Mispronunciation Leads to Clipper Suspensions

An already forgettable game became all the more troublesome for the Clippers with word today that comments made by their announcing team led to suspensions.  

The Clippers were losing handily to the Memphis Grizzlies when Hamed Haddadi was inserted into the game.  It's not unusual for teams to empty their bench near the end of a blow-out victory nor is it odd for announcers to point that fact out.

The Clippers' Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith got into trouble not for disparaging remarks about Haddadi or his native country of Iran.  No, Lawler and Smith were suspended for tonight's game against the Bleacher Report - Los Angeles Clippers
