But will he be suspended like Harden was? http://espn.go.com/boston/nba/story...ted-low-blow-vs-matt-bonner-san-antonio-spurs
That should be multiple games. Harden's was more of a girly nudge. That was a full on peach sack punch.
One does not simply hit Red Mamba in the balls. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Matt Bonner - on behalf of all Celtics fans, I apologize for what happened to your balls.

This looks a lot more malicious than what Harden did, so yes, he should be suspended for at least as long.
Harden tapped Lebron with far less force to the right of his groin and got suspended for 1 game. Either Marcus Dumb gets the same treatment or once again the league slurped LeBron when he whined.
