whitesoxfan101 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(Brian @ May 15, 2007 -> 09:39 AM) If Bowen didn't get suspended for his cheap shot on Nash, Amare won't get suspended. My buddy is a big Spurs fan and will not admit the Spurs are getting dirty at times. Bowen is a dirty player and SA is a dirty team, but both the play against Nash and the one against Amare were debateable in terms of if they were dirty, as I see no way to prove either was intentional. However the Horry play was very dirty, that is not debateable. The thing everybody seems to not get is there is a cut and dry rule that if you leave the bench during a skirmish, it's an automatic one game suspension, no questions asked, and people who did far less than Amare and Diaw have been suspended under that rule. Amare does indeed have a chance as mentioned to avoid the suspension as he was checking in though (and based on how the NBA treats star players, I wouldn't be surprised if they lean on that crutch to avoid suspending him). However, it's a lock that Diaw gets a game, and it's also a lock that Horry gets a game as well for starting it. If that is ALL that happens, it's a little more fair IMO as well, although yes the Spurs are very dirty and I hope they lose this series for it.

He BETTER be suspended if Diaw and Amare are, it's the exact same crime. Period. EDIT: In fact, if you notice, there is another player that comes out to restrain Duncan and get him back to the bench. ESPN's Ric Buecher just said that is none other than Bruce Bowen, so based on the rule, he should also be suspended. So Bowen, Duncan, Amare, and Diaw should be out based on the rule, although that shows just how dumb this rule is.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) stern has usually been very good about handing out suspensions, so I'm disappointed since the rule has been automatic ever since those knicks-heat brawls. And I refused to join the warriors bandwagon. Edited May 15, 2007 by SleepyWhiteSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) So, does it seem to anyone else like Robert Horry just delivered home court advantage to the Spurs? God stuff like that bugs me. Horry commits the foul, and it hurts Phoenix a lot more than SA. Edited May 15, 2007 by Balta1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Basically since they're f***ed for Game 5, the Suns should just take cheapshots on the Spurs when Duncan is on the bench hoping he goes on the floor and gets suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Absolutely horrible. Jalen Rose was on TV today and they showed a clip of an earlier altercation in the game where Tim Duncan left the bench and was stopped like Amare was. Why wasn't he suspended? One of the above posters is right. Horry commits a hard foul and gets his team possible and easy game 5 win. Here's hoping Nash drops 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't a fight or altercation going on. The Sun players left the vicinity of the bench. Duncan was 4-5 steps from where he sat. I disagree with the rule personally.

Kyyle23 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Tyrus Thomas hit a spin-to-the-baseline kiss off the glass that was just beautiful. i dont trust him to do it regularly, but it was nice to see something other than a dunk or free throw from TT.

I think I'm just upset about it because it seems extreme for a playoff situation. Fans want to see the superstars of both teams play in a crucial game, like I do.

It took Skiles 3 games before he really unleashed Thomas effectively on Detroit, but he finally did it. now that he is running Thomas out there earlier, it is really speeding the pace of the game up. even though Detroit is a great defensive team, they have a few players that arent responding well to this fast paced up and down game the Bulls are playing. I dont doubt that the Pistons have a run in them in the last quarter, but the Bulls have beaten them pretty handily in the first 3 quarters.

WHarris1 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bulls. By the way I am absolutely f***ing outraged by the Suns/Spurs suspensions. There is no f***ing way they can suspend Amare and Diaw if they don't suspend Duncan. What a f***ing joke. Way to f***ing change the f***ing biggest game of the series assholes.
