Stoudemire calls Spurs 'dirty' (Bruce & Manu)

[Nashfan]

It amazes me what a little whiney Black Jesus is

How can that amaze you when you have a few on your own team that you see every time they play?

[FromWayDowntown]

More commendable to take it to the media AND do it on the court, I guess, than to just do it on the court.

[mardigan]

How can that amaze you when you have a few on your own team that you see every time they play?

Because they leave their whining on the court

[DarrinS]

I am just saying that all this is just teams trying to get any advantage in the playoffs. If Terry had not been suspended for the 1 game whose to say if the Spurs would have won that game? Game 3 will be very interesting although I expect the Spurs to win that game.

Then Amare should have their front office send in the video for review. He shouldn't make statements to the media. It's just dumb on his part. How fired up do you think the Spurs will be now?

Amare Stoudemire is an All-NBA First Teamer--he can say what he likes.

amare would be just another guy with hops if it wasn't for nash ...

[Nashfan]

And the Suns coach poops his pants anytime a whistle is blown. Big in deal.

I think your coach probably invented that himself, since he always works the officials.

Lets be fair there are alot of players besides the Spurs that have yet to commit thier first foul.

[PhxDog]

Like Pop -- and apparently, unlike the Phoenix Suns franchise -- Duncan doesn't take his gripes with players or officials to the media.

Of course not. Pop and Duncan don't want to tip off the retaliation before it happens.

Good thing for you guys the Suns have Utah to worry about.

[Amarelooms]

Why suspend Bruce Bowen? He sucks...the Suns want him to play.

[Amare_32]

Then Amare should have their front office send in the video for review. He shouldn't make statements to the media. It's just dumb on his part. How fired up do you think the Spurs will be now?

I agree with that.

[conversekid]

manu grabbing amare was clearly a foul... but dirty? what a pu$$y ... go do some pushups to bump your testosterone.

[GrandeDavid]

Without a doubt.

But that's the fans, I can't see Duncan saying the to the press that Amare did.

Exactly, mabber. Duncan and his teammates following his lead would keep their traps shut and let their games do the talking.

[coachmac87]

amare would be just another guy with hops if it wasn't for nash ...

o ya like he did not dominate with marbury his rookie year?? he out did the great china man yao ming with out steve nash...if amare did not get hurt..he would be best top 3 big men playing as we speak

[mardigan]

You trying to compare the two coaches sideline demeanor is probably one of the most idiotic comparisons Ive ever heard of

[DarrinS]

Why suspend Bruce Bowen? He sucks...the Suns want him to play.

[saporvida]

Bell was suspended....so why shouldn't Bowen?

i remember seeing bell on the court in game2... or was i trippin?

[GrandeDavid]

Bruce is getting old now and probably nearing retirement. I'd like to see him let rip a criticism of Amare and the other hypocritical whiners. But on the other hand, I appreciate Bruce's embodiment of Spurs professionalism in letting the sobs go in one ear and out the other.

They are sending in a tape to the league is what I heard.

[coachmac87]

why do u have a picture of bowen hacking dirk??

[PhxDog]

amare would be just another guy with hops if it wasn't for nash ...

Sure, and Gregg Popovich would be just another career assistant coach if it weren't for Tim Duncan...

[Amarelooms]

Yep another good defesive play...guess hand across the wrist not a foul lol

[coachmac87]

Sure, and Gregg Popovich would be just another career assistant coach if it weren't for Tim Duncan...

more like just a GM

[bobbyjoe]

I'm sorry but that was a filthy, disgusting play.

It's one thing to elbow a man to his face like Karl Malone used to (still dirty) but the dirty undercutting that Bowen does just shows what a complete coward he is.

If anyone thinks this isn't a clearly intentional kick, it's just denial.

Bowen is a disgrace to the NBA. Why the need to resort to stepping underneath players and blatantly try to injure their ankles, knees, and feet?

We've seen this with Jamal Crawford.
Vince Carter.
Ray Allen.
Amare Stoudemire.
Steve Francis.
Etc

If this happens once, fine. But the 10th-20th times is not a freaking accident.

[GrandeDavid]

Yeah and I wish the Spurs never let him go.

Hindsight is 20/20. Bell evidently sucked at the time and the Spurs probably didn't want to waste time developing him. NOW I might like the Spurs to have him, sure.

Maybe Miami would still like to have Bruce, or the Lakers Horry. I see what you mean, Jim, but it was so long ago.

[Nashfan]

Exactly, mabber. Duncan and his teammates following his lead would keep their traps shut and let their games do the talking.

You mean like every game where they are always working the refs?
