Wait 5 minutes before you post.

If Amare didn't open his big mouth, there would have beeb no bad blood btwn these 2 teams ; Amare is a ing moron
I'm sure you've watched the video enough. He looked right at Nash and started running towards him. I have a feeling that if Amare really wanted to get in the scuffle at midcourt, he would have made it past Marc Ivaroni (who had his back turned to the play). You can't claim that Duncan was taking the high road and Amare wasn't - that's just plain ignorant.
Three key Duncan moments from Game 4: (a) telling Nash to "stop flopping" (the irony is just too unbearable for me to explain that more); (b) finally getting called for moving his pivot foot; and (c) thrownig up his hands on the bench and acting like the Spurs never receive the benefit of bull calls.
But he was only jumping up to "help Elson"... Ladies and Gentleman, Tim "The Humanitarian" Duncan.
Ok first of all, I'm a Spurs fan and I really don't like the Suns right now. In the heat of the battle, with them making those comments about the Spurs being dirty, with cheap shots who are not only coming from the San Antonio side (Bell knocking down Oberto) and now with their office (did i read this right?) trying to make the league suspend Bowen and Duncan, it's hard to not disklike them. However, having said all of this...
I cannot help but feel bad for Suns' fans. Obviously I don't like Stoudemire because of all the things he's said throughout the series, but he was guilty of a faulty rule that should be examined after the season is over. This could have happened to the Spurs, one of our players could have been delivered a hard foul like that and our players could've been off the bench just the way Stoudemire was. Perhaps the Spurs' players would have known better not to abandon the "bench's vicinity", or not.
It's a bad break for the Suns, because Stoudemire did not really do anything in this occasion. However, he needs to mature sooner, be more aware of what the rules are (stupid as they may be) and do what's best for his team. Those Suns assistants should have been on them as soon as that happened, but they were just as stunned.
It's a break for the Spurs. They should win the next game...but Spurs fans know better at how well San Antonio fares in emotional games.
Go Spurs Go
Amare isnt going to do ...start a vbookie...POTG Game Six
Amare(+400)
TD(-200)
Keys for the Suns to win Game 5:
1. Play LOTS OF ZONE. Force Parker to shoot and the Spurs to jack up 3's
2. Barbosa HAS TO BE HUGE!!! NEED 30+ from him...he's gotta ATTACK THE RIM and hit his 3's
3. Be PHYSICAL...you gotta but Parker and Flopnobli on their @$$. Not really dirty plays but HARD FOULS.
4. Nash must play like the MVP Nash..can't be having 8 TO a game
5. Marion needs TO BOARD...guards are gonna have to help out as well
Lastly, even if you lose game 5 you can win game 6 and 7. Refs can;t help but feel sorry for the Suns so expect all calls to go the Suns way regardless of where the games are played. Plus Amare will LOOM in game 6...he might go for 50
I'd love to see the spurs win it now.
It would be as well earned as Dirks MVP.
lol, dyson. this is true but all i'm saying is that duncan played even better last season in the playoffs than this season and the mavs couldn't afford to lose any guy for that series because they didn't have any great edge over the spurs. anyway, my point was more that even if the suns lost this one game, they need to think about one game and one game only, game six in san antonio. win that one game and it's a best of one series in phoenix. they've already won in san antonio so at least they've gotten over that hump. i'm tired of arguing over this, it is what it is, i just don't think this series is over because of the suspensions....but it will be if marion doesn't step up and score more.
poor suns they were handicapped by a bad situation. nobody's fault really. oh well, good luck next year.
ing A, just what we needed - another thread on this
I sympathize... but a rule is a rule. Now go try and change the rule.
I think SunsFan is going to implode. Dude, RELAX! Its just freaking sports. You don't get paid to give yourself heart trouble like the millionaires we watch.
The rule is weak. The rule is archaic. The rule is still a rule. The league may address it in the offseason, but a zero-tolerance policy is exactly that for now. You know I hate that it comes to that but there's no getting around when someone violates a clear and established rule.
I think Horry was suspended one game because the flagrant was so late in the game that ejecting him didn't serve any purpose, and the other was for the contact above Bell's shoulders, whether he meant to do it or not.
Issu mesmo!I gotta admit. All this crying and ing is cheap entertainment! Nothing like a hostile playoff series!
If you have a luggie spit it out.
Sign out!
coolAmare is going to tear up the Spurs in Game 6.
that worked in 05.
Ooops...
You really do not understand that it got harder, in an already brutal series, to win?
Anything can happen I am not arguing that. But the chances of it happening have been cut in 1/2. What cut it in half? Horry thugging a player of another team then the league decided to punish that same team. Good logic.
You're a lying ing Homer. Look in the mirror.
Absolutely.
How about this scenario: Parker is levelled in the same manner by Thomas. You don't think some of the Spurs leave the bench? And if they are smart and don't, what would happen then? Why the Spurs would all be called out for "not defending their team mate". It's a Catch 22 situation. The rule is flawed. There should be a provision for fines if the "altercation" does not go beyond a scrum, which is basically what happened. Nothing more than a bit of pushing and a few harsh words were exchanged!
This guy is an internet tough guy EVERY DAY!
Dude, he wasn't heading toward the spot where Nash was, he was heading to the spot where Horry was. There's tons of video evidence of that. I understand that you are upset, but at least be truthful.
This could easily backfire on us in game 5 with rabid fans and wussy refs who are too happy to give in to the emotion. I don't normally think refs screw teams on purpose but game 5 might show the refs are not going to take anything from the Spurs. You know Stern is pissed for being "forced" to do these suspensions and will likely tighten up the officiating even more. Bowen will probably have 2 fouls in the first 6 minutes. I'm not saying, I'm just saying...
