2014 NBA Playoffs: 1st Round

Perhaps instead of firing Corbin we could have traded him for Pop since the Spurs fans are so unhappy with him. :D

Wait, Nene was suspended but not Butler?

Don't know if you've seen the pictures.

First of all I don't think what Nene did was suspension worthy. But he

a) bumped Butler on purpose after his own bucket. Butler responded by pushing him slightly back

b) Nene now goes front and hands out a slight headbutt, gives him a clap on the back of his head and palms both hands around his head, maybe chokes him a little

c) When they got seperated he forms a fist ready to throw a punch

d) Butler showed no body language that signaled that he planned to create more than a yelling match.

I'd say since no punches were thrown and it's a playoff series don't punish it with a suspension(In regular season it's a clear cut suspension) but I can see what the NBA is doing right there.
They see that a Bulls series with feisty physical play has some altercation potential and they try to disarm the situation before it starts.
