He broke the rules he should be gone.  From the way he was walking he was not trying to break up anything.   I think with Silver being new he may go hardcore to set an example.   This series is doo doo and it will help the HEAT whom the league has spent millions marketing.

The rule is that he can't leave "the vicinity of the bench area".  It's a not a "the court is hot lava" rule, being on it isn't a problem itself.

Looking at the clip George is never more than 4-5 feet from the bench area and never gets close to the altercation.  There was a similar play in that 07 Suns-Spurs series where I think Parker and someone else took a single step toward the court during a tiff and got no suspension.  He'll be fine.
Yeah I hope so. I want both squads at full strength for game 7.
