Amare sticks to his guns: Spurs dirty, Suns should be in finals

[Useruser666]

Geez I had to log in on for this topic.

Why are people still comparing the Nash/Horry incident with Duncan and Bowen being on the court earlier in the game? They are NOT the same thing!!! Duncan was already standing as Elson dunked the ball, not after Elson and the Sun's player made contact. Duncan was cheering on Elson's play, not rushing in after an altercation. There is a BIG difference between the two. If people are going to trumpet their comparisons over and over again, they should at least watch a replay first.

Sure the Suns could have used all their players in game five. But it is their players' own fault. If they followed the rules they could have faced the Spurs without Horry for the rest of the series.

I disagree. I think if someone from the Suns had cheap-shotted Tony Parker in front of the Spurs bench then Duncan would have been on the floor. , he went on the floor during the potential or non-altercation earlier in the game (Bowen had to pull him back), so obviously he would have done it during the real deal and especially for a top player. It's just a natural human reaction. The point of the rule is to prevent fights, so it succeeded; flexibility should be applied to its enforcement, as it was with Duncan, taking into account whether the player actually joined the altercation or caught himself after the initial, instinctual response. These aren't robots they're human beings.

There was no altercation when Duncan went out there.

Please rewrite the rule in a way that will allow a player to run 20 feet away from the bench onto the court and try not to look foolish.

They are pussies, just like the Suns players.

Figured as much. Probably why they ban everybody on their garbage Arizona fans site.

I love it, 1 damn game cost them the series!!Maybe he should have played better in the other 3 spurs victories!!

Just let it go...

I didn’t play last year and I forgot about the rule

[ducks]

If Amare Was Not Stoned Half The Time He Would Have Not Forgotten The Rule
He Was Reminded Of The Rule The First Time Suns Had Practiced

[ducks]

Strach That 3/4 Of The Time Amare Is Stoned

[PM5K]

The only thing clear out of all this is that Amare Stoudemire doesn't have the mental toughness to be a champion.

So, he's in the right city.

I agree..

Oh, for the love of God...as much as the word is bandied around here (both Spurs and non-Spurs fans), spell it correctly.

For all of the complaining about the rule and its absolutist penalties, the NBA owners did exactly what Sarver had asked that they do: they took a look at the rule. Unfortunately for Sarver, the Suns, and apoplectic Suns apologists, the rule remains in place -- the owners voted to keep the rule in place as is, meaning that there still is no room for subjective determinations of player intent.

Next year, Amare and Diaw would be suspended for exactly the same thing -- that's the way the NBA owners want it.

Dim witted Amare. Did you expect anything else from him?

If this was the Suns forum the topic would probably be closed after a minute and the topic creator would most likely be "banned for life". Suns fans would then commence in their nightly circle jerk after all "intruders" are banned. Must suck living in communist/racist Arizona. At least free speech is advocated over here at Spurstalk.

I thought the spurs beat them at full strength as well!!!!! game 1 game 6

And game 3.

Judge to rule Monday on teen imprisoned for consensual sex

Wilson says he regrets some of the things he did at a raunchy New Year's Even party in 2003 that put him in the national spotlight.

But he argues his 10-year prison sentence was too harsh for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17.

"Some of the decisions I made were not some of the best ones," Wilson said in an interview this week at the Burruss Correctional Training Center, where he is being held with no chance of parole.

"Just being a teenager, you know, you got to make a lot of mistakes, but you have to learn from them. I don't feel like one mistake should cost me ten years in prison and a lifetime on the sex offender registry. I want to be able to go to school and have kids."

Wilson was originally charged with raping a 17-year-old at the party, but was acquitted. He was ultimately found guilty of aggravated child molestation involving the 15-year-old girl. Four other male youths at the party pleaded guilty to child molestation of the 15-year-old and sexual battery of the 17-year-old. A fifth pleaded guilty to false imprisonment. Their party was captured on a profanity-laden and sexually graphic video filmed by one of the five.

I'm surprised you guys are arguing this. I would have thought you'd have liked to beat the Suns full strength rather than have an asterix next to your le.

Typical comment coming from a bitter Celtic's fan! Full strength? The Spurs beat the Suns 3 times with Amare and Boris and once without! The Spurs beat the Suns once while not at full strenght while Horry had to sit out 2 games! You're just mad cause your lowly Celtic's won't be picking at #1..........AGAIN ! ! ! ! !

And as wrong as I believe the facts in this case are, the legislature changed the law and the courts have ruled it can't be applied retroactively.

Take a minute, is this really the real world event you'd like to be the crux of your dated argument?

Uh, we aren't the ones bringing it up. Tell your fellow Suns fans to quit bringing it up and we won't repeat the same all the time.
