    Forget love, I hope the ref was suspended. Clear foul, clear flagrant, not a single call?

    I don't know why some of you guys think it was the right call by the NBA. I live in Germany and if you do this kind of foul in soccer in our national league you will get suspended for minimum 1 month. This would be 4 or 5 games. In 34 game season like in our soccer league a lot but 2 games in an NBA season it is nothing.

    Wow awesome critique. So even if they felt Love deserved 5 days it would have been hard to give it them. Why no team should be owned by the league.

    Two games seems about right along with the knowledge any future incident will be punished worse.

    THIS.

    Whether Love's foot to face was intentional or not, the tossing of Scola to the ground was.

    I said 3-5, I think 2 games is soft but at least he did get punished.

    He probably thinks 10 games suspension would have been fair. :p

    i feel it was a fair deal after what he did to Scola. whether he says it was intentional or not he still deserves to be suspended without pay. i am very happy the league took a good look at the tape and did something.

    What I think is fair is that when a player gets a suspension of this nature, the suspension should be vs the team whereby the event occurred.

    In other words, Love should be suspended for his next 2 games vs the Rockets.
