you do realize that there is NO fighting allowed in the NBA, hence the much stiffer penalty… Mello also makes WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY more money, and the NBA wants this kind of thing to stop…
Spacek, who will play the next game, I think 9 games is over board… When you allow fighting, “Good luck man”, everyone remember laraque? Maybe if Spacek’s jaw was broken, or broke his nose then yea… make it more stiff. But he will play next game… he is just gonna be bruised. Heaven forbid.
