I understand all of your listed points, as they are all basically saying the same thing, so allow me to be redundant as well.

Horry was rewarded for a cheap shot. He got the desired reaction from the Suns with the desired result. The letter of the law worked in the Spurs favor, allowing them to advance past a team that they would not have otherwise beaten. It is poorly constructed rule that should be revisited. No where has anyone, at any time suggested that the Suns are special when rules are concerned, just that the Spurs were rewarded for playing dirty.

I conceded in my previous post that the two young men for the Suns should have stayed on the bench, and I am very aware of the letter of the rule.

This result is not dissimilar to the civil case that rewarded a judgment to the thief that twisted his ankle on an old lady's roof while trying to rob her house. ..letter of the law.

I don't see how you can reconstruct that rule. I'd like to hear the suggestion. The SPURS did not play dirty. It was ONE PLAYER who did, and he got suspended. That ONE player got punished. He got suspended.

Two other guys, who know the league rules, came off the bench.

No special treatment.

And I think TonyParkerSucks is still mad over us ending the Lakers' 3-year run and last chance to win a championship.

Hopefully I do not draw the wrath of either one of you two bball gurus by adding my two cents here.

TonyParkerSux: there is no way that last season's Suns were going to beat the Spurs with or without their full squad. Spurs have proven time and time again that they own the Suns. Same thing every time they play...Amare gets his points, Spurs win the game. Also, saying that the Mavs best chance for a ring was in 2003 does not even make sense. They were one game and a few bad calls away from winning the whole thing against Miami. How does being eliminated in the WCF in six games qualify as being a better shot at the le?!

Findog: I am a Mavs fan as well and I like Dirk, but he is absolutely not a top 5 player in the NBA. He is maybe not even a top 5 PF. I would put, Amare, Garnett, DHoward, and Duncan all ahead of Dirk at the 4 spot with Boozer being pretty close also. More realistically, I would say that Dirk is in the top 20 in the NBA.

Wow. I really don't have anything to say to that. I never said Dirk was a flawless player, but I couldn't disagree more. If top-five is debatable, then he is for sure top 10.

If one puts on a GM cap and takes age and salary into the equation, then there's all sorts of players you'd take over Dirk, such as Greg Oden, Chris Bosh, etc. But there's a very, very, very short list of guys better than him.

I'm not a big fan of Tom Ziller but he gets it right here. This team and Dirk in particular are suffering from an overreaction from the Warrior series. Hopefully they can use the slights and disrespect as fuel for the upcoming season.

I wasn't originally looking forward to the Dallas/SA games this season, but since Jerry Stackhouse wants to talk like he has some superior authority over the Spurs, I can't wait for the Spurs to sweep Dallas in the regular season. Hopefully no hand from the referees will be lent to the Mavs, such as in the following situations:

Game 3, 2006: Spurs held a 99-98 lead with 1:05 to go in the game. Dirk steps on Duncan's foot and sprains his ankle. Duncan didn't foul. But they call a foul anyway and foul Duncan out, handing Nowitzki two free points.
Game 7, 2006: Duncan's put-back attempt at the end of regulation should have been a foul called on Dallas. No foul called. Goes into OT and Dallas runs away with a fake win.
November 24, 2006: Dallas leads by three, Finley attempts a game-tying three as time expires, is fouled by Nowitzki, but to everyone's surprise, no foul is called.
April 15, 2007: Joey Crawford.

So with those fake wins, Stackhouse thinks he has some superior authority over the Spurs. Hey Jerry, the Spurs showed up to the Western Conf. Finals, where were you, ?

I hope the Josh Daniels Band doesn't get screwed over by biased reviews in Rolling Stone and Magnet. Nobody can accuse Jeff of being a fake drummer. He showed up to Buffalo Wild Wings for the latest gig, what about the rest of you lazy es? I'm looking in your direction Josh.

If only Detroit didn't let LeBron get confident at the end of Game 5, we would have had a grind-out NBA Finals with the Spurs and Pistons, much more entertaining then glorified high school baller LeBron James.

It was more of what Detroit didn't do, rather than what Cleveland did do, that took Cleveland to the Finals.

I'm not the jeffdrums from Josh Daniels Band. For that to be true I'd have to be 6'4" and married.

You can pin that one on Flip Saunders. Not only he refused to double up on Lebron James until the last game of the series, but once he did, he didn't think that running to an open Boobie in the corner was a good idea.
Watching that series just reinforced my opinion that Flip is truly a terrible coach. He only worries about the offense, and thinks the defense will take care of itself. It's a shame too, since the Pistons were a terrific defensive team since the Larry Brown era.

Do you recall the end of game 5, or 6, when Tony Parker grabbed Dirk's jersey on his putback? If they called a foul on that, Dirk gets the points, and the series is over. Now go sniff Francisco Elsons ass crack.

I just saw the video and Tony is a couple of feet away from Dirk as Dirk is attempting the put back. Nice try though.

Post the video if you saw it. Nice try though.

P.S. I really don't get why you will deny your existence in the Josh Daniels Band....SpursTalk is one of the most heavily trafficked sports boards in the world, you could get some big time publicity from this. Buffalo Wild Wings could really be rockin' some balls if you'd promote yourselves a little more.
