Not surprising, but shouldn't Martin have recieved a more substantial suspension than Maggette? They got tangled and Maggette did shove him, but Martin threw that first jab and Corey's throat. Corey's reaction was simply reflexive. Fines and suspensions were definitely warranted, but I think K-Mart got off easy in this case.

This will hurt the Clippers and the Nets though.
