Stern on Dan Patrick

[UV Ray]

By rule, Steve Nash should have been whistled for an offensive foul before Horry hit him for attempting to dribble between the defender and the baseline when there wasn't sufficient room. Fortunately the Spurs, while penalized the outcome of game 4 due to such an egregious error in officiating, they were able to overcome it by beating the Suns in game six despite missing a key role player.

And sad Suns fans make me happy. I don't care if Holt's wife is visiting David Stern daily for service. I'll take the championship to keep it away from Phoenix.

So you'd like your asterisk in...gold?...?

I'll just go ahead and put you down for gold (appearance of integrity and achievement)...probably the best bet for PR purposes.

Why are you talking about an asterisk? There's been no controversy in this series. Well, maybe people could think the Spurs kidnapped LeBroom and replaced him with his re ed twin brother.

LMAO!

Patrick won't buy Stern's garbage and spin.

Are the fish not biting?

[UV Ray]

as long as the asterisk comes with a trophy I don't care what color it is!!!

It's so funny that you care so about the Suns...your team would be get destroyed by them too!!!

I remember all the Cavs fan saying how excited they were to play the Spurs because they sweept us and how they matched up so well against us...And how Mike Brown knows everything about the SPurs...what a bunch of crap!

Put an asterisk for your team too...as being the worst compe ion the Spurs have faced in the playoffs this year!

You can't have both, so I'll put you down for a black asterisk (bad boy, thug image). Good choice!

Hold on maybe there's a transparent one in the back.

It's good to be the bad boys! Next time you guys make it to the finals make sure that your team shows up

That's the spirit!

[UV Ray]

It's going to be sorry to see you go after the series...better luck next year

They'll have to pry my cold dead hands from my mouse, er uh, I mean keyboard.

The pitiful punch line is, he's a Suns fan, not a Cavs fan.

[Extra Stout]

Dynasterisk.

Hey Suns fans, see that asterisk? It's the big asshole; give it a kiss.

I listened to the interview and it sounded the other way around to me. Basically, Patrick kept coming at Stern with the same line of reasoning (rule should be changed, if Bowen had been suspended then Horry wouldn't have knocked Nash down). Stern listened patiently, then when he had enough, he told Patrick that he was reaching. He went on to say that when he brought up the idea of changing the rule, that resulted in Amare and Boris getting suspended, no one supported the idea.

To all of the Suns fans/apologist out there it's time to move on.

Everyone in the NBA knows the rule and it's consequences. It's a good rule. Players should not be allowed to leave the bench area. Anyone rushing to an altercation only makes it worse. If you need to blame someone, look at the two players from your team that made a bad decision.

Suns had everyone in a must win game 6 and lost.

When the Cav's made a run at the Spurs in Game 3, Pop spoke to the team about dealing with adversity. The Suns created this adversity for themselves and weren't good enough to pull themselves out of it. As long as the Suns fans/coaching staff plays the "woe is me card" they will never look at what they need to do to improve.
