If James knew that his boys would get suspended for the "altercation" I am sure he would have gladly shoved the Spurs player so that Duncan got suspended in the 2nd quarter. Because James or the spurt player didn't shove, the league uses that as its excuse to give Duncan the free pass.
Total bullshit.
And the worst part is they just ruined a great series. One which the NBA sorely is in need of these days.

The rule is bullshit to begin with, but yeah that is a double standard and player/team preference.
