BLAIR SUSPENDED FOR GAME 5

[Harry Callahan]

per espndallas.

Sterling wants to trade suspensions.

[Dex]

Don't think it's really warranted, but I guess they have to stick to precedent.

Still, at WhataBlair. I guess we will have to wait for Game 6 to see his dominating return.

Ridiculous.

Now the Mavericks have an excuse for losing the series.

"We would have won if Blair wasn't unfairly suspended."

[Harry Callahan]

Blairs actions did not equate to Jason Terry's in 2006 - you know - the nut punch. It was bush league, but not to that extent.

The good news is SAS only has to win 2 of 3 as opposed to 3 of 3 back then.

such drama, so entertainment

[Spursone]

I don't think he should have even been ejected. I guess, lucky for the Spurs.

[Biernutz]

Where are all the Blair defenders now.......

[Dex]

Will be interesting to see what playblair has to say about this.

[weeks]

i'm surprised. i didn't feel like it warranted a suspension, but...there it is.

[lurker]

Spurs just lost their best player.

[Drachen]

I think it's a little harsh. still.... DaLoLas

[Robz4000]

Bad news for the Spurs...

After McRoberts got virtually no significant penalty for headhunting Lebron, this decision is absurd.

[sammy]

He's a dumbass! He knew exactly what he was doing! Glad, this jackass got suspended! I didn't dislike him until the hard foul on Manu in Game 2 and then kicking Splitter in the head just finished him off for me!

[ColinB]

Yeah, he had a nice little run last night. He still sucks and it is better for the Spurs if he is out there.

[Bill_Brasky]

Weird. Looking at it in real time Tiago falls on Blair's legs and the kick seems like more of a reflex than an intentional deliberate kick. Sucks for dejuan but it, he wasn't gonna have another game like that anyway.

Didn't even think of that. That was way worse than what Blair did.

they take it more seriously because it's the head region i guess

[Stump]

Tough break for the Spurs

[MI21]

Shouldn't be suspended, tbh.

I'm disappointed - Blair had his moment in game 4 and I was hoping it would blind Carlisle to his weaknesses and make him play more minutes, which 90% of the time will be a plus for the Spurs.

[Solid D]

I don't think Blair was actually looking at Tiago when he connected. He reared his head back and kicked out of frustration.

Interesting similarity (suspension) to 2005 PHX series. Different action but that series was close and PHX had the momentum.
