they should have suspended Len for the cheap shot on Young who started it....

More of an open-handed shove to Dragic's head, but the league pretty much views that as a punch. Too bad his teammates stood around and watched the fray. Maybe if they came in to stick up for Nick, things wouldn't have escalated to that point.

lame flagrant and lame retaliation IMO.

So, someone hammers you to the floor and you aren't going to get up in their face?

No you're supposed to pat them on the back and say good foul

so when LeClown or Durant get knocked to the floor in same fashion as Young did, the notion by some posters here is that they should get up and do nothing?? Wusses I say...

Like Coach said, you guys only had like 8 players dressed. If more jumped in then you could of been SOL considering it happened before halftime.

we'll just see when a "good foul" is layed on one of these teams' players what the reaction will be....

assinine cause all Young wanted was one or a few of his teammates to get in front of him and avoid him lunging towards Dragic.... not to duke it out which would have had no one ejected. Simple logic stupid people.

I'm not saying go in and start throwing punches, but they needed to be in there to have his back and separate things. Kendall Marshall stood at the 3-point line and watched everything unfold. Sorry man, but that ain't much of a teammate regardless of how many were dressed.

Who said they were jumping in to fight? Young was surrounded by 5 Suns players who weren't exactly trying to help the situation while hiss teammates just sat and watch....Would have been nice to have at least 2 of your teammates jump in to calm everyone now or even push 1 or 2 suns players to let them know don't fuck with our teammate. You aren't getting ejected for pushing

Things don't always work that way though. All it would take would be someone to push Marshall (or whoever) and it escalates even further.

It's not ok to leave your teammate alone to get ganged up. I'm sorry but you're wasting time by basically saying it's ok to leave your teammate 1 on 5

Maybe that's a reflection on how "Swaggy P's" teammates feel about him.....

I'll make sure never to be on your team then. I'll take that risk when my teammate is getting ganged up on.

I agree this is very possible...Maybe if it was Pau, they would have came to his defense.

:rollseyes: ....you make it sound as if he was down, getting kicked in the face.
