"this did not warrant a suspension."
NBA rules is rules. Any hit above the shoulders ...
Another thing I haven't seen mentioned: Just because Manu doesn't react doesn't mean he isn't pissed off, and it doesnt' mean that the team should fail to go to his defense. When you have a player that puts himself out there like Manu does, you ing well better back him up.
Well hopefully we make them pay for this by going up 3-0 tonight.
I think it was a quick cheap shot that no one really saw until they showed the replay. As soon as his fist strikes in the replay you can hear Doug Collins go "oooh!"
I'm glad he wasn't suspended. Barbosa is a real key to the Spurs' success.
The league called and said Bruce gets one free swing in tonight.
Wow I just watched that video. There's your in dirty plays, Suns fans. Funny thing is it's the purple and orange, not the silver and black.
If Leandro ING Barbosa. Dude wouldnt even purposely hurt a fly. Same kid that cried when Marbury got traded and cried when someone pulled a prank on him saying he got traded to the Knicks. People are REACHING big time here. Keep bringing up Bowen when Bowen has a HISTORY of like this. Barbosa has a history of doing nothing.
I love how people talk about they just want a fair series with no injuries and suspensions and then when push comes to shove, everyone is crying about petty .
BTW I say Barbosa scores over 16 tonight. Anyone disagree want to do a avatar bet until the series is over?
Spurs officials contacted the league to complain about Barbosa hitting Ginobili in the face with an open hand, then slamming his head on the court
------
Another battery on Manu during playoffs.
This is worse that Horry's hip-check against the 2-time MVP Steve Nash so there was really no commotion and highlights about this after the game. I don't expect a suspension on this.
Yo, dumbass!!! Barbosa HAS a reputation for dirty now. Welcome to the world of innuendo. Bowen got a reputation from situations that were no more clear-cut than what Barbosa did.
Keep bringing up Bowen when Bowen has a HISTORY of like this. Barbosa has a history of doing nothing.
And just because Barbosa is a crybaby, it doesn't mean that he doesn't also take cheap shots.
It's a Brazil-Argentina thing
That's why it's very important to have him play game 3.
Kicking people in the face = To what Barbosa just did?
Come onnn now.
Anyways gl tonight. Heres to a hard fought game with no injuries/ejections.
One thing I like about Spurs fans, they don't moan and cry about Suns players being "dirty." We need to be like the Spurs themselves. If opponents are resorting to slaps, that means we're making them our es. The Spurs don't lose their composure, because they know that composure is just as much a part of their championship runs as anything. Even during all those even years between championships, the Spurs took their losses and their exits from the playoffs like real men, giving all the credit to their their opponents, and then came back the next year (three times!) and mowed down the teams getting in their way.
That's the "Spurs Way!"
F- Leandro Barbosa, that was some thuggish . I hope his unclutch ass gets two games for that dirty shot. And fat ass Shaq freakin' strangling Ginobili...
You forgot this
Good! There's nothing funner than seeing Suns fan tormented.
I don't know what to think of the Spurs organization crying about this. It honestly makes me nauseous.
