Stern defends Suns suspensions

[SRJ]

Game 1 -- would have been a Suns victory if not for Parker cheap shot on Nash

Nash just got the ball stolen on the previous play and was reaching in trying to get it back when their heads collided. If Nash isn't committing a reach-in foul at that point, he doesn't run the risk of bumping heads.

But logic doesn't agree with you, clearly.

Game 1 -- would have been a Suns victory if not for Parker cheap shot on Nash
Game 2 -- Suns blowout
Game 3 -- would have been a Suns victory if not for Donaghy & crew fixing game
Game 4 -- Suns victory

Suns actually swept that series. They were obviously and demonstratively better than the Spurs, and it took the movement of heaven and earth to award the Spurs the series through cheating.

Even awarding them two games was only sufficient to create a 2-2 tie. It was clear that without something outrageous, the Suns would win the series despite the effort to fix it for the Spurs. Thus, the "suspensions." If not for that, you know the league office would have scoured the game tapes looking for a reason to suspend some other key player for the Suns, and you know the officiating in Game 5 would have been even more absurd than it was.

Counting Game 5, the Spurs needed three of their four victories delivered illegitimately. It was an obvious fix. Everybody on Earth who is not a Spurs fan knows this. That is why the 2007 championship is a farce.

Ok, stick. Besides Spurs fan, who does this "fix" benefit?

[RonMexico]

I said "not as much" not "not at all."

Besides, you failed to show any real monetary fallout from bumpgate -- so there's no reason to asuage fans who aren't going to be going to the ASG anyway.

Brings the city and fans a huge amount of cash and exposure in tourism a year after they host the Super Bowl - and most likely without the amount of violent activity seen in Vegas.

But of course. Phoenix swept the series. It all makes sense now

Props to Saguaro for the funniest post of the year... and one that has incited rage in numerous Spurs fans thus far.

Is it so difficult to read sarcasm on this board or do you all just take yourselves and the Spurs too seriously?

Be honest - with "fans" like _da_suns_fan_, etc it's hard to know what's sarcasm and what's not.

Besides, ST rules say that sarcasm has to be in blue.

It's a "thank you" to Peter Holt for faithful service.

None of that has anything to do with this:

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Hahaha - Nash played great after he hurt his nose... it has to do with the fact that they couldn't stop the bleeding to KEEP him out there.

Exactly. Blood, sprained ankles, whatever. Its apart of the game.

That's a point well-taken.

Besides, it's equally difficult to convince fans like Chump Dumper that an All-Star Game benefits a city financially. Those fans might not be going to the game, because it's become a corporate piece of garbage, but they'll definitely be tuning in and probably attending the Jam Session activities during the week.

[RonMexico]

I said he gave the city a gift. The city (aka individual fans) pays the money for season tickets, which the team receives. In an all-star game, the city and the fans receive the financial benefits.

I don't see what's so hard for you to get about the fact that my original statement has very little to do with the season being sold out, and moreso about the city getting the fun and money from All-Star Weekend.

[ChumpDumper]

Still makes no connection to Bumpgate. I don't see why that's so hard for you to get.

[RonMexico]

Bumpgate isn't a real term. Stop using it.

[ChumpDumper]

It's a fine term if only because it annoys you. And you still haven't made any real connection between Bumpgate™ and the ASG.

cool. I come to phoenix a lot ,my sister-in-law and brother-in-law live there, they never show me . I just assumed by your earlier comment that you were going to start making threats over the internet like many people on this forum like to do. It sounds like we are up to two of us going so it could be a party. Can you get me a ticket to the game?
