Have we really lost so much respect for others in this country that below the belt shots are just another play?

I do not feel you are responding to my point. In the finals, except for one team having home court advantage, I believe the teams should be on equal footing. Any point system related to suspensions should start over. If you feel he should have been suspended for the Adams incident, which might be the case, that does not mean a make-up decision is okay to try and extend the finals and make more money. You are defending the NBA. The NBA probably wanted G.S. versus Cleveland as opposed to Oklahoma City. And it certainly wants more games in the finals. So while I feel Green only warranted a technical, even thought the NBA says it was a flagrant, it is a joke to suspend someone a game in the finals for one flagrant during the finals. This is his only flagrant during the finals. And I am not even commenting on LeBron's press conference in which he indirectly lobbied for it.
