3?  he'll be lucky to just get 3.

Probably right being a repeat offender and not named Draymond.

I couldn't see what Duren did, I only saw him back out of the confrontation. Stu definitely in trouble though.

Hand to the face to start it all.

Ok - didn't pick that up - I thought maybe there was a head butt by one of them.

stew probably gets 8-10.  maybe 5 if he's lucky.  he left the bench, he's a repeat offender, and he's not famous on a glamour team like draymond.

bridges should be kicked out of the league because he beats more than jusy guys on a basketball floor.  he'll probably get a game.  duren will get 2 or 3.  diabete should get the same.

And it'll be worth it after the wife beater kept going at Duren. 

Stew does some dumb unprovoked things too often but I completely back him  tonight, that was awesome and a great game overall. That's the way the NBA should be, the Pistons are bringing the hate back.

Pistons are only a half game behind OKC for the best record in the NBA.    

39-13   two years ago they were 8-44 

This is incredible.

Charlotte has a ton of issues. Their biggest one is they have a bunch of guys that can score, but nobody who can go get a bucket. You need a guy you can hand the ball to and tell him to go get you a basket. They don't have that and it's a huge issue. 

The good thing they have going for them? They might be the only bad team in the league that isn't tanking. So they will win quite a few games against those bad teams.

I don't know, they look pretty legit to me because it looks like they learned to play defense and with all those shooters all over the floor and them finally being healthy that's a dangerous team. I think Kneppel is a real gamechanger for them, very smart player and can score from anywhere. They're probably the one team I don't want to face in the 1st round.

Beef Stew will probably get 10 games, but that reputation will not suffer because of it.     The Bad Boys are back !!!

You hope to get a cakewalk like Charlotte in the 1st.  4-0 not a single game within 10 points.

They def leaned into each other with their heads...I'm sorry, but Stew has to be smarter than that..you can't leave the bench like that.  It's not Duren had anything to worry about from Bridges at that point.  Duren should have been smarter too..he escalated it beyond the head butts.

Agree about Stew.  Duren was fine at that point and Bridges had a good 5 or 6 people holding him back by the time Stew engaged.  Silly suspension to take.

But Diabate kept pushing his head into Duren's face so I could see why he pushed his head away and... without audio...

I'm guessing with a "Get out of my face man!!!"

He escalated it because he kept backing away from Diabate but Diabate kept forcing his forehead into Duren's face.

I hope the league sees what I see and gives Duren 1 game and Diabate 3.

It probably won't work out that way but... not being a homer... Diabate forced the issue. IMO.

[Deleterious]

I laughed when I saw some fans posting on social media trying to convince the league that LeVert came off the bench during the fight.

The fight never would have happened if Duren hadn't been fouled hard. That was the very start of the melee. But Duren giving that guy a face shove? Yeah, 3 games. At least. 

[Deleterious]

Open-handed, more of a shove than a punch.  I would guess Duren only gets one game and Stew gets three.
