Amare and Boris Suspended 1 Game - Horry 2 Games

[UV Ray]

NOBODY LIKES YOU! Amare Stoudemire would spit in your face because you would get in the way of him getting tail at a ing night club with your "I think it was undeserved that you got that suspension, Amare! I even went on Spurs chat boards and told them what was up!!"

Yo momma.

The Spurs are the golden child on the NBA. The league office never does them bad.

Three Players Suspended Following Spurs-Suns Incident
Posted May 15 2007 7:02PM

NEW YORK, May 15 -- Robert Horry of the San Antonio Spurs has been suspended two games without pay and Amaré Stoudemire and Boris Diaw of the Phoenix Suns have each been suspended one game without pay for their actions in last night's game, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

Horry has been suspended for flagrantly fouling Phoenix’s Steve Nash and striking Raja Bell above the shoulders with a forearm. Stoudemire and Diaw have been suspended for leaving “the immediate vicinity of their bench” during an altercation. The incident occurred with :18 remaining in the fourth period of the Suns' 104-98 win over the Spurs last night at AT&T Center.

Horry will serve his suspension sitting out Games 5 and 6 of the Spurs-Suns Western Conference Semifinal series, while Stoudemire and Diaw will miss Game 5 tomorrow night at US Airways Center in Phoenix.

I'm disappointed in the way things turned out....this sucks. It was a very good compe ive series and now there is going to be disadvantages. However, the Suns players broke the rule. After all of the Suns fans calling Spurs players dirty, whose players were the first players off the bench ready to fight? The Suns players. STFU and blame your idiot center for not being mature enough. He commits stupid fouls and has a hot head and doesn't know how to handle situations. Part of being a championship squad is knowing how to act and being poised; the Suns clearly have not showed that capablitiy this entire series, especially in the closing moments of Game 4. They have ed so ing much it's like watching a soap opera; they get frustrated and start to act like little babies when something doesn't go their way. They need to work on that if they ever want to win a championship. As for Horry-his foul was a hard one and I don't really have a problem with it but it was wrong and immature for him to do. A player with that much experience should know better. I still love Horry and respect him but that was crossing the line. So far, neither team has shown me that they are better than the other. If the Spurs win tomorrow night, there will be no asterisk. If the Suns win tomorrow night, Spurs fans have no right to play the "what if" game. If a team is meant to win a championship, it will overcome all odds possible. So let's play the damn game and quit saying Stern fixed the series. I'm so sick of this ing drama the Spurs and even more so the Suns have caused. It's annoying as . Stern didn't want to suspend Amare and Diaw, but its the rules. He can't make exceptions. Nash shouldn't have overreacted like he did. The Suns players shouldn't have gone on the court. Horry should have just fouled him normally.

And to the Suns fans on this board:
Quit being snobby es about everything. Apparently your team isn't so poised so don't blame Stern nor the refs. Blame your players' immaturity.

Spurs haven't won a game by double digits over a good team in the playoffs the last 2 years (ie, Dallas and Phoenix).

Well, then they are due, yes?

[LavaLamp]

Duncan will get 50 points tomorrow.

Or maybe there will be some "active" balancing by the refs... calling ticky-tac fouls on Duncan. Do you think Stern has the power to "instruct" the refs to tilt a game a certain way?

That's because the Spurs keep Momma's pockets lined with great ratings, exciting basketball, and huge merchandise revenues.

Makes sense being that the Spurs are the hottest ticket according to the television ratings.

[The Great Fantastic]

I still wish Horry wouldn't have done that .

According to the Suns fans, he does it to the Suns in every game they lose.

"Get more physical. Get more physical" is all they heard for a week. They get more physical and are paying the price.

[Obstructed_View]

I still wish Horry wouldn't have done that .

I wish the officiating crew had called the touch foul on Finley instead of daring the Spurs to have to foul hard enough for it to be called.

Getting off the bench and running onto the court is physical? I'm not sure that's what anyone meant.

Or if Manu had made the layup . . .

[Jimcs50]

I think is keeping in the spirit of fairness, Pop should sit TD out for game 5. This would show Phoenix that we can beat them without our best player.

Good idea, I think....nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

[The Great Fantastic]

Nobody Talk About My Momma!!! Where Do You Live? I'm Going To Fight You!!! Seriously, I Want To Fight You For What You Said On This Internet Chat Forum.

[mardigan]

Or if Manu had made the layup . . .

Or if Finley had hit that wide ass open 3 at the end

[Scumbag]

I wish the officiating crew had called the touch foul on Finley instead of daring the Spurs to have to foul hard enough for it to be called.

You are right... its the ref's fault. Suspend them!

[The Great Fantastic]

That was suppost to be in all caps. dang it, it's just not as intimidating without all caps.

[Jimcs50]

I wish the officiating crew had called the touch foul on Finley instead of daring the Spurs to have to foul hard enough for it to be called.

I wish that Horry would have gotten to that spot a half second earlier, drew the charge, then hit a 3 to tie the game......

[UV Ray]

UV Ray, its high time to give it a rest. Go get in a good workout, have a tail, find a shower rod. Just settle down. You've made your point, no need to keep taking the bait.

Bait? So that's what the smell was. For a minute I thought it was......






TAINTED VICTORY.

[popshark86]

Punk ass pussy.
And then you'll when people say the series was handed to you.

ing idiot

its not our fault that amare is dumb and can't follow rules

[lefty]

NONE of that would have occured

..if Amare hadn't opened his big mouth.

Calling the whole Spurs team dirty was a huge mistake. He should have just called Bowen a dirty player, like Ray Allen or VC did, but calling the Spurs a dirty team when in fact it's not true, and during the playoffs, that was insulting, and resulted in bad blood.

Way to go Amare.

[Jimcs50]

ing idiot

its not our fault that amare is dumb and can't follow rules

The guy is a dumbass, if not for a basketball talent, he would be in jail...so having to sit out a game is not too bad....in the grand scheme of things, I'd say.

[SPURSCHAMPS]

The NBA just handed the series to the Spurs. No doubt. We got the best end of the stick. Horry causes all of this crap and we get the best end of the deal. WOW.

How do you know for sure that we got the best deal of the stick? It's not like the suns will fold now that two of their best players are sitting out for one game.I hate this arrogance circulating in this forum nowadays.But be careful for what you ask for. In the end it will come back to bite you.
