No, it didn't.
You're comparing Amare and Diaw to a kid who would have served no time if he had simply ed the girl instead of receiving head.
Let Amare whine. His broken dreams are all he has.

And again...the legislature has changed the rule and the judge is revisiting the sentence.
The NBA owners have not changed the rule.
End of your argument.
No, the point was made that you're a complete moron.
Man, you are thick. You still don't get it?
C'mon. It's obvious the TC is a Suns fan. They've been disguising themselves as fans of other teams for quite a while now.
With that said...The Suns never had an honest shot at the Finals anyway. It was either going to be the Spurs or Jazz. If the And1 Suns made it to the Conference Finals the Jazz would have handled them in 6 with DWill and Boozer owning Nash and Stoudewhiner in every way possible.
I can understand Stoudewhiner's frustration though. This year was the Suns only chance and Amare blew it. Next year the Jazz will only get better once they find a competent 2-guard and the Mavs might have a shot once they learn to get over their choking problem. The Suns defense will never be championship calibre which is why they'll continue to be knocked out in the 2nd round. , the Nuggets would have taken them in 6 or 7 but the Suns were fortunate enough to play one of the worst defensive teams in the first round instead. The Suns just don't like to play defense. Even after Jordan spanked them with a record 41 ppg in the Finals the Suns still didn't bother adopting a competent defense. Next year will be more of the same with either the Spurs, Mavs, Jazz, Rockets, or Nuggets knocking them out.
Sorry, JMarkJohns, but I'm more and more convinced that Amare and a whole lot of Suns fans completely deserve each other.
So a couple of players managed to violate a rule that every other player faced with a similar situation did not in the last couple of seasons.
You're absolutely right Shred -- for the first time in league history, the league should have made an exception because two Suns couldn't maintain their composure and handle a stupid play by an opponent.
When a superstar can't maintain his poise, it's his right to expect that the league will treat him differently than every other player who has ever broken that rule. That would set a wonderful precedent.
I'm not a Suns fan, I'm a Celtics fan who happens to be a Nash fan. You shouldn't pretend that only Suns fans thought the ruling was bull . Judging from online polls most of the country felt the same way. It would have been great to see a Spurs/Suns WCF final but archaic seeding rules and the whole East/West thing gave us the final in the second round. To make matters worse, a cheap shot decided the series. You can say that you beat the Suns full strength in game 6 (not game 1, mind you -- Nash was on the bench, but that was nobody's fault) which is true, but you know as well as I that each win/loss changes the dynamic of the series and affects the mindset of each player in different ways.
I agree that Amare calling the Spurs "dirty" was out of line, but you're destined to bear that distinction with Bowen on your team. He's right on the money about the rule -- Suns probably would have won the series minus the Horry foul; and the rule itself should be tweaked in order to prevent this nonsense in the future. As fans we should all want the best possible series, not one decided by David Stern.

I do get it.
I get that you're mad the commissioner didn't exercise discretion in your favor. He exercised discretion, just not to your liking.
Feel free to contact your legislators.
You can slice the bitterness with a butterknife can't you?

Spoken like a man who's never complained about a speeding ticket in his life.
NBA did not suspend any members of Sacramento Kings who left the bench
So tell us, what other rules should Amare be exempt from?
That should read, "Spoken like an attorney who understands the rule of law and its applications."
Any that require thought, apparently.

Went right over your head...2 time.
