Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 290498, member: 966"] Suspend Riley? Seriously? Pittman, absolutely. Haslem, absolutely. I can't fathom, though, that a directive to retaliate for a bush-league gesture by a non-factor bench player came down from above. And, especially not after what's happening to the Saints and the bounty controversy. What Howard did, pre-game, was the right thing to do. Make your point with the kid. What Haslem did was tit for tat, except it was an overreaction to a basketball play gone bad. Basically, though, these basketball players are too sensitive about meaningless talk and gestures. It's getting to be baseball-like. The game is far too physical, and now they're freaking out over 'names' rather than the 'sticks and stones.' [/QUOTE]
