Hawks Marvin Williams Suspended One Game

Quote:
NEW YORK, May 7, 2008 – Marvin Williams of the Atlanta Hawks has been suspended one game without pay for committing a Flagrant Foul, Penalty Two for knocking Boston’s Rajon Rondo to the floor, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations.

The incident occurred with 9:09 remaining in the third period of the Hawks’ 99-65 loss to the Celtics on Sunday, May 4, at TD Banknorth Garden.

Williams will serve his suspension during Atlanta’s first game of the 2008-09 season.

Didn't see this coming. I don't think he should be suspended, but I'm really not surprised by anything Stu Jackson does anymore. What are your thoughts?

Every time I read Stu Jackson and suspension, I must think about a catch phrase from The Rock: "Stu (Shane), you can go **** on a monkey's ****** and Stu (Vince), you can go **** a lama's anus.

Re: Marvin Williams Suspended One Game

Marvin tried to take Rondo's head off, so yeah, it's fair.

Re: Marvin Williams Suspended One Game

You joking? He clearly caught him before he could hit the floor. I thought a Flagrant 2 was borderline excessive, but a suspension is unfair.

Re: Marvin Williams Suspended One Game

I thought this was a much worse foul than the one Al Horford had on TJ Ford earlier this year that had so many people up in arms. I don't have a problem with the suspension. Just one game.
