If Lindsey Hunter was in any way bitter about being hit with a 10-game suspension for taking a diet pill — especially when he sees players committing worse offenses with more lenient league penalties (see Ron Artest) — he isn’t letting on.

“It would be easy for me to point the finger and do things like that, but that’s not me,” said Hunter, the guard who returned to the team on Sunday. “My wife (Ivy) and I discussed that. This was a mistake. It was nothing that I was trying to do, nothing that was malicious or anything like that. It was a mistake, and throughout life you are going to make mistakes.

“I accept what I did and I am not going to point my fingers or say anything negative.”
