League Will Review Incident

I hate to say this, but if another teams player grabbed one of the C’s by the throat/face I would be calling for at least a game or two’s suspension. Completely stupid thing to do PP.

Unfortuneately, fighting is a necessary evil in NBA basketball. No one can let a player from another team ‘disrespect’ or attempt to harm a teammate or themselves. The Player know the consequences and are grown men who make choices. If a punishment is given take it like a man. Everyone know the retaliator is the one who gets caught in most cases. Pick your battles and make sure you get your moneys’ worth.

That said, what does anyone really expect from the NY Thuggerbockers? What a bunch of clowns. 8)

Thanks for the C’s/Pistons link, Cool Breeze – but I do believe that is Dick Stockton with Tommy.

  I can understand how the league might review footage after a brawl to see exactly who left the bench. It’s understandable that the referees can’t account for everyone in that situation. But this was right in front of them. And if it wasn’t egregious enough to warrant an ejection last night, then that should be the end of it. IMHO

Disagree with you.

There are certain things that should be allowed to be done retrospectively. Physical confrontations are one of them.

If the league makes any noise on this subject it will be a disgrace. Crawford should have recieved a flagorant foul and peirce should have got a T, end of story. crawford hooked allen’s waist when he was in the air, no where near the ball which would warrent the flagorant. peirce pushed crawford agaisnt the pads which warrents a tech. I hope the league doesnt screw this one up but it would put a nice little chip on peirces shoulder which is always nice.
