Thank you, Spurs, Mr. Stern

Experimenting through debate. Must I explain everything to you?Why would any scientist who wasn't a lying giant douche tell the subjects what the experiment was before even beginning?

[NBAisDead]

You said you were a scientist here to experiment on Spurs fans. So you are lying again? Have you told the truth once? Really, the more you fail to explain how any part of this is actually unfair, the more I enjoy the fact that the Spurs beat the Suns and there really isn't any legitimate gripe to be made about the series.

I'm not LITERALLY a scientist. Fuck you. Haven't you ever heard of a figure of speech?

You haven't provided one. I've seen literally thousands of basketball games. the NBA is the only sport I really watch and pay attention to. I know almost all the rules backward and forward. I know the players, I know the teams and I watch the news reports and read the papers. The only time that rule has failed to be applied is during the Lakers/Kings preseason game where two players were fighting in the tunnel and the teammates of one player ran into the tunnel because they thought their teammate had been attacked by fans. Since there was no altercation on the floor and the incident was so soon after the brawl in Detroit the NBA ruled that the suspensions wouldn't happen.

This was an altercation on the playing floor between players and Amare and Diaw left the bench. Why should they be allowed to get away without a suspension for the first time in NBA history?

[ChumpDumper]

You mean Diop.

[Strike]

That's all I've done tonight.

Really? Where are the facts? I've yet to see a document, memo, letter, video, picture, fingerprint, blood sample, or smoking gun.

All I, all WE have seen thus far is your opinion and mindless babbling.

That and dozens of jokes at your expense.

[Obstructed_View]

That's all I've done tonight.
All you've done tonight is lie and prove that your team wanted to cheat in order to win because they and all their fans knew that they weren't good enough to win fairly on the basketball court.

You defended Jason Terry punching Micheal Finley in the balls. Hello?
After Finley jumped on him. Terry got punished as well but dirty plays like this shouldn't go unpunished. Finley should've got suspended to since he initiated that incident.

[NBAisDead]

Uh, no.

[Marcus Bryant]

Obviously if the league office was contemplating a conspiracy to manipulate the outcome of the NBA playoffs they would have another championship for the small-market, "boring" Spurs as their goal. At least "dirty" made more sense on the 'enraged sore loser devoid of all logic' scale.

[ChumpDumper]

No, I think he was just a weird spurfan who wanted to try his hand at trolling.

Also, by playing the role of a Suns fan, I found out just how difficult it was to defend the team. ;) So, it was an experiment of sorts.

Suns fans absolutely can't answer that question though. I'd have felt mildly bad about the Spurs winning the series if anyone could have ever given me a single reason why the rule should be ignored. They gave Horry an extra game to make all the whiners happy, and the media just wanted the series to go longer or they were rooting for the Suns so they'd have something to write about. You pretty much nailed the fan sentiment, though.

They gave Horry an extra game to make all the whiners happy, and the media just wanted the series to go longer or they were rooting for the Suns so they'd have something to write about. You pretty much nailed the fan sentiment, though.The strongest argument is saying they were still in the vicinity, however, this is automatically overruled in my opinion by the fact that the precedent has been one toe on the court and the fact that he went a good 15-20 feet -- well past what any regular person would consider the vicinity of the bench.

The common argument is ignoring the rules for the sake of entertainment which of course undermines the integrity of the rules in the first place.

Anyhow, decent trolling, but I didn't buy the intellectual bit.

The Spurs are classy, don't whore themselves to the media, and would never get in a brawl. The ruling on the suspension would even further push the point that Stern does indeed care about the integrity of the league more than he does about having a good game with no suspended players.

[Obstructed_View]

[Ronaldo McDonald]

this wasn't even an argument to begin with because we all know that in all incorrupt instutions anyone who agrees that rules should be bent only in "certain situations" for the benefit of only a few people is unreasonable and a moron.

This is what is wrong with America:
Most people are unreasonable because they think our judicial system is provides us with justice and that the "philosophy" of it should be applied to every instution.

Stern has done a lot of things like that. If he was as evil as everyone says, he's had a hundred chances to screw the Spurs in the interest of the NBA, and he's never done it. I understand why Horry got the extra game. Fortunately it didn't end up being a factor. I'd have blamed Horry if it had.

[polandprzem]

NBAisDead is screwing ppl around


So who outsmarts whom?

[Scotti]

No wonder you mistook Diop for Diaw. It's quite difficult for a fan to make such a mistake.

But the argument that has been going on for the most part of this thread puts 'whining' Phoenix fans at an obvious disadvantage.

S/he should not be arguing based on past precedents. There is apparently no precedent in the NBA that offers a basis for the bending of this particular rule.

What s/he should be disputing is the axiomatic commitment that the rules must be enforced strictly, at all times, regardless of the actual situation.

