My Crazy Game 5 Idea.

Easy there. You wouldnt want to give the impression of a drama queen.

**

interesting idea but not worth the risk. it would be a psychological blow to beat the suns sans timmy, but we'd look pretty stupid if we ended up losing the series by not taking advantage of a situation that is in our favor.

Their small ballers would kick our small ballers azz, BIG TIME.

Better yet, start TD, but tell the Suns that TD will not use the bank shot all night.

I think it'd be the only way to untaint the series and the playoffs as a whole. And our integrity wouldn't be compromised.

Obviously you've not been a Spurs fan long enough to know about the "Bruise Brothers" nor about Detroit's rep when winning their first championships.

All history aside, I'll leave the flaming of you to others. You don't make moral stances in sports--to steal a phrase, "There's no crying in basketball."

Noble idea, but that would just be letting the Suns off the hook for Stoudemire and Diaw's stupidity. They knew the rule and still fucked up and fucked their team over. They deserve to sit.


Is it at the point now where we are blaming the league for expecting two ADULTS who are making millions of dollars to actually follow the rules of the game, rules that have been around long before either of them were in the league? It's not the league's fault and the league shouldn't look bad. Stoudemire and Diaw should be CHASTISED for being idiots.

Maybe we shouldn't keep score in game five and just call it a draw. That way no one gets their feelings hurt. And we could have a game 8......

this is beyond ridiculous. 2 dimwits that know the rules leave the bench and we want to reward that by sitting timmy...hell no. i hope we kick the shit out of them. this is the fucking playoffs...for all intents and purposes its a war. what general in their right mind would withhold troops because he has an advantage over the other side???

let's get back to thinking logically here.

Better yet... Start Vaughn, Ely, Butler, Red Rocket, and Barry.

In the first five minutes have each one start a fight with their man until all ten are ejected from the game...

Suns would then have to forfeit since they wouldn't have any players left to play.

Hell, no I don't "feel sorry" for the Suns.

Amare and Diaw know the rules.

They broke the rules.

Now they pay.

Tough shit!!!!!!!!!!

But at least give some props to Diaw for not trying to lie his way out of it.

Can't say the same for "Black Jesus"......

Those things matter too, at least they matter to me. I don't want them compromised in the name of winning games. Once we go down that slippery slope, we'll be right back to signing the Rodman's and Artests' of the world.

Have you not watched the whole series? Why do you focus on ten seconds of a single game. This series is a battle of many victories and defeats not one isolated incident. Both teams have been hosed and will probably get some more before its over. Its who is left standing after the last shot.

aaronstampler do you want to sit duncan so manu can score more?

Fuck Dennis Rodman.

No, the dumbest idea came from a Suns fan on our board saying they should just forfeit game 5 because if they don't and run themselves to death, they won't have anything left for a game 6 or 7. So forfeiting would help them win game 6 and 7. These 2 ideas rical each other in stupidity.

This would have been a great idea. See my posts on the "keys to game 5" thread for the same suggestion.

Unfortunately, the reaction of Spurs fans on this board says it all: "If we do that, we're afraid we'll lose the game." And that, my friends, is why any Spurs victory will be forever tainted.

there will be no taint if we win...if those dimwits stayed on the bench, it wouldn't have been and issue. no one from the spurs bench got up...

aah so because your superstar is a dumbass, we should purposely bench ours to make you people feel better about the fact you're going to lose either way? You are pathetic.

How about they just decide game 5 with a rock,paper,scissors tournament?

we would just need to sit Parker down. Horry is already sitting 2 games.

The only reason you are suggesting it in the first place is because you are afraid the Suns will lose the game.

To really level the playing field, we could sit Jacques Vaughn.

So if the Spurs win the game, its not ethical and whatever?

Christ go away.
