Seems to me like they can't decide what to do. There must not be a consensus about what the exact punishment should be much like when the actual play itself happened. Can't say that is a good or bad thing to be honest with you.
You're just building up this indecision in your head. League offices don't run like that. If they were going to review it, there would have been an announcement by now, and people would have been speculating. In these cases, silence is almost always a good thing. The less they say, the better it usually is for the player hoping to not be suspended. I could be wrong at the end, but I'd be very surprised if it comes down that he's going to miss a game.
Hope you're right, but you'd have to think he would at least be he with a fine of some sort here, but there is silence.

Well, that sucks. I was going to leave work early to watch this one...now I don't know if I'll watch at all. Lots of work to do.
Sigh. I hate how all 4 major sports are being run in this country right now. Zero transparency, obvious agendas, and no accountability. It's become a complete joke.
a fine wouldve been fine. but a suspension? too much... just when i was starting to warm up to silver
I guess he will be. What Harden did was wrong. I'd be fine with the suspension if they did the same to LBJ for pinning Beverley down to the ground.
No, this is a golden opportunity. It won't be easy, but if we can manage a win again Atlanta with Harden and Howard, that's a pretty big statement. Somebody's going to have to step up, though, big time. Ariza, TJ, D-Mo and Josh, Bev and Terry, maybe KPop and Prigioni. Hell, the whole team needs to step up.
Except that LeBron basically elbow dropped James while he was on the floor, and that should have been called.
