December 22, 200421 yr Interesting that ONeal was the only one who got reduced. I still think Jackson and Artest's suspensions should be flipped, but oh well. Getting JO back is huge.

I was wrong in the beginning, but I thought they'd all be back before the Christmas game. Did anyone see PTI yesterday? Larry Brown's such a classy guy. I felt bad for him. He was talking about how it was the first time he didn't want to go to work. His son was the ballboy at that game, and hasn't wanted to go back since. He also felt so bad for the Pistons and Pacers organization, working for both. He says it's going to be hard for either team to get away from this for along time. Also, he was so sickened by the idea of this game between two 12-11 teams was going to be on national tv on a holiday such as Christmas.

December 22, 200421 yr I'm also surprised that Jackson and Artest didn't get their suspensions shortened. But if someone had to get it shortened, it was O'Neal, I still think 15 was way too much for him.

December 23, 200421 yr That is great news for my fantasy team. Now, if only Kirilenko can get back by mid-to-late January...I'll be back in business.
