When someone throws stuff at you, that is assult and provocation. I don't care if they are fans. Some of them asked for it.

When someone throws stuff at you, you let security handle it. When you're being paid millions per year to play basketball, don't switch careers and go for boxing.

All the fans involved need to be charged and given jail time. Let them pay for their actions just like the players have to.

Hell, these guys are paid millions to have stuff thrown at them.

These players started it on the floor, the crowd got into it, and they let their egos get the better of them. One look at that crying little girl and her father was enough for me -- no excuse for any player to enter the stands and engage the fans in fisticuffs.

I've had it with the NBA.
