Thought the fine would be bigger but it's all just chicken scratch to players making the max - I'm good with no suspension - although I don't know if it would be the same for others players or in non playoff games
Bring it! No suspension for Jokic.

That seems to be true. I admire your tenacity (and memory...LOL).
So the letter of the rules doesn't actually matter?
It'd be nice if we got an apology from the Nba for suspending Stoudemire and Diaw but that'll happen in a cold day in Hell.
That letter would have to come from hell.

All I'm saying is freaking looked Ishbia in the eye and extended his elbow into Ishbia ...the idiot knew exactly what he was doing and who it was. He's a punk. He always has this innocent oh me look. Screw him. You make contact with a fan you get suspended.

Does the Jewish religion believe in Hell?

Apples and oranges. You're view on what Russ did is skewed also. He was on his way to the locker room through the tunnel which happens to be through a bar set-up in the arena. Russ didn't do anything but respond to a fan heckling him. Whether the hecklers kids were present or not doesn't matter since they have a heckler for a parent. You can't admonish Russ for standing up for himself to a mouthy spectator simply because the guy had beer muscles with his kids in tow.

I expected something more. Jokic wasn't even ejected after the incident, and this occurred with a spectator, not a player.
Do you remember Amare and Diaw being suspended? They left the bench/court area and didn't touch anyone.
Well, Suns fan experienced it first hand with no leniency from the NBA commissioner. It likely cost them a championship.
It's not unreasonable to expect rules to be applied fairly and consistently. The fans didn't make up the rules. The NBA did.

Ergo Ron Artest cost the Suns a championship
No, he chose to go confront the fan instead of going through the tunnel to the locker room. He had to be restrained by a Clippers assistant.

I guess I'm missing the unfair advantage of the situation.

Artests put back on Kobe's Air ball to win game 5, is my guess.

Artest is the reason the sideline rules got so intense - had he not got bezerko - Amare and Diaw would not have been suspended

Is this referring to the infamous Malice at the Palace? Crazy incident, almost 20 years ago.

I believe the Amare/Diaw suspensions weren't far after the Malice at the Palace

If anything like this happens to a Suns player I don't want any of this dual standard stuff.
The Suns have already had their share of the short end of the stick with the Amare and Diaw suspensions.
I'm tired of Jokic getting the benefit of every ticky tack foul call while he is free to whatever he pleases.

Suns get by Denver they get to play one of two subpar teams.
