Then you take the game far too seriously. If all that matters is a championship and you don't care about how they get it, then I guess cheating, thugging and whatever else is good too. Nice standards :tdQuote:

The guy sweeping the court also should be suspended! :p:Quote:

hey big shot rob always comes through in the clutch...he didnt even make a 3 this time
He was concerned that Elson might be hurt? He was standing up as soon as Elson went up for the dunk and is taking a step towards the floor (its not a great angle but it looks like he was on the floor) right as the dunk happens, but before there is anyone underneath Elson. He was doing like all players do and cheering for a killer dunk. When he was up and taking his steps there wasn't any kind of contact for him to be concerned about, and in fact if you look closely, once he realized there might have been a question about the call he goes and sits down. There is no comparison to what Amare did. That being said, I hope they don't suspend Amare. I want to see them play a game.
between Elson and who? There's no one else there for the ref to get in between. You're either really reaching beyond the point of sanity or you're just trolling for fun.Quote:

With Ewing and Houston suspended for Game 6, Johnson and Starks suspended for Game 7, and Charlie Ward suspended for both, the Knicks lost the series.
If an "altercation" includes a player venting because he ended up on the floor then I'm done with today's NBA.
Could not a claim then be made that Amare and Diaw were heading to Nash to check and see if he was OK- as they never in any way enganged a Spurs player?
That would be a viable claim if Stoudemire wasn't pissed off rushing the scene being held back by his coaches.Quote:

I'm seriously thinking about chucking the NBA altogether due to all of this bullshit. It's a no integrity league that has turned into trash. Might as well show it right after General Hostipal.Quote:

I thought of that too, but Amare walked right past Nash. I'm not sure how anyone can make a case that he was doing anything but going toward the scrum.Quote:

Congratulations to the San Antonio Spurs on their fourth NBA championship in the Tim Duncan era.
And congrats, too, to the NBA and its idiotic, backward, zero-tolerance sentencing guidelines for making it possible.
Wow...Any advantage that you can come up with.
it is a crappy call to take Amare and Diaw out.
Send in the goon at the end of the game to clothesline the Sun's superstar in front of his bench and see how many of his teammates manage to stay in their seats with their arms folded.- Great Way to Win a Series.
