The inconsistency of enforcement here is absolutely ridiculous. Duncan is a superstar and the league loves their superstars. Stoudamire is an All-Star, but not a superstar, therefore he is out of tonight's game and Duncan isn't.

It's funny who the league protects and who they decide to make an example of.

The NBA has proven that violence and thuggery is okay, but taking a few steps away from the bench is not.

I think this proves Duncan didnt warrant a suspension at all. Their was no fight taking place and he at first went on to the floor because he was fired up about the dunk.

Yes or no, cougjunkie: The Suns now have an incentive to intentionally harm a Spurs player in front of the Spurs bench. |

There has to be discretion in this kind of thing. If not, you will wind up with idiotic decisions like this one. |

I watched this about 50 times during my workout at 24 Hour at lunch today. Mike and Mike had Stu Jackson on and he explained that Duncan wasn't suspended because there was no altercation. Players routinely get excited and jump up and down and onto the court at times during big plays, dunks, when the other team is calling a time out to stop momentum, etc.
Diaw and Amare left the bench and had to be restrained from escalating an altercation that was on the court. Even though one could argue they were on the sidelines and not the court, Stu explained that they were 20-25 feet from their bench. Had the incident and altercation taken place on the sideline opposite their bench and Diaw and Amare reacted the same, that would have put them into the lane. For once I agree with Stu Jackson here. Also, it was clarified during the conversation with Mike and Mike that he only suggests penalties and suspensions and that David Stern either approves, amends, or vetoes what he recommends.
