Ok, so Lamar Odom goes Jack Tatum on Ray Allen and gets a one game suspension, Zach Randolph throws a headband (even if it hit a ref, not on the same level at all) and gets a one game suspension. So in David Stern's mind, throwing a headband is the same as practicing for a WWE tryout during a basketball game. Are you f$#king kidding me?!?!? Is this a joke?!?! This is ridiculous, the NBA needs to get consistent and realistic with it's rulings.

I believe throwing things is an automatic one game suspension - no debate - its been that way... so technically he is being consistent.

Regardless of what I think, I'm sure David Stern could careless.

Besides, I'm sure somewhere Robert Parish and Bill Laimbeer are sitting together on a couch, sharing a plate of nachos and ROFL that Odom was even suspended.

That Lamar Odom thing was blown way out of porportion. WWE thing? This was just a hard foul in my opinion.

How often do you think MJ got tackled like this by the Knicks? And at that time, NBA was probably more popular. I think that this policy is just stupid, no hard fouls any more and no toughness allowed really.

the nba is cream-puff soft right now and it's pathetic. watch tape from the 1980s. bird chocked DJ, parish slugged lambeer. i wish people would stop the hyperbole with odoms "tackle" of allen. if anything it was a hip check but more importantly who gives a ****?
