If I were judge....
From what I saw and read, Duncan, Bowen, Stoudemire, and Diaw earned
automatic suspensions for being on the floor during altercations. All had
to be restrained to get them back to their seats, with the exception of
Bowen who was restraining Duncan. Rather than toss the lot out for a
game,
I recommend heavy fines pro****tional to their salaries, and put them on
probation for a year, i.e., a more severe penalty than usual if they do it
again. Bowen, as a peacekeeper (!) can either get off or a lighter fine.
If
Horry's crime was solely the flagrant, a fine should suffice for him as
well.
The player's union probably prohibits heavy fines though.
