Raja should be suspended for game 2

[mavs>spurs2]

Suspended? Come the on.

That way when the spurs win in 6, Sun fan will have no excuses.

@ the little Mavs loser trying to bring objectivity to the discussion.

LOL...

I'm sorry that most Spurs fans disagreed with you and caused you to "further review" the foul...

Um, Avery Johnson? Mark Cuban? Virtually every Mavericks fan that's ever been on this board? And when you defend Terry even after what he did to Baron Davis, who takes you seriously?

Just pointing out that you lack any kind of objectivity, and that your contributions are so personally motivated that they're a joke. Manu got hit, but you zero in on any outside chance that he embellished the contact, basically proving that you weren't even watching Mavs games this year, since Devin Harris did it at least twice a game.

I didn't defend Terry for the nutpunch...I don't care what Avery or Cuban said about it either. A punch is a punch...

Terry didn't do to Davis though...Spurs fans blew that out of proportion with "pile driver" "body slam" and "leg sweep" bull talk...

It's no "outside chance" that Manu embellished the contact (since he wasn't even hit in the face!). Jump on timvp for saying that Manu "embellished" the contact...

Harris fakes getting hit in the face twice a game?? There's a difference in a flop to draw a charge and faking a punch to the face, IMO of course...

What time of the game did this Raja flagrant/not flagrant occur?

[LakerLanny]

Raja Bell and James Posey have gotten away with at least 3 fouls each in the last 2 seasons that Kobe Bryant would have been sentenced to death on by David Stern.

The double standards are incredible.

At least we don't have to suffer with The Gnome (Joey Crawford) this spring.

For that at least, I give my humblest appreciation.

While I concede that Bell didn't deserve any untoward punishment for that hard foul on Manu, I think he's likely to try something stupid later in the series.

At some point, D'Antoni is going to realize that putting Marion on Parker doesn't pay. Bell will guard Parker and try to knock him on his ass sometime in the next 2 games. The problem with Bell is he isn't subtle like Bowen, but is more of a hack and a flopper. I hope nobody gets injured.

It looked like Manu faked a shot, Bell jumped into him a little, Bell reached out to brace himself out of instinct. Maybe a flagrant I guess. I don't think it was intentional. Doesn't warrant a suspension though.

Well, it won't be in Game 2. D'Antoni has already stated that he plans to go under the P&R and dare Parker to beat us again.

Bell gets frustrated too easily and is unable to channel that into positive production, unlike Master Bruce.
