David Stern Laying Down the Law...

Honestly, I knew this was coming and Carmelo was going to get. The good ol' NBA certainly did not show any mercy on both the Knicks and Nuggets. Late this afternoon, Stern brought down the hammer and according to ESPN, seven on Monday were given suspensions totaling 47 games.

Carmelo got the brunt of it - 15 games. After the brawl, Stern is sending a message to everyone that such acts of boorishness and stupidity will not be accepted.

As well, each team got suspended $500,000.

I have never heard of a team being fined, is this a precedent?
