The NBA has handed out suspensions to Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul and Brandon Ingram for the fracas on Saturday night, and I question the leniency that was exercised by the League. Ingram was suspended for four games - Rondo for three - and Paul for two. I frankly expected more severe penalties.
Let me start with Ingram. His initial shove of The Rockets James Harden was the starting point for all of this. That ended quickly, but when CP3 and Rondo got testy with each other, Brandon decided he was going to join in, moving aggressively towards an official and then throwing a punch at Chris, who was being held by the Lakers Lebron James.
