and no, they don't have to suspend the fans, they can ban the asshole that threw the beer, and just not punish the players, because those idiots deserved it.
Before the NBA can ban anyone they have to find out who threw the beer. They know who threw the punches and have acted accordingly. They don't know who threw the beer. So, let's wait and see.
Just because the fan deserves to be punished doesn't mean the players don't as well. That's what I've been saying all along.
