No asterisk on this series

Every team has 12 suited up players. If your coach doesn't want to or have enough confidence to play them, then that's his problem. The Spurs played Bonner for a few minutes. I'm sure if the Spurs had another player unable to play, Pop would've gone deeper into his bench.

My whole point is that these suspensions severly handicapped Phoenix in this series.

So the fuck what? Does a moral victory make you happy? Does trying to diminish the victory somehow make it hurt less? Why do you even bother if you can't just say it was an exciting game and your team gave it your all? Seriously, you fucking douchebags have been bellyaching about the suspensions for two straight days. It's not like anyone needs to be reminded. The Spurs played without the biggest playoff performer in recent NBA history, and did it without a complaint. You guys have yet to give it a fucking rest. Now would be a good time to start.

And if say Ginobli and Bowen were suspended, it would probably seriously effect the way that San Antonio played. Phoenix does not have a deep bench.

And honestly, are you guys really saying that these suspensions didn't seriously effect Phoenix's chances of winning this game?

Damn yo, tell me how you really feel.

It was an exciting game and my team gave it our all. And we were tired and didn't win. And the reason that we were tired is because two of our players were suspended.

The original poster brought up a point that the suspensions didn't matter in this game. I disagreed. This shit ain't rocket science.

this series is a freakin joke......the league is obviously favoring san antonio because Duncan shoulda been suspended for leaving the bench in the 2nd quarter of game 4. it's like the jordan rules of the old bulls days, Stoudamire doesnt have as much seniority as Duncan so the commissioner decides i'll make an impact on the series by suspending Stoudamire. Thats absolute horseshit. I'm an NBA fan, i am the beerman at cubs/sox(well not anymore cause they are assholes) and used to be the beerman at Bears games. it's a freakin joke when the commissioner attempts to alter a series. Phoenix would have killed tonight with Stoudamire......the NBA playoffs is a freakin' joke. When you have 2 heavyweights in a fight, you let them fight full strength. I enjoy watching good basketball, but i dont enjoy watching basketball when it's not a team's best 5 against another team's best 5. How about you suspend Baron Davis for his cheapshot Robert Horry Like elbow in game 4 of that series. The NBA doesnt rule fairly and shouldnt suspend players in the most important series over bullshit made up rules. I just joined this stupid forum tonight to voice my frustration. The NBA is bullshit and the Spurs are obviously the team the NBA favors and thinks will get the highest rating in the finals. I want to burn my David Robinson rookie card after how b.s. i think this league is. Pathetic! Absolutely pathetic!!!!

Who cares? The Suns don't get a mulligan for having their players suspended. This game counts exactly the same number of losses as game 1.

At least if Ginobili and Bowen were suspended, I guarantee you we wouldn't play Duncan/Barry/Finley/Paker/Oberto for 45+ minutes. Hence the problem. D'Antoni has been in love with his amazing 7 man rotation all season long and it came and bit him in the rear.

So I guess there will be an * on this series in the minds of the internets warriors. Oh well.

Just have a T shirt printed up that says "NBA champions if there were no stupid rules that we had to follow". Nobody here has a lick of pity for you.

Now go home and get your fuckin' shine box.

Apparently the starter of this thread cares. Perhaps you should take it out on him.

When did I say we should get a mulligan? Do you even read the post, or do you just spout off one ill conceived argument and then proceed to make sweeping generalizations that have fuck all to do with anything that I'm saying?

Actually Duncan played 41 minutes tonight, if another post was accurate. So my guess - based upon reality - is that yes, you probably would.

Amare is a horrible defender, and has been in foul trouble the past 2 games. His absence was perhaps helpful to the suns last night, but who knows.

It is just the same warmed-over crap that is being served here daily. Really tiresome, IMO. Suns lost, no excuses. But what do I know, I am just a whiner.

Heh, I seriously doubt it. I don't even remember the last time Pop played Duncan serious minutes, he treats him like he's so fragile. Parker isn't even capable of playing heavy and Oberto would be in foul trouble.

Pop has used a deep rotation all year, he isn't going to play the starters 90% of the game.

Amen brother! :clap That's what I've been saying and these Spurs jokers come back with "Suns fans are whiners". I swear the NBA = Nazi Basketball Association. Look, they even gave the MVP to a German this year. How fitting! :tu
