Suns reserve shares his thoughts throughout the NBA playoffs
May 16, 2:26 p.m.
On the suspensions: "I found out yesterday. I had the television on and I saw the suspension went through. It's funny, I kept it quiet (Tuesday,) but I thought all along that they were going to get suspended. We have an NBA meeting at the beginning of every year, and they tell us about the rules and the rule changes. And that's one of the biggest rules. It's cut and dry. You step over that line during an altercation and you're out.''
So why is it that the rest of the vets do not grab their young stars? Or that 6 assistant coaches or a trainer, assistant trainer, equipment manager stop those 2 players from breaking that "cut and dry" rule?
