What’s The Standard For Suspensions, Anyway?

I'd like to thank Red's Army reader Patrick for passing this along.

Take a look at what KG got suspended one game for earlier this season:

And now take a look at what Zach Randolph did last night.

So KG got tangled up with Andrew Bogut, and wasn't even looking when he threw the "punch."

Randolph stood over the guy and took a blatant cheap shot… and he gets TWO GAMES.

TWO???  You  mean to tell me that what Randolph did gets him only one more game than KG?  What the hell is the standard here?

UPDATE: You gotta love Zach's explanation:

Randolph said he was merely trying to push Amundson away. “He hopped up and got in my face and almost kissed me in my mouth,” Randolph said. “I just pushed him out of my face.”
