Garnett has done this numerous times to players over the years and has never been suspended for it.

This happens all the time in the NBA. Not sure why its such a huge story. Suspend him, but then suspend others who do the same thing in the future. If the league had more consistent discipline for these type of acts, punishments would serve as much more effective deterrents.

“The hit caused Mayo to say Cousins has “mental issues” and generally slam Cousins. Of course, that is a little of the pot calling the kettle black, which is what Cousins said in his response.”

Are you talking about where OJ says he’s an allstar caliber talent and can be the face of the franchise every other sentence? Far from slamming a guy who just intentionally punched you in the junk. Pretty nice of him actually.

usually I disagree with fines and suspensions because they’re way too stern…

this one, i think, is too lenient.

you don’t hit a man in the groin, it’s just not cool and this was just too blatant.

i think they should have suspended him for 3-5 games.

Yeah that looked really intentional. Mayo’s groin was literally inches away and there’s no way Cousins wasn’t aware of it.
