he actually did hit wright in the face, but it was only with like 2 or 3 fingers. i doubt he gets suspended though. if he does, cool. if he doesnt, no big deal. i dont really care a whole lot either way.

No way, I would think the league is nuts wright had his arm locked and neither player was backing down.
May not matter becuz series is essentially over BUT ...he should be suspended. The 2nd camera angle TNT showed ...it was a "swing" it was more a slap swinf than a punch ...but he swung with intent to hit.
The thing that got me is they made a HUGE deal of whether Kobe, Artest or Rondo should be suspended and NO ONE made a big deal of this on TNT or BSPN ...
I know Melo is a superstar and know the sentiment of Van Gundy, Charles etc. i sthe league is suspension happy but if you watch teh various camera shots he DESERVES it ...but we will see ...
keep on dreaming, denver is going to have at least one more game's rest than LA.
Melo and Wright both should get suspended for the rest 3 games of this series.
Wright didn't try to slap or punch Melo's face. Melo did. Worth a 1 game suspension imo but there won't be a suspension.
paul's 931 dont presume to know why I post ..unlike many I could care less about what this means for my "team" ...fair is fair. I was an administrative justice major in college and I just want to see things ruled fairly.
For example I think Stern though he interpreted the rules stirctly he had in place unfairly punished the Suns for what horry did to nash. Im not presuming the Suns would of won series anyway ...because Spurs are extremely clutch ...BUT it was not fair ...even in the law there is judicial review Stern chose to not to exercise it.
Melo swung at wright plain and simple i could care less about rest for the Lakers in fact ...rest cost us Game 1 vs the Rox and to be honest we have bigger problems ...so shut your pie hole and enjoy the early off season for your team ..losers!!! LMAO 14 rings byatch!! JK
But seriously why would you assume i want rest by my statement?
I just responded to a post froma Mavs fan and you have 2 admit Mavs have gotten screwed by refs just like the suns by Stern and I am far from a Mavs fan just want what is fair. i would prefer yao was healthy this series i do not wish to win "cheap" if we can find a way to win a le i would prefer no excuses for anyone's fan base ..so hope KG comes back as well
if you punch yourself in the face, can you get suspended?
Suns broke the rules, I reluctantly accept it, step off bench, you're gone. If stern back off on that one everyone from the past would about the times they had players ejected for leaving the bench.
This time the league is exercising some common sense, wright knows that sacrificing himself to take out melo would give his team a huge advantage. Go back and watch karl malone, if the league called every swung elbow/hand that made contact he would have only played 13 games a season. It's clear that the mavericks are trying to play physical, so let them play.
Well the league does owe AWright one with the botched "non-call".
Dirk should be suspended for throwing something with force into the crowd.![]()
The Mavs already redeemed that gift certificate - it was the phantom call on Dirk last night.
yeah, that's what I was going to say. Hey how about the NBA suspendeds both Melo and Dirk that would be great to see![]()
they did that last night buddy boy![]()
no hija, suspender Melo y Antonie Wright.
Dirk threw something that was on the court, it could have hit a fan he should be suspended as well,
but no need to worry no one is getting suspended![]()
If Carmelo is suspended, then so is Josh Howard for making contact to the head during a flagrant foul, as is Dirk for throwing an object into the stands. Too bad Mavfan constantly needs someone else's help in order for his team to win a playoff game.
Dirk threw it to the sidelines, not in the stands. It was something a fan threw on the court, so Dirk cleared it off.
wait a minute... are we talking about the same play where wright acted a and totally tried to sell that elbow in the face? that was some pussy that i have ever seen before. that whole dallas squad are wannabe actors.
what pisses me off the most is dirks push off's and pops where he ends up drawing a foul but still draining 2. he initiates the contact 100% and yet the opponent always gets stiffed by the refs.
i don't know if the refs are just dumb or what but you can totally see past the bad acting, or good acting because the refs buy it, by the mavs.

seriously, has anybody ever whined & cried over a game his team wasn't involved in more than OV is whining & crying about last night's Mavs victory? It's like he just learned last night that the refs are terrible.
So you are saying that the refs tell the "acting" goodbye then? I'm confused.
Yeah, look at all the threads I've been starting. Wow, what a shame that someone would all over this forum. It's almost as though I'm posting the same thing over and over and over, like a video or something.
