    That is great news, NBA does not want to lose money for a non-big issue foul.

    I made this same point earlier. Guys like Dwight and Blake Griffin simply can't win. If they respond physically to an instigator, they are mentally soft. If they don't respond physically to an instigator, they are soft.

    Lose-lose

    No human should have the birth name "Diamond"..... and certainly not a male. They just do things a little different on the Left coast I guess..... I am sure he had a brother named Topaz.

    I don't know man -- males that can pull off the name Diamond are typically the type of hombre you don't want to mess with: i.e. pimps, pro-wrestlers, crime lords etc.

    Good news. He has to stay cautious throughout today's game and hopefully the ones to come. Just be smart.

    However, completely prepared for Harden's suspension once they realize all that cocaine that washed up in Galvy was his... ;)
