Just because someone isn't calling down the wrath of the basketball gods onto Stern and co for their decision doesn't mean they are happy about it.
Dont leave the F'n bench and their wouldnt be a problem

It's not like the Spurs haven't taken down the Suns in a playoff series before (2005 4-1). I think the Suns have more to prove in this series! Stop being a little ! It's not the Spurs fault those 2 jackasses left the bench! They know the rules! They broke the rules! If we win we win fair and square mother er!
You act like Horry murdered your point guard. He didn't. The Spurs had their second leading scorer taken completely out for the playoffs when they were a contender. I don't think he was ever the same player after that foul. That's the reason Spurs fans don't agree with your contention that Horry's foul was the worst foul in NBA playoff history. I wasn't calling you pussies to be mean. I was pointing out the FACT that some of you are pussies, because some of you are.
Actually, it's on Amare and Diaw. What's really sad is that so far only one Suns fan recognizes that.
I'm not happy that they were stupid enough to leave the bench. That just gives the whining complaing Suns fans an excuse if the Spurs manage to advance. It for damn sure isn't going to make me feel bad if the Spurs manage to win this series. Not one little bit. They broke the rule and got suspended. I wish the ing officials had called the touch foul on Finley and none of this would have ever happened.
You act like Horry murdered your point guard. He didn't. .... would you feel the same if parker was checked into the boards by an opposing sub... be fair
I agree with the suspensions! These dumbasses knew the rules and still went onto the floor if anything, they were idiots because they cost their team! They knew the rules, but still jumped up and went onto the floor so if anything this suspension is on them! All other players in the past were suspended and so it would've been unfair if they got a pass because they are starters! The NBA has to enforce the rule otherwise others will think they can get a pass if another altercation happens!
If he got up and wasn't hurt, we went on to win the game to take back home court advantage, and the guy that hit him was suspended for two games? I'd be elated. Angry at the foul? Yes. Relieved that he was unhurt? Yes. It was a hard foul, but it's a far cry from what Juwan did to DA. Manu got hit harder by the Nuggets in '05.
As many other people, I agree with the suspensions but not the stupid rule
Public view manYes, Amare and Boris should have been slapped on the wrist and fined and Horry only one game. There is no consistency in what Stern does, case in point is what Baron Davis did to Derek Fisher. He doesn't get suspended for throwing an elbow at Fishers head but Kobe in the regular season gets suspended for same type action. Sorry Mav fans, but when Jason Terry threw Davis down in that series he didn't even get a foul if I remember correctly. There is no rhyme or reason for the way Stern hands out punishment, plain and simple
^^ Awesome screen cap ^^
Dumb move by Horry but do not think he had it all planned out to bait the Suns bench, just heat of the moment mental breakdown. Amare and Diaw did what any decent teammate would do, naturally react to their team leader getting checked hard into the sidelines.. F the rules
That's just dumb reasoning. Only three current Suns players played much in that series (a second year Barbosa played very little). And Amare is a much different player than he was then, and the Suns overall are better at defense and rebounding than they were then. And rely a lot less on small ball.
First off, there may be some Suns "fans" who are calling for Horry to be suspended for many games, but not many. So be careful with your use of "you." Most real Suns fans think that it deserved a 1 game suspension.
On Amare, to some extent. Not on Diaw, however. He was going to help a teammate. Watch the replay closely, look who Diaw is looking at and where he ends up. Think if the play would have happened by the coach. It would have been dumb for Diaw not to help Nash up. It's dumb for a player to be concerned about how far away from the bench he is and the possibility of fighting when helping a teammate. If James Jones had decided to punch Elson instead of running down the court, then I could call Duncan dumb for being on the court at that time.Actually, it's on Amare and Diaw. What's really sad is that so far only one Suns fan recognizes that.
Calling Diaw dumb is calling Duncan dumb, then. Bowen had to pull Duncan back because he wasn't thinking about the rule. How the were Diaw or Duncan to know if an "altercation" was going to take place?I'm not happy that they were stupid enough to leave the bench. That just gives the whining complaing Suns fans an excuse if the Spurs manage to advance. It for damn sure isn't going to make me feel bad if the Spurs manage to win this series. Not one little bit.

Whatever, arguing with Spurs fans on this board is pointless. All I'll get in response is a bunch of cussing and blatant homerism. Oh well.
Duncan was dumb. He was lucky there was no altercation.Calling Diaw dumb is calling Duncan dumb, then. Bowen had to pull Duncan back because he wasn't thinking about the rule. How the were Diaw or Duncan to know if an "altercation" was going to take place?
I DON'T THINK HORRY SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED AT ALL. NASH FLOPPED. WE CAN BEAT THESE GUYS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T PLAY. DAVID STERN FOR PRESIDENT! (OH HE ALREADY IS.... )
RULES SHOULDN'T APPLY TO US
You leave it open for interpretation and you make too much room for bias and corruption to enter the equation. Sports are one of the last fair and equal playing fields on earth, don't let some squirelly in a suit corrupt that by giving him the power to interpret and do what he pleases. Make the rules absolute and up front, and the punishments the same.
Are you a fan of corruption and discrimination?
You asked, and you were told that more people disagree with you than agree. The people on the bottom are favoring corruption and discrimination because that's exactly what you get when you allow a man the power to interpret the rules as he sees fit. Every rule should have an absolute definition in sports.
I thought votes were confidential
Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes
Not when you're talking about laws.
I just needed to get that qoute out of my system
horry hard fouled nash in the shoulder and nash flopped .... his flop drew the emotion of his team, period. That said, when Horry did the foul I didn't like it. Win with class and lose with class. But amare left the bench and the rules are crystal f'n clear... which is why the assistant coaches grabbed him and ran him to the bench. He left the court, so bye bye.
This thread is pathetic. No self respecting basketball fan wants to see the other team's best player suspended on a technicality. Anyone who voted yes ought to be ashamed of themselves.
If the Spurs win, they get an asterisk now. They won't have proven that they are the best team.
