Posey's action was less than Crackhouse's. Posey's was excessive and dangerous. Crack's was excessive, dangerous plus a blow with a forearm to the head.
In the play of basketball though, it was dangerous. It was a breakaway foul that could have sent Kurt into the stantion with an injury. This flagrant foul was set up after Dennis Rodman almost clotheslined Scottie Pippen.
What makes Stack's worse is the fact that he was not playing the ball and he went up towards the shoulders and head area. Definite no-no.
I'm not defending Posey". When it happened I figured it was wiorth a suspenison. When Crackenhouse nailed Shaq I was amazed he wasn't getting tossed immediately.
Tell your players to quit being such punk ass es, and the league office won't have to step in.i think people who are interested basketball observors would like to see the players decide the series and not have one team handicapped by league front office judgement calls. im one of them. Like most people, I'd like league interference in this scene to be as minimal as possible.
And Stackhouse DID decide the game(s)... when he made that move he was actively choosing to put his participation for game 5 on the line.
No, I favor the suspension because based on James Posey doing the exact same thing to Hinrich and getting the exact same one game suspension, it was nice to see some consistency from the officials on *something* for once.on the other hand, spurs partisans will be likely to favor the suspension because they will naturally carry bitterness towards the team that eliminated them from the playoffs.
It's not our fault Stack is a dumbass. Nor is it our fault Terry was against the Spurs, or Thomas against the Suns. If your players stopped being such punk ass es, they wouldn't be getting suspended
When Jason Terry punches Michael Finley in the balls, he is influencing the outcome of game(s), because you know that's gonna be a suspension.
When Stackhouse shoulder tackles Shaq from behind on a breakaway in a move that was carbon copy of James Posey on Kirk Hinrich, you know that's going to be a suspension.
It's simple really - if they don't up, the league won't call them on it.
Truthfully, if a Heat player had done the same to a Mav, I'd want them suspended. In the past the league has done like not suspend a player because it is a Finals game, and that's the kind of that turns everyone off to the officiating.
Your players have earned and deserved everything they've gotten in the way of suspensions, deal with it.
I am glad AJ doesnt whine and cry about bear hug defense and foul shooting discrepancies, if he did he would look real silly right now.
..great point!
bear hug defense talk. lets get some of that going!
How about we just talk about the mavs' lack of defense in two games taht were crucial for their success?
Okay, it's 'game time' for me. I'll keep folk abreast on the board of anything interesting at the game.
Maybe I'll see a few hot babes that can help find Dirk some balls or something...
I like the way he (AJ) spits out a little snippet of waaaaa and stops himself and says but we dont complain.
[QUOTE=Islymore]Part of me would agree with the thots that AJ is panickin a bit...
I would totally agree with that...
If I didnt believe that his opinions had some purpose.
All the man is sayin is exactly what everybody has been sayin since playoffs begin.
Def on this forum. Spur fans wanted the officiating to be consistent against the Mavs, did they not? Mav fans felt the same. Lets stop with all the whining references when ppl have been sayin it since Playoffs began. Those same ppl werent whining when they wanted calls in favor of their team then, so why all of a sudden is it a whine when a COACH says he wants consistency from refs?
Ppl get real. Everybody has been saying so much about the BS calls from the refs, the lack of calls, or the refs ability to call a foul bc they thot there would be one....
IS THIS ALL SUCH NEW INFORMATION??? <<
You don't get it. It's one thing for fans to whine and complain about refereeing. It's quite another for the coach and owner to. It's not professional or very sportsmanlike. When your owner says your point guard didn't punch Finley in the balls when even Terry admitted to doing it, it shows he has no credibility. When the coach says he'll tell a player to pull the balls next time instead of punch, it shows he has no concern for ethics.
It's one thing for fans or even players to be overly emotional about every little perceived slight, but most coaches and owners, people in the 40s are mature enough to move on.
... You thot he was serious with the ball pulling? Come on. Can a coach not joke or be sarcastic? Sheesh. I mean... is it really that serious?
