Hilarious!
So we are the dirty, cheap, thugs, and pussies. But after the nash flop, you wanted horry to get pounded into the ground? That's not basketball, and frankly, none of the suns success can be attributed to basketball, its all from extreme flopping and whining to the refs.
I don't know if you watched game 4 or not, but I have never seen a team get more cheap, pussy calls as the suns did, it was painfully obvious that the refs were responding favorably to all the suns complaining. and the suns took advantage, falling down as much as possible, and lurching at the hoop for calls.
meanwhile the spurs continued to play actual basketball, at least until the 12-1 run, even Horry's foul at the end was just a hard BASKETBALL foul, he got in nash's way, and stood strong, and nash went down like he'd been hit by an airplane, it topped anything I've seen from Ginobili or Divac or anyone. and that was a microcosm of suns basketball, they can't man up, so they go down hard, make a big fuss, put on a big show.
no, suns fan, it is the suns who are the pussies, the spurs are just playing playoff basketball. and if you happen to get past the Spurs, it is only going to get worse for you, Utah and Detroit are just as physical, if not more.
Hilarious!
I'd be afraid to drive the lane if I'm Tony Parker and Pat Burke is in there. You just might see what a hard foul looks like (better not call it "dirty" buddy!)
burke will administer a hard foul to the space that tp just left.
Formula:
1. Tell the media that the opposing team is dirty to get more calls, regardless of whether there's any evidence of that. This is the first step in creating all the evidence you'll ever need.
2. Complain when the refs call fouls on you, or when they don't call enough on the other team.
i. Continue to push your advantage, no matter how much it grows
3. Throw your hands up in a demonstrative way at every whistle or perceived non-call, making a "see-I-told-you-this-would-happen" face for the cameras.
4. When there is any bleeding at any point in any game, point to that as evidence of your original premise, even if the contact was initiated by your own player. Make sure to point out that it was the only reason you lost the game, even if they allow your player on the floor to score five points while blood pours from his face.
5. When any body contact takes place that can be construed to be inappropriate, even when initiated by your own player, make sure the player knows to fall to the floor and roll into a fetal position, stand up and make the "I-told-you" face. Send a tape to the league and begin the media campaign to have that player suspended. It helps to complain publicly about all contact prior to this so that you can site your own previous allegations as evidence. Nobody will notice.
6. If, praise Jesus, a hard foul actually take place, make sure to have your entire team, coaches and players, suddenly react as if it was completely unexpected, and be sure to attack said player like soccer fans. If your players are disciplined by the league, refer to the "He started it" defense.
7. Make sure to inflame your fanbase as much as possible. Bomb threats, thrown objects, arson and food poisoning can be used in your favor with no legal repercussions.
i. If possible, set up interviews with your players where they take the high road and proclaim bewilderment at how this situation could have arisen. This plays up the martyr angle and really lathers up the fan base.
8. If it looks like you are going to lose, make sure to take someone out. It's perfectly justified. You've got a laundry list of previous accusations. That's evidence, baby!
9. If nothing else, you now have an excuse to lose and the whole world will hate your opponent as they advance as far as they can. If anyone still interviews you, blame the war in Iraq.
Pat Burke?
The dude who makes Jack Haley look like an all world player?
Frightening....
Flop that !!! And stay the down !

Are you forgetting Denver ? That was a physical series. No one complained then either. The Suns need to adjust and deal with it, not us.
You'd be afraid to drive the lane because you are a sniveling pussy. How many Jazz players have spent this much time crying over a flagrant foul? They've received about three times as many in two games.
Nash is his boy and he was pretty upset to see Horry take him down like that. Don't underestimate the value of an angry Irish-born player getting his first time in this series.
'all darkies and irishmen are violent.' just go.
Awwww. Snuggles wantsum wevenge. How Shweeeet.
The suns made more FT's than the Spurs attempted and they keep ing about what's fair. What a joke.
In one game... Spurs made more than Suns attempted in Game 3... does that even it out?
Jazz don't ever stop being physical or delivering hard fouls anyways. I think the Jazz would be angrier if AK and Boozer were suspended while the series was tied.
that's what I said? I mentioned "Darkies"?
The Irish don't have a reputation for getting drunk and fighting? That's news to me.
I guess all those people who call the Spurs "dirty" are just stereotyping.
Burke is the only Irish-born player in the NBA. And he has a mean streak.
Are FTA supposed to always even out?
not surprising that was lost on you.
Did he put a bandage on his nose, and write 13 on his shoes in memory?Nash is his boy and he was pretty upset to see Horry take him down like that. Don't underestimate the value of an angry Irish-born player getting his first time in this series.
The Jazz aren't the ones delivering hard fouls, they are getting way more than the Suns have seen all year and they aren't screeching like teenage girls about it.
No, they aren't... it depends on the factors of the game: How aggressive one team is, who is officiating, changes in the offense/defense, subs utions, etc.
That's why I don't get what your boy was trying to say by claiming the Suns made more FT in Game 4 than the Spurs attempted. Does this mean that obviously the Suns are getting preferential treatment? It was ok that the Spurs made more than the Suns attempted in Game 3 because the Spurs received that benefit, I guess.
I was just calling him out for using a selective statistic and somehow relating it to the suspensions.
Nash is dead? Wow. Okay, Now I understand why the Suns want revenge. If only the Spurs knew what it was like to have their second leading scorer taken out of the series on a hard foul like that, they'd know why they have to get revenge and try to injure someone back.
NASH RIP. YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
Are you kidding? They deliver subtle, yet hard fouls all game. Just because they aren't cheap or dirty, doesn't mean they are hard.
And Suns/their fans are going to be more on edge because they feel slighted by these suspensions... that's just the nature of where the series has progressed.
Spurs fans in general did not stop btiching about the officiating in Game 4 on this board, but that doesn't make them whiners?
