his original choice for college (Michigan), so he had to give up and just turn to the pro's.
