Pictures of Amare leaving the bench

in relation to importance to society, yes. But rules are rules and all rules are inherently the same in nature.

I'm not criticizing you for feeling they should be suspended. My point is mainly that the rule is not all that clearly defined (i.e., the definition of immediate vicinity--is that six inches from the bench, for example? A foot?). I do wholeheartedly agree with you that if the league's rationale is that they don't want to suspend those two because they're key to the Suns (as Barkley was arguing), that would be complete crap.

Again, knock off the political . This ain't the ing place.

But the 24 hours is all politics. No doubt Jerry Colangelo will be calling Stu Jackson to plead the Suns' case.

Politics play a very large role in what is going to happen tomorrow.

So rules and laws should only be enforced if someone is harmed? So the drunk driver who get's pulled over before he kills someone should be set free with no punishment?

No, but he doesn't receive the same punishment as the driver who kills someone either. Your "Suspend Them All" all at ude borders on belligerence and does not serve the spirit of sportsmanship. BTW, your career ap ude scores just came in and your qualified to be a prison guard. Congrats.

Apparently, you've never been on a waxed hardwood floor. I got hit in a similar fashion as I was crossing half court by someone of comparable height/size difference as Horry to Nash and I slid about 15 feet. I was running so fast that my feet pretty much lifted off the ground and I slid half on my side and half on my ass until the momentum finally stopped.

If those boards weren't there, I'm pretty sure Nash would have done the same since he was forced to leave his feet. However, Nash was falling backwards (to brace himself?) while my momentum actually took me from half court to the FT line on the other side. I didn't see the guy coming though (more of a blindside hit) so if Nash saw Horry, he probably could have slowed up more.

I have been blindsided on a waxed hardwood floor. But 15 feet...

Anyways it was an unnecessary foul by Horry. A simple regular foul would have been enough. But from watching the play numerous times it certainly looks like Nash sold it for more than what it was. He got the flagrant 2, but it really wasn't needed because a regular foul would have been enough to seal the win. Hopefully this play doesn't end up deciding the series.

I didn't set the "suspend them all" rules - the NBA did. It's their rule, they set it.


BTW - you have to either be a little kid or a got damn moron.

True.

For the record, I didn't mean that kind of politics.

[Purple & Gold]

Liberals are ruining this country.

"Conservative ideals" would let the players settle it on the court, but in the world where everyone gets a medal for participating, we need to have "rules are rules" arguments.

And yes, I am a moderate.

I know this isn't the place.... But

[Trainwreck2100]

I like the "what the are you doing here" look that assistant is giving Stoudamire.

[Louie Vega]

Bye Bye Amare! Take full advantage of that R & R cause when you get back your ass is gonna get beat up some more! There's no crying in basketball!!

[RonMexico]

I know.

For the record, I just wanted to rile up P&G because he's a raging liberal and makes a point of it every thread.... usually as the bullets are whizzing past him on an outdoor concrete court in LA as he's jacking off to his latest Andrew Bynum poster.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

GREAT! ING GREAT! The Spurs get away with more bull ! THIS ISNT ING FAIR!!!

[Trainwreck2100]

What did they get away with?

[Obstructed_View]

What did they get away with?

more bull . Didn't you read the post? You don't actually expect a coherent explanation, do you?

What the are you talking about again. When I think Ron can get no stupider he opens his mouth again.



BTW... did you notice your 2 favorites Bush and D'Antoni both have that same stupid looking grin. It's quite ing funny.

And what happened to your boyfriend Battier. Looks like you were right about how great that trade was.

[Spurs Brazil]

Actually the rule has been amended from the Ewing suspension. There's wiggle room for the league. I say don't suspend anybody, even Horry, and let 'em play.

Agree

[Findog]

Horry got a Flagrant 2 and an ejection. His "suspension" is already covered. Amare and Diaw were held back by their coaching staff. I want this thing decided at full-strength for both teams. anybody who wishes otherwise.

[florige]

I doubt he will get suspended for that. He left, but I will highly doubt given the cir stances anything will happen to him.

[SAGambler]

You notice his head is turned toward the scorer table to check-in.

It was amazing how fast one of the announcers came up with that one. Not surprising since the other one (Kerr) must want to suck Nash's , the way he carries on over him.

Horry, Bell, Diaw, and Stoudimire should all be missing from Game 5.

[Taco]

He should be suspended............but he won't be

[Findog]

He should be suspended............but he won't be

He's being held back by Iavorini. Good enough for me. The Suns coaching staff was headsup on that. Phoenix shouldn't be penalized.

[florige]

That one guy with the glasses grabbed Amare up quick.

So how much money did you lose on the game?

[SAGambler]

Yeah, the coaches always grab a player and restrain him from going to the scorers table to "check in".

But if he was going to "check in", then by stepping on the court, doesn't this mean the Suns had SIX players on the court? What is the penalty for that?

The announcer started that "going to check in" so I guess that's their story and they're sticking to it.

Got a chuckle from though from Barkley and company.....

Shaq said "Can't do the time, don't do the crime", so obviously he doesn't buy the "going to check in" scenario either.

What difference does that make?

It's the same old crap. No matter who the Spurs play. TNT and ABC announcers are riding the other teams .

I guess it's because the Spurs are boring and old and slow and only know how to win.

Face it. If the officials don't make the calls to keep Phoenix in it, that game was over by the end of the third.

Well, I guess we know which dwarf you're going to be today.
