Depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.
ARRRRRRRG! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!
I can't take it anymore...I just wish everyone would justand PLAY BASKETBALL! Is that asking too much?
No one (other then people on this board) are really talking about this. It is a reach by the Suns if you ask me. It is comparing apples to oranges. At the end of the game, there was clearly an altercation. This incident is really not considered an altercation. However, some may say it is. I think the fact that it is not clear, cut, and dry will benefit the Spurs.
You forget Duncan was on the grassy knoll while all this was going down. Amare was the victim in the library with the wrench
That's the difference with the Suns and Spurs. The Spurs didn't send tape to the league of Amare and Diaw, didn't send tape of any of the 4 or 5 cheap shots from Bell yesterday, didn't whine like babies about getting completely jobbed in officiating in their own building.
The Suns get all the breaks and then their stupid ass players jump off the bench like complete idiots and they whine to the league to bail them out yet again. Pathetic Suns, Pathetic. I now hate the Phoenix Suns. I hope American West gets leveled by an earthquake.
EJ went on the national Fox radio show and brought this up
Duncan was going to check his team mate - Bowen stopped him when he saw Elson was ok.
Amare was clearly going in to cause trouble.
"During an altercation, all players not participating in the game must remain in the immediate vicinity of their bench. Violators will be suspended, without pay, for a minimum of one game and fined up to $35,000. The suspensions will commence prior to the start of their next game."
There was no altercation. Elson fell, and Duncan was making sure he was alright. The same can't be said for Amare and Diaw.
This series is reaching a new low. Come on, be men and play basketball!
Would you be able to expand on this a little more. I would greatly appreciate it...

- Stoudamire making up "kicking" stories
- Stoudamire lying that he was just checking in during the altercation
- Jalen Rose/Suns FO trying to suspend Duncan and Bruce Bowen
whine. whine. whine.
What are they trying to do next?
What makes you think the Spurs have not send tape to the League office? They just don't go out and say it to the public but I am sure they do send tape.
Amare was going in to see if Nash was ok as well as Duncan. No one should be suspended except maybe Horry.
Man, this series has gotten NASTY!
It would have come out publicly if they had IMO. But you're right, I don't know for sure.
In this case, they didn't have to.
There's like 3 or 4 threads on the front page alone that discusses this.
Amare did it during an altercation, Duncan didn't
Here is what will happen:
1. Horry's foul gets downgraded to a flagrant 1
2. Bell suspended 2 games, fined $40,000, for elevating the situation
3. Amare and Diaw suspended 1 1/2 games each, fined $33,275 each, for leaving bench
4. James Jones assesed Flagrant 2, suspended 1 game, and fined $20,000, for trying to take out Elson, fined $20,000
5. Stern takes all parties involved to dinner as areward for taking the spotlight off of the MVP ceremony
You are an absolute ing moron of a fan. You say stupid like this because you damn well know as a fan of that lame ass team that they stand no chance to win this series with the Suns at full strength. They are a bunch of jokes as players that can only win with all the help in the world by officials, and now the league office.
Than to say that crap at the end of your post just shows how absolutely childish you are. The rest of the fans of your boring ass team should be ashamed to have you as a fellow fan.
Your highly overrated superstar Duncan does the same damn thing as both Amare and Diaw and gets off Scot free. He walked onto the court during a play which by the letter of the law means a suspension, the same damn as Amare and Diaw. But some of you clueless fans who know they need all the help they can get will never see that.
No wonder why no other sport will put a team in that worthless city.
You are clueless. Why involve Duncan and Bowen for the Elson/Jones scene?
Isn't it that the Suns are the ones who are looking up for any help and grasping straws?
Because the exact same situations occurred. Players left the bench area, and the rule states they cannot do that. You suspend one player for it, you msut suspend all. Open your damn eyes!
