The NBA rule book could save the Atlanta Hawks

[ATLHawks3]

According to the rule book.....

c. During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $35,000. The suspensions will commence prior to the start of their next game. A team must have a minimum of eight players dressed and ready to play in every game. If five or more players leave the bench, the players will serve their suspensions alphabetically, according to the first letters of their last name. If seven bench players are suspended (assuming no participants are included), four of them would be suspended for the first game following the altercation. The remaining three would be suspended for the second game following the altercation.

Remember that altercation between Scott and Hill?

They won't suspend him the league will stretch the hell out of "immediate vicinity" and say he didn't go far enough.

If they don't thats just a bunch of BS. If you see in the clip below, Paul George stepped on court, possibly even past the 3 point line.

The league will say that it wasn't an altercation.

[Admin]

Yeah no way the league goes by the rule book here.

No way. The league always cuts teams with superstar players as much slack as possible

I agree but I don't see a star driven league suspending the series biggest star in game 7 unless it unavoidable.

Silver or whoever has the jurisdiction to view this should show that the NBA is not a fixed league anymore. I hope PRAY that Paul George won't play in game 7.

[Gray Mule]

No. He's safe.

Besides, I want to beat them on their home court with their

team at full strength so there will be no excuses.

GO HAWKS !!

Why didn't they cut Amare and Diaw slack? Amare was a superstar at that time.

Ok, now that was more severe, but George did step on court so the NBA should follow the rule book on it.

[GameTime]

This happened with the Hawks and Celtics in 2008 and the NBA did not do shit. *beep* you Stern for that then and now Silver wont do anything now.

If PG gets suspended, we will cream Indy.

You forget about the prime rule of the NBA, money over everything. You think they're gonna risk not selling tickets or losing ratings because PG is suspended.

If you read the whole article, you'd realize how much of a possibility George not playing in game 7 could really be.

The NBA rulebook states the following: “During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $50,000.”
