No-class, huh? Wouldn't that describe fans of a player who cheap shots an opposing player who has shown nothing but class?Quote:

I think they tried, hard, to justify suspending Duncan, as part of the make-up call, but they just couldn't do it. So they made Horry's suspension 2 games.
Yes, actually. Google "I will not be mishandled".Quote:

If they were looking for a make-up call, Horry would have gotten 3 or more games.

Don't blame Robert Horry for Amare and Diaw's stupidity.
By that line of argument, I guess we should applaud Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds. After all, they were just looking for any advantage they could find.Quote:

He hasn't played smart the whole series. As far as the flopping, both teams flop, the refs have lost control of the series, they have let too much crap go for too long on both sides.
Actually, when McGwire was juicing, there was no rule against it. And, while I do believe Bonds is or was juicing, there is no actual proof that he is.Quote:

If they had stayed put, the only argument would be whether Horry was punished too harshly which, in my opinion, he wasn't.
They're great. Next time we floor Nash, maybe the Suns will lose even more guys.
Nevertheless, the consensus is that their accomplishments are tainted.Quote:

I don't agree with the Horry suspension. Hard foul to Nash and Raja went after him. I'd throw that elbow at someone coming after me too. The rules say Diaw and Amare are out one game, I agree, but Raja should have gotten some kind of fine at least or one game suspension.
amare and diaw should not have been suspended .... horry got the right amount - 2 games ... one for the forearm / hip check and one for the forearm thrown at bell ..... this ruling rewards the team that committed the foul ..... you get 30 points sitting out for the suns vs. 7 for spurs ......unfair to say the least ... how would the spurs bench react if tony parker was thrown into the boards by a SUNS sub..... fair is fair .... if amare and diaw are to suspended (rule is rule argument) the horry should have gotten 3 games .....sucks ... such a great series reduced to this controversy ..... horry tainted -"cheap shot rob" ....
pop is off of this one too - calling Horry foul not too bad - please dont complain when pistons do the same to parker / ginobli .... you cant have it both ways .... sorry guys .. bad taste in mouth .....
Look up Derek Anderson and Juwan Howard.
I swear, most of you Suns fans are complete pussies.

Doesn't excuse Horry, but let's put it in perspective.
Wow, calling people "pussies" over the internet. A true sign of toughness.Quote:

But how can you be happy with Amare and Diaw being suspended for this? Wouldn't you rather beat the Suns at full strength?
