Duren should not have gotten suspended and Bridges shouldn’t even be in the league after beating women

we can’t in one hand complain that the league is soft and that the jazz and other teams is doing a tankathon and then when two teams so passion and show they care about this ish they say it’s too soft with the punishments

Why do NBA players get penalized more than NFL, MLB, or NHL players for fighting?

Detroit was the instigator and Beef Stew should have been given a stiffer penalty.

There’s tough and theres stupid. I wouldn’t want to watch a game where the fight over plays the actual play of the game then WDF is the purpose of watching. That like if your coach says you need to get tougher he doesn’t mean go out there and turn your teammate upside down. Folks have a right to complain about the softness of the game because the product was soft, the money has been flowing and the product has clearly suffered.

…as ‘Stephen A’ mentioned, teams will use a strategy to get Beef Stew angry so he will lose his cool and get ejected…TEAM WILL USE WHATEVER STRATEGY THEY CAN DURING THE PLAYOFFS TO WIN GAMES.

7 games is too much.
The league is too soft.
Steward _had_ to come in to protect _Duren,_
his brother,
from Miles Bridges who punched him in the face.
What do You all expect him to do?
To just sit there & watch that unfold?
If it ever really comes down to it,
I would rather have _Steward_ in my corner than _Duncan Robinson._
Loyalty is very important to me.

2 games only for putting hands on Moussa? Weak. I guess more players will now start doing that.

So Paul George gets suspended 25 games for taking a pill and dues are punching each other and it gets suspended four games and seven games how does that make any sense.
