An altercation is pretty much the same meaning as a fight. So how was it an altercation?
by duncan walking on the floor.

Players get tangled up all the time. It can sometimes lead to an altercation, but in this case it didnt. No words were exchanged, no pushing, shoving, or punches thrown. Duncan may have had no business being on the court, but the suspension rule only applies to an altercation which there was none.
how was it anymore of an altercation than nash and horry?
let the contradiction begin....
Nash jumped up and got in Horry's face talking . There was also a little shoving going on between Bell and Horry.
what the does that have to do with boris diaw and amare? they got farther than duncan did sure, but not by much. plus the said "altercation" was difused by the time they got anywhere near anything.
Horry hipchecked Nash and he got walloped out of bounds. From there Raja Bell and Steve Nash got in Horry's face and there was a little shoving and such. Amare and Boris at that moment left the bench area to join and no one know what they would've done. Then they were pulled back to the bench. It all simmered out then we went back to playing the game.
Elson attempted a dunk over James Jones. After the attempt, he fell over James Jones and they got tangled up. But note that there was no talking or shoving or anything altercation-wise that went on during that point. Duncan and Bowen both got off the bench to argue maybe about possible a foul on James Jones. But note that they were not a part of an altercation and there was no altercation occurring.

if amare does this to tony parker near your bench, who ain't getting up? who's not getting furious?
Nothing, which is why they should have stayed out of it.
hear the tape. marv albert even says elson is giving jones the business. and you saying duncan got on the court to dispute a foul sounds alot like boris and amare were checking on a teamate who just got ed. the rule says do not get on the court for . duncan was on the court for reason unknown just like amare and boris.
they didn't get anywhere near this "altercation". that's what i'm trying to say.
like duncan had nothing to do with the situation with elson and jones. he should have kept his ass on the bench, glued like you and the league all suggest
No, the rule states that leaving the bench during an altercation equals an automatic suspension.
which tim duncan did.
He should have, but the league wasn't forced to suspend him because it wasn't during an altercation. That's why the Duncan issue comes down to the leagues decision, it isn't a clearly stated rule that had to be enforced. The league decided that Duncan did nothing to escalate the situation.
I know that neither Duncan, Amare, or Diaw did anything wrong. But Amare and Diaw HAD to be suspended because it is a clearly stated RULE.
No, Tim Duncan left the bench. Not during an altercation. I'm not so sure you know the definition of ''altercation."

here it is again
Okay so now we're going by what Marv Albert says.
Yea but Elson didn't get in Jones's face after the possible foul like how Nash did with Horry.
The rule is don't leave the court during an altercation or a 1-game suspension.
But they did leave the bench area, which is all the information you need to handle the suspensions.
that's the rule and timmy got offOkay so now we're going by what Marv Albert says.
why not he was there, and he has no bias towards either team so i would call his comments fair to situation
Yea but Elson didn't get in Jones's face after the possible foul like how Nash did with Horry.
no because jones didn't give him the satisfaction by running down the court
The rule is don't leave the court during an altercation or a 1-game suspension.
so did duncan
He left the bench but not during an altercation.
Not during an altercation, though.
Does this help you understand better?
I'd be pissed if this happened to my team too. It may have changed the outcome of the series. But there's nothing you can do, the rule is clearly stated in black and white. Dumb mental mistakes can sometimes cost you.
Then you can thank Jones for not starting an altercation and not getting Tim Duncan suspended.
The rule is during an altercation. There was no altercation so it wasn't mandatory that Duncan be suspended.
