That doesn't deserve a one game suspension.

I doubt it, but I would have to guess the refs will have an eye on him which doesn't hurt.

Missed that, what happened?
Stone palmed a dude's head that was lying on the ground and pushed it against the floor hard. I wouldn't say a SLAM but it was hard. I can't believe he wasn't ejected. Rico's is tame in comparison.

WOW!! I would think that the conference will review that play and issue a punishment. Sounds bad.

He should be. I don't care if it wasn't a fist...a ridiculous cheap shot that could have easily hurt someone.

If the league doesn't take action, all big men take note that "this type of non play on the ball where you try to hurt a guy with a shot to the face is OK because you are frustrated that your team is getting it's *** kicked."

Rico Gathers Sr....oh I'll bet he's just a mature, wonderful dad. Goodness.

The guy he hit in the face had to get stitches.

I watched the Diamond Stone foul love and was shocked he was not tossed.

What is the rule on a flagrant 2? Do they review and if held up as a F2, is he automatically suspended?

Personally I think it would be ridiculous if he got suspended... From that angle looks like he was going to smack the ball and the guy just moved the ball?? Must be missing something don't see how that's even a F2
