Yea, but what is the value of a playoff game, vs. a regular season game suspension. That's the only way I can look at it. Two games with a suspended starter, and one injured, in the playoffs - possibly costs you two games in a series and likely knocks you out. The KO suspension is about as harsh a punishment as having him run one extra lap at the end of a practice. I bet they took Love being injured into account. If Love did not get hurt, Smith might have gotten a 5 game suspension, but clearly they are looking for balance in handing out penalties. I bet the players union has some real influence in suspensions as well. If it is too harsh a penalty, the union surely will start some sort of action to defend a player.
