NEW YORK -- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Monday his league will take a fresh look at its domestic violence procedures in the wake of the NFLs rash of incidents. Silver said during a community service event in Staten Island that the league has been discussing with the NBA Players Association ways to further educate players and provide programs to them and their families. We learn from other leagues experiences, Silver said. Were studying everything thats been happening in the NFL. Were working with our players association. Weve been talking for several weeks and were going to take a fresh look at everything we do. The NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell have been criticized for punishments that were too slow or lenient for Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in recent domestic violence cases. Goodell said last week the NFL wants to implement new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl. The NBAs collective bargaining agreement calls for a minimum 10-game suspension for a first offence of a player convicted of a violent felony. We have in place the appropriate mechanisms for discipline, although well take a fresh look at those as well, Silver said. But most importantly, its education, and its not just the players, but its the players families. Thats what were learning, too. We have to take these programs directly to the players spouses, directly to their partners so that theyre aware of places they can go to express concerns, whether theyre anonymous hotlines, team executives, league executives. And were consulting experts. Theres a lot to be learned here. Its a societal problem; its not one thats unique to sports. Silver spoke at the opening of a refurbished Staten Island playground and basketball court in an area damaged by Hurricane Sandy. He was joined by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Knicks and Nets officials in announcing community efforts throughout New York, which will host the 2015 All-Star weekend. Silver said the goal of the programs is to directly reach 500,000 children. New union executive director Michele Roberts also took part in what was her first official day in her new position. However, Silver said discussions with her started before Monday. We do have in place, unlike the NFL, a penalty scale, and to the extent it needs any tweaking, then well talk about tweaking it, Roberts said. What I hope were going to do as well is figure out ways to prevent any occurrence like that on our side. Its one thing to know how to react in the event it happens; its a lot smarter to try to make sure it doesnt happen in the first instance. Silver noted that the NBA has had its own difficulties with issues off the court, saying the aftermath of former Clippers owner Donald Sterlings racist remarks means everyone understands the high standard that we are living under now in the NBA. The NFLs issues just accelerated the need to look for improvements. Its been going on, but the whole world is focused right now on whats happening around the NFL, Silver said, so itd be foolish for us not to try to learn from everything thats happening with that league as well. Dennis Smith Jr. White Jersey . Smiths former Atlanta teammates were glad to hang on for an ugly win. Dennis Smith Jr. Jersey . -- Aaron Rodgers looked fine on the practice field Thursday. http://www.mavericksteamofficial.com/de ... ks-jersey/. He had spent 16 days on the disabled list before being activated Thursday. He was batting just .203 when he came to bat in the 11th inning on Sunday. Dennis Smith Jr. Womens Jersey . Louis Cardinals. He was 48. The commissioners office said Bell died in his home state of Ohio. Bell had not been feeling well over the weekend and had been scheduled to see doctors later Monday at the Cleveland Clinic. Dennis Smith Jr. Authentic Jersey . Certainly not Monday night. George Hill took care of the early work, scoring a season-high 26 points, and Paul George closed it out by scoring 11 of his 26 points during a decisive second-half stretch that finally allowed Indiana to pull away from Minnesota 98-84 for yet another win.WINNIPEG - Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne says it just feels good to be back and in shape after a difficult year last season.The veteran shut out the Winnipeg Jets 2-0 Friday night for his third victory in four games this season.It spoiled the Jets home opener in front of a sold out MTS Centre but for Rinne, sidelined with a hip injury for most of last season, the teams 3-0-1 start is particularly satisfying.It was a tough season last year, battling with the injury, it took forever to get back, he said.Im just having fun, enjoying hockey. I had a really good summer. Im back to where I need to be physically and just trying to enjoy it and stay healthy.Mike Ribeiro scored the only goal the visitors needed in the first period and James Neal added another at 7:31 of the third.We came in here with a good mindset, said Neal, like Ribeiro an addition to the Predators lineup after the club missed the playoffs last season.We knew the Jets would be fired up.Jets coach Paul Maurice said it was a disappointing way to open the season at home and despite the shots-on-goal edge for the Jets (31-27) he didnt think they had enough. The Jets and Predators came out tied for shots at even strength and on the power play but the Jets had four while short-handed.Part of it was it was a tight, tight game, there wasnt a lot of offence to be had, said Maurice.Weve got to put more of the basic stuff to the net so we can bang some ugly ones in.Ondrej Pavelec was also strong in the Winnipeg net and it took a little help for Nashville to score.Ribeiro tipped a shot from Seth Jones high past Pavelec at 16:19 to get things started then Neal added the insurance through traffic with a puck that appeared to glance off a couple of Jets.The Predators had four power plays and the Jets three, but neither scored. Both teams have struggled with their power play this season and its not a new issue for Winnipeg, which ranked 25th in the NHL last season.But new Nashville Centre Olli Jokinen, who played the lastt couple of seasons in Winnipeg, says both teams are getting chances.dddddddddddd.I think we got a lot of good looks, he said. Its just a matter of time. The goals will come. Weve been working that a lot in practice.Both teams had good looks on the power play. Youve got to just stay the course. Its a long season and goals will come.The Jets (1-3-0) have now gone four games without scoring a power-play goal and the Predators are doing only slightly better with one.They did a good job keeping things to the outside but I still think we got a few chances and some good looks, said Jets captain Andrew Ladd.I think we have to have a sense of calm and confidence in here that we can fix a few things. We obviously know that we need to do some things better here and well move on tomorrow, work on them in practice and get better.This is the second game out of four the Jets have played that theyve been shut out. They lost 3-0 in San Jose Oct. 11.But centre Bryan Little says it isnt as though theyre not creating chances.Especially on the power play we had some great chances and their goalie came up and made big saves, said Little.We get a couple of goals next game and everyone gets that confidence back.Rinne showed why his absence from the Nashville net was so painful last season, frustrating the Jets best several times.Winnipeg put on lots of pressure but the veteran drafted by Nashville in 2004 seemed to anticipate every move.Rinne played only 24 games last season due to a hip injury as Nashville missed the playoffs for a second season a row and coach Barry Trotz was sacked.Winnipegs record for home openers fell to 1-3 with the loss.Notes: The Jets (not counting their Atlanta years) are now 2-3-1 in their meetings with the Predators. Nashvilles two seasons out of the playoffs were preceded by seven out of eight seasons in the playoffs, including two trips to the conference semis. The Jets have made just one appearance when they were known as the Atlanta Thrashers (2007).
