Why do some people react as if this has never happened before?

Duncan was stupid for being on the court





He could have got a T

Possibly so, but it's been a good rule for ten years, and there's never been more of a storm than when it applies to the one team that thinks the rules shouldn't apply to them and that nobody should be allowed to defend them or compete fairly.

The spirit of the rule is to prevent an altercation to escalate. Maybe if they just bend the rule a little to let the players stay within a certain defined distance from the bench without interfiering in the fight?? It is impossible to react without thinking, this could give little time for players to react and retract from their reaction. Obviously if they get to where the altercation is happening, that is another story.

Nobody should have reacted. The coaching staff should have stopped them. The entire league knows this. Your team ED UP. Get over it. If you want the rules bent for you, you aren't going to find any sympathy in Spurs fans, especially after all the lobbying done by the Suns to get preferential calls and to get Bowen suspended for his super dragon crane style sumo sweeping honshu kick to the side of Steve Nash's face.

Suns fans need to blame their dumb behind players. People fall hard all the time and you don't see people running up from the bench. In my opinion the Baron Davis shot to Derek Fisher was worse and you didn't see the Utah bench jump up. If I'm not mistaken the majority of the Phoenix bench didn't leave the bench except for extra sensitive Amare. Amare needs to stop crying like a little b*tch about how dirty the Spurs are and start using that body of his and start dishing out pain as well.

Jason Terry threw Baron Davis down right in front of the bench and nobody reacted, even when Baron acted like he'd just been trampled by a herd of horses. Some teams are just smarter than others.

I am not looking for sympathy from anyone. I am trying to talk basketball. In last year's playoffs your spurs team got hit by a bad rule from the NBA. The spurs and mavs deserved the 1st and 2nd seeding. That ruled had been in effect for several seasons, does that means it's a good rule??. They revued the rule and made a correct adjustment. I am expecting at least a revue of this rule.

I know both players ed up. You don't have to be a genious to know that.

Exactly. I didn't care before who won this series before, but after the media has all but martryed Amare and the Suns, and the Suns acting like a bunch of crybabies, I am hoping they lose. My goodness, is this what basketball is coming to, a bunch of crybaby sissies?

The seeding rule had not been in effect for very long, realignment took place in 2005 so it was the second season. Big in' difference. Besides, it isn't the reason the Spurs lost anyway.

Becasue there stupid
