    Players getting suspended now for pushing and shoving? King Stern at it again...

    I bet he asks David Stern to donate his fine to the Lance Stephenson charity

    1 game suspension each for Hibbert and Lee. I think it's retarded guys are suspending over freaking pushing, but at least they didn't do anything really stupid length wise.

    Also $35k fines for each of Curry, Thompson, and Stephenson.
    Nothing for Jack for pushing Hibbert into the stands?

    Or West. Jack also pretty blatantly just shoved a camera guy on his ass. I don't get the Stephenson fine, yeah he was in there but didn't do anything more than the other guys that didn't get fined.

    Awesome. Indiana will be missing Hibbert for the Clippers. Sucks. Would have been a great win too.

    If the Pacers can some how pull off a win against the Clippers they will go a long way into putting some fear into the league as far as their depth goes. I don't know how they'll pull it off, but I think West is going to have to dominate and Granger will have to do more than just look agressive. He will have to be truly successful in his FG attempts instead of just being brave in taking them.

    Like at least one poster said, it WAS a different time with regard to fighting in the NBA in 1977. Fights broke out nearly every night; teams had "enforcers" (on-court bodyguards for their star players) and "hatchet men" (whose job it was to take the other team's best player out of the game, either by deliberately injuring him or by provoking him into a fight which MIGHT get one or both players ejected...notice I said "MIGHT" because fighting did not always result in ejections back then) among other types of tough guys. Some star players, like Golden State's Rick Barry, also got into a lot of fights in those days.

    For example, the 1976-77 season alone saw 41 fights which each resulted in at least one ejection. There were many others (including some major incidents such as Houston's Calvin Murphy's beatdown of Boston's Sidney Wicks and a playoff fight between Golden State and Detroit that went into the Golden State stands TWICE) that had no ejections. Newspapers only bothered to mention fights where punches were thrown, which tells me that pushing/shoving/wrestling incidents were largely not mentioned because they were so numerous that they were considered a normal part of a game.

    Then-NBA Commissioner Lawrence O'Brien only instituted fines going up to $10,000 for fighting for the 1977-78 season. Before that fines were much smaller.

    Nah I wouldnt give anything to Curry when it appears he was just grabbing Hibbert. Thats cool. What wasnt cool and maybe I saw wrong is West throwing punches at Curry. He should get suspended.
