Pictures of Amare leaving the bench

Looks like Baron Davis will be allowed to play in game 5 despite his elbow to Fisher. I haven't seen this play, is it anything comparable to Horry's hard foul?

you can't even compare the 2. Horry's foul was a flagrant foul nothing more.

Baron's was an elbow to the jaw of Fisher. You could compare this to Horry's elbow to Bell. and still, baron's is worse.

I don't get why Spurs fans are dying for them to get suspended. Firstly, it's all Horry's fault anyway for his foul to start everything. Secondly, why do you want more asterisk wins?

I didn't know the Spurs had any asterisk wins to begin with.

You act like the Suns are the Lakers or something...

You're the one who predicted they'd blow the Spurs out. If the Spurs can't beat the Nuggets they don't deserve to advance. What part of that don't you understand?

[Mixability]

It's funny, when I came into work this morning, everyone was talking about Amare/Diaw needing to be suspended because "it's a rule" the minute I mentioned Duncan/Bowen doing the same thing, the rule became "stupid".

I want a fair fight.

Beating an Amare-less Suns team would be the equivalent of beating someone up after you've tied one of their arms behind their back. Nothing to be proud of.

[BeerIsGood!]

My point is that the rule is vague. There's no written limit of what the "immediate vicinity" of the bench is. So Stern can determine the altercation hadn't began when they got up ... or he can determine they were still in the immediate vicinity of the bench if he thinks they were.

As for TD and BB - Tim went on the court when Elson/JJones were tangled up. Bowen went and pulled back Tim. So if you want to call that an altercation, they should be suspended too.

Then we all get to watch crap basketball in Game 5. Hooray!

I see that point as well, but I also feel you have to uphold the punishments that others had to endure. It's a no win situation for the NBA, the fans, and everyone else involved. That's for sure.

It appears if the refs had done their job and policed the game correctly none of this would have happened. That should be a lesson to Stern.

Kori come one , you really don't know why a Spur fan would want the Suns 2nd best player suspended for crucial game 5??

and the Spurs choking and sucking has nothing to do with the suspensions in question, totally different issues.

I agree. If Amare and Diaw are suspended it's their own fault, anyway. Same goes with Bowen and Duncan.

Umm.. in the eyes of others. I am asking why you don't want the teams playing at full strength. Why would you want anyone to be able to put excuses on why the Suns lost?

Call me carzy, but I think the difference is that he went on the court because he was excited about a killer dunk, not to try and get into an altercation. Because there wasn't an altercation. Nice try.

lets let the league decide what an altercation is, not a couple of dip s on a message board.

I guess Im a bad fan.

I want the team to win at any costs. If it comes at the prices of some poindexters in their mom's basements crying foul, then oh well.


I'll take all the excuse laden asterisk championships they wanna give out.

[BeerIsGood!]

I think this argument is a good example of society... some people want to let things slide, some people want to enforce the rules, and some people want to win at any cost - the kind of people who would step on their own mother to get ahead.

Where's the altercation? I'm all for suspending anyone who breaks the rule, but I fail to see an altercation there.

[SAtown]

that's a weird looking dude right behind ivaroni (sp?) on the right

I don't even know who "ivaroni" is, but it's obvious who you're talking about.

[timvp]

If Elson getting up off the floor pissed off at nothing causes Duncan to get suspended, Elson should be immediately waived.

Because Elson acted like a dumbass and the ref had to go over to him, that could be construed as an altercation.

WTF?

[planaria]

What the Duncan was doing there (way on court..even more than Stoudemire) if not to start some altercation or help Elson?

It´s exactly the same thing Amare did in the Horry play.

You dumbass.......Duncan was concerned that Elson was hurt....not that an altercation was happening.