S/he should argue that just as more physical basketball is acceptable in the playoffs (as opposed to the regular season), there is room for negotiation with regard to the rules - the purpose of which are to contribute to the value of fairness. Common sense must prevail above the rules which are set in black and white.

If Horry and Nash were fighting because of a loose ball, and Amare and Diaw stepped in, most of the Phoenix fans, I believe, would have just lamented how stupid their own players were. Owing to the nature of Horry's foul, in which Nash was deemed to be solely the victim, they felt the NBA should have practised sympathetic discretion in the administeration of the rule.

It boils down to a couple of questions: What are rules for (fairness or correctness)? Should the NBA be allowed to apply the rules according to their own discretion - just as the court of law allows mitigating circumstances to affect the given punishment- or would such application lead to chaos in the long run?

Thus there's no point arguing about the specific incident. There's no need to mention Horry, Nash, Amare or Diaw any further. If there's a need to advance this argument any further, we should be disputing the premises that both sides hold to, underneath the actual argument.

And why the premises each side accepts are actually justified.

That may make the whole discussion more worthwhile.

PS: I support the ruling btw. They deserve their suspension.

This was my favorite sentence in the post. Note that all four teams still playing (and thus one of whom will be the champions) do, in fact, play defense. So I'm not sure how it can be a "contrived conceit".

[Ronaldo McDonald]

A rule is fair if everyone is given provided with common sense and same opportunity to follow it.

It's like in the movie Speed. would it have been fair for the bus driver, Keanus character, to get a ticket for driving too fast?

Amare and Diaw can comprehend and follow rules just like everyone else can, and should. They decided not to.

Actually Spurs' basketball is one of the few things left of the great basketball of all times. With jumpshots, passes, etc. Dunks won't get you any title outside the US borders. Good international teams would pick you apart if you'd based you offense on displays of flare and celebrity.

Anyone who thinks it's a stupid rule needs to read the story.

And it is quite petty of you to question my allegience over a simple spelling error. I should have expected as much from a Spur(iou)s fan.

spelling error? nope... you spelt diop's name correctly but too bad you're just a bandwagon suns fan to realize diop isn't a sun.

[SAGambler]

The rules have been bent before to preserve fairnness, so why not now? Answer: Stern's bias.

99.9% of the world backs me up on the opinion that Phoenix was fucked, so no matter what happens, the Spurs "victories" will always have an asterisk, and Phoenix will forever be remembered as the true champion.

Well, now we are really getting stupid.
I doubt that 99% of the world even knows or cares anything about basketball, much less about whether the Phoenix Suns got screwed or not. Where in the hell do you come up with these off the wall and of the chart figures? Do you simply pull them out of your ass?

Hell, do a poll in China, Africa, or even Austrailia. See if 99% of the people in those places even know wtf a Phoenix Sun is. Or if they care.

Anyway this is beating a dead horse. If the Suns were in fact so goddamn good, they why in the hell was there ever a game 5 scheduled?

Face it....You lost, at full strength, on your own court in Game 1. You lost again at full strength in Game 3. And by all rights you should have lost Game 4, at full strength. Face it, the Spurs just gave you one there.

So what is it, in the entire scenario, that makes you even begin to think the Suns are a better team? Because your coach said so?

Hear hear!


It should actually read Here! Here! I have read alot of your posts on here and you seem to try to use alot of big words, but you mispell most of the little words. Plus not knowing that it is Diaw not Diop that plays for your supposed team is a fatal flaw in your trying to come across as a Suns fan.

I said this in another thread, but it bears repeating here:

If the Mavs were playing the Spurs right now, nobody but Suns fans would give two fucks about the Suspensions.

Suns fans are lucky there is nothing else to talk about except Spurs tickets not selling, and Cuban wanting Finley back.

Onto a much more important topic:

In that pic Mike really looks like he's shrieking.

:lmao @ the people who continue to insult the guy who started this thread and are unaware he is a Spurs fan in disguise.

Guys, you need to read the entire thread.

It should be on it's way to the classic forum any minute now.

:lmao Classic!

I meant, Diaw.

And it is quite petty of you to question my allegience over a simple spelling error. I should have expected as much from a Spur(iou)s fan.

Go Away and Stay Away Whining Sissy! :sleep

You have successfully assassinated basketball as we know it for a critical generation of sports fans.


I wonder what that means.

Thank you for the soiling the purity of a great game. Thank you for spoiling the one thing other than sex that I enjoy in life.


Methinks it's time for you to take up a new hobby, or take a trip or something.

It's easy to figure out: Tony Parker is a cross-promotion for Desperate Housewives, Sunday on ABC.

There is no hope for the NBA being a big TV draw on its own, since two Spurs titles have already sucked the life out of the league. So all they can hope for is a little advertising for shows people actually watch.

Great job, David Stern. You go to all that effort to encourage scoring and exciting play, but teach teams that when it comes down to crunch time, thugging it up wins games. :tu
