maybe your too young to remember. Knick players were suspended that were not involved at all, they simply stood up and walked onto the court. I think Ewing or Starks took like 2 steps off the bench and were suspended. Literally all they did was stand and watch. Sorry dude... I know Paul George is your golden boy but he should be held to the same standard and letter of the law. Nobody is asking for anything to be done to PG that wasnt already done to the Knicks already and YES during playoff elimination games. In case you forgot Knicks were leading Heat series 3-2 before literally every player was suspended for either game 6 or 7
it has nothing to do with my like or dislike of a particular player-- that would be an emotional and irrational reaction. i would have the exact same response of any player i am not a fan of.
when diaw and stoudemire left the bench they went half way down the sideline towards the scorer's table. what they did was wrong and they in fact left the immediate vicinity of the bench. i didn't like the suspensions at all but they broke the rule, clearly.
look carefully at the rule itself-- "players must remain in the immediate vicinity of the bench."
look carefully at what actually transpired with paul george.
think carefully whether george violated the very carefully worded rule.
if you are going to compare the ewing and starks event with the paul george event then at least find the footage in question of them otherwise it's just going to be seen as more bloviating by you.
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
