It most certainly was a punch. Watch this link: He deserves bigger than a 1 game suspension but OKC will only need one.
Wow; not even a punch. More like a push, watched all clips. Completely shitty by the NBA to suspend him. And stupid by ZBO to even get himself into that situation. Dwight deserves a suspension for a REAL punch into Rolo if they are going to call that bullshit.
Meanwhile Paul George gets to play after stepping onto the court from the bench in their altercation...
Sonic fans always said Stern was best buddies with Bennett. Apparently other League Office higher-ups are, too.
That's how they played in the 50s. A garbage player would provoke a star and they'd both be thrown out. That was a coaching option then.
Funny that NBA.com won't provide any of the footage leading up to what appears to be heated retaliation for something serious. This probably should have been a double suspension.
So you haven't seen the footage, yet you're calling for a double suspension. I suppose that makes sense to you...
There's something more at stake here. Z-Bo may lose his Hoops Family Membership with that girl punch.
I rarely see a push where an uppercut with a closed fist is directed at a person's face. ZE-RO apologists will never stop defending him.
With a little research you can find multiple reports of it being retaliation for something. It's dumb for Z-BO to let a rook get in his head like that, but still.
