It's important to me because Shaq is on my fantasy league team, and we update rosters weekly. Tonight is the deadline for this week's games (so if I play Shaq, he's locked in for the week)... If he's suspended one game, I'll go with him ..... if he'll get more than that, I'll have to run Cliff Robinson (ugh... been cold lately)
Two games, imo. The league doesn't want him absent from the nationally televised game against the Spurs next saturday.
I agree with Matador, it'll be 5 games. Can suspensions be appealed in the NBA? If so, then that might delay when he starts the suspension.
Hey Clutch, are you interested in taking over a team in our league? One of our owners can't spare the time anymore. It is a very active league, and all the guys are from the BBS. It is at CBS Sportsline and is a weekly league (like the one your in) so it won't take up too much of your time.
I am guessing at least 5 games as well.. I've already benched him for the week in BobFinn*'s minor league
I think Stern will say Shaq was just trying to pat Miller on the back and should not be suspended any games. We wouldn't want the Lakers to start losing and for everyone to see that Kobe is not quite the same player minus Shaq. Kobe - Shaq = Stackhouse.
