No reason not to send an end of the bench goon to try and take out the best player in a playoff series. Like in hockey where you can fight and just miss 5 minutes or whatever it is. Albeit that one its at least a fair fight.It's likely because of the context of Wagner initiating it, although I think a longer suspension would still be warranted just because of how dangerous blows to the back of the head are.
Bynum should have been suspended for way more than 5 games though, that was just one of the cheapest shots in a game ever and could have greatly affected the rest of the playoffs.
