    That gives the Heat a chance of getting back into the series after blowing game 1. :icon_smile:

    I'd hate to see games possibly decided (not saying the Heat are a shoe in to win game 2) by a suspension but I think David Stern did a good job by sending a message that crap like this WILL NOT be tolerated. A 1 game suspension for KG's actions in game 1 is fair.
