Saturday, on national television, the Lakers and Rockets fought. Brandon Ingram pushed James Harden out of frustration, Rajon Rondo spitting at Chris Paul, comforting Chris Paul Rajon Rondo, Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul beating in the face, and Brandon Ingram punching Chris Paul away.
On Sunday, the NBA issued suspensions: two games for Chris Paul, three games for Rajon Rondo and four games for Brandon Ingram.
Thus continues the campaign of Kiki Vandeweghe, a completely arbitrary punishment.
Ingram deserved two games for the crazy punch that he had pitched, but it was unfair to nail two more games because he would have invented everything by pushing Harden. It was unfair to go crazy. Brandon Ingram is not the reason why Rondo spit at CP3. Give Ingram more time because the situation has become uncontrollable punishes him for crimes committed by others.
Two games for CP3 is absurd. He did not play against Rondo when he was spit on. He only swayed when Rondo started to launch hay factors. The NBA concluded that Rondo had spit on CP3. ThisThe instigation to real combat. Rondo then launched the first punch in the event.
Rondo should be punished at least double what CP3 receives, if not more. And there is no chance that Ingram will have a harsher punishment than Rondo, who has a decent disciplinary record. (This is something that is supposed to be important.)
Of course, this is far from the 15 games that Carmelo Anthony got for playing against the Knicks. But there are few rhymes or reasons for the suspension decisions of the NBA.

On Friday, Timberwolves fans went from booing Jimmy Butler to singing MVP songs in two quarters. (I suppose there is a split in Timberwolf's church on Butler and the anti-Jimmies are booing and the pro-Jimmies are encouraging.)

Until then, the game of the season was to be Jazz vs Warriors on Friday. This is an 81-point win for Utah, a career match with Joe Ingles, a strong comeback under Steph Curry and Jonas Jerebko's revenge.
