Those guys got themselves suspended, no one else to blame
Oh wait, it didn't happen? Give me a break.
See you next year.
Those guys got themselves suspended, no one else to blame
This series is in no way over. Anybody remember the Spurs losing game 5 in 03 when Nowitzki was out with an injury. Who was the point guard back then, oh yeah Nash. I'm not relaxed one bit because of this. Spurs still have to come with their A game for every game, starting tomorrow night.
I want the Spurs to win, but I'm not really down with this ruling -- and I don't think it assures the Spurs of anything. The Suns could very easily ram their version of small ball (ala the Milwaukee Bucks) up the Spurs asses in Game 5.
I understand the rule, but I think there was wiggle room there for the league to have taken no action against Stoudemire and Diaw while giving Horry a game or even a steep fine.
Okay. To all of you Spursfans that are pissed about the PHX suspensions, "the series is tainted" etc etc. Do you think that it would even it back up if we were to lose tomorrow? And is that what you want? Because I honestly can say that deep in my heart I will take a championship anyway I can get it. Yeah it sucks that both teams can't be compe ve with their full teams or whatever but come on!
There are so many quirks to this league and game it's unreal. If you about calls one game, you're practically guaranteed to get alot more called for you the next. And that has absolutely nothing to do with basketball THE GAME! If you talk about one player doing something shady or illegal, you're practically guaranteed to have him watched alot more closely the next game. Psh, if this is the reward we get for having to put up with that bull than I'm all for it.
Bravo Ginofan.
I really hope the Spurs win, but we all know a team in under manned that play MUCH better
Nash may have a 40+ pts game
I'm expecting no less. Spurs typically do crappy when an oppenent is missing key player(s) ... Suns will be super-motivated, and their home crowds should be rabid.
Not thrilled with the decision, regardless of the rules.
imagining this board if decisions were made against the spurs suspending duncan and ginobili would be hilarious. stfu.
Their player just got decked and they moved over and went back. Big ing deal. I didn't support this bull in 1997 when it cost the Knicks and I sure as don't support it now. The rule is absolutley moronic and totally destroys the integrity of the game and its compe ive spirit. Not to mentionally it seriously escalates things.
How many rings does your team have? Better yet how was it losing to an 8th seed.
Whereas the puny (that would be the Mavs) are at home crying about the teams that are still playing. Get over it.
Hey your "MVP" looked real good in that tie. Funny how he was the first "MVP" in 25 years to lose in the first round and have to get the award in a suit instead of his uniform at a game.
it's a bull rule that has repercussions for not following it. maybe phoenix should learn the rule and next time two of their top players won't be suspended.
Just like one game without Duncan would end you at this point. We all know whoever wins game 5 is taking the series.
You mean, like the choking to the #8 seed Mavs???![]()
It's going to be great come the end of tomorrow night and come in here and read all the whining by you fans because even with Amare and Diaw out, the Suns still win by at least 10. I can already hear all the bad officiating complaints, and Suns get all the breaks. Gonna be awesome to watch the Spurs still lose because they still don't have equal talent to the Suns minus those 2 players.
spurs didn'ts set the rule and suns KNEW about the rule
so they screw themself up
no1 else to blame except them
so shut the fuk up
No, I don't. Are you referring to the 2000 playoff series where Tim Duncan did not play due to a meniscus tear?
not likely
yes, it's moronic. every team and its players know the repercussions of not following the moronic rule. i hardly feel sorry for amare and diaw.
You're so right.
Kurt Thomas= Tim Duncan.
and I can already see this thread being locked because of its stupidity![]()
Spider, don't do this... let the Spurs fans be the egomaniacs who jinx their team.
and if the Spurs win this will be different from the "you only beat us because of the suspensions" whining how?It's going to be great come the end of tomorrow night and come in here and read all the whining by you fans because even with Amare and Diaw out, the Suns still win by at least 10. I can already hear all the bad officiating complaints, and Suns get all the breaks. Gonna be awesome to watch the Spurs still lose because they still don't have equal talent to the Suns minus those 2 players.
Hey...I want the Spurs to win it all...I just don't look forward to all the "tainted series" bull the fans of other teams, especially Suns fans, would throw at us until the end of time.
