No Suspensions

Things got heated during the second quarter of Monday night’s Celtics-Hawks playoff game. It began when Kevin Garnett took offense to being elbowed by Atlanta’s Zaza Pachulia, and Zaza came back by going forehead-to-forehead with KG. A minor scrum ensued, which was mostly quelled by the refs and the two teams’ coaches. Garnett, Pachulia, Joe Johnson and Sam Cassell ended up being called for technicals. Everything got back to normal after that…if “normal” includes Joe Johnson going insane in the fourth quarter, and single-handledly pulling the Hawks even in the series.  Earlier today it was released that no one will get suspended for the altercation.  That also includes Marvin Williams and Kendrick Perkins who both got up from the bench, but didn’t leave it entirely.  The league did the right thing here.  I mean David Sterin was in the house that night.  I saw it first hand and it was not a brawl, just a bunch of manly pushing and guys jawing at each other.  KG clearly didn’t push ref Ed Rush very severely, plus Williams and Perkins only barely left the bench area.  No reason to send this series spiraling into controversy the same way last year’s Spurs-Suns series was.  Game 5 tonight in Boston.
