Hooped Up

Today the NBA handed down suspensions for the Rockets versus Suns brawl that happened a few nights ago and the punishment list reads as such according to the San Francisco Gate. Alston and Barnes two games without pay and one for Nash. The league also fined Shaquille O’Neal $35,000 and Tracy McGrady $25,000.

If you have a look at the video, Nash was about as violent as Mohandas K. Gandhi. Guess who wishes they got their money’s worth on this one?

Tip of the hat to Ben, on this one.

The Suns put a shot of adrenaline into their team and what had been a sleepy free-agency period by signing ex-Golden State small forward Matt Barnes to a one-year contract. The sixth-year NBA veteran signed for the league’s veteran minimum contract ($1.2 million, about $400,000 of which is paid by league funds) and will immediately step into the rotation as either a starter or bench player on the wing. He will be in Phoenix to take his physical on Monday morning and is expected to finalize his deal afterward.
