This, IMO, isn't worthy of a five game suspension...short of physical contact with the official, past precedent hasn't called for five games. The mouthpiece bit and having to be restrained will add on a game...maybe two...for failure to leave in a timely fashion. I'd say 3 games max. Of course, this is without knowing what went into the league report.

Would it be different if he threw a water bottle and it hit Jones in the back?

In my book, throwing an object and hitting a human target constitutes physical contact.

I'm looking at this from what I think will be used as criteria in determining length of suspension. No, I don't think the NBA views throwing a mouthpiece and hitting an official the same as intentionally and physically contacting an official. Would it be different if it was a water bottle? Possible as it could be argued that there's a greater possibility for injury.

Yeah, but it's gross.

And it should be viewed as spitting at the official.
