As he states, it's up to the owners to make the rule and his job for interpretation. The rule is clear and those players left during the altercation. Even when including the idea of intent, Amare wasn't just looking for a better view.<BR/><BR/>Get over it, Suns fans and Spurs haters. David Stern and Stu Jackson didn't score just 6 points in the last 5 minutes of last night's game. That wasn't Stern and Jackson who took ridiculous shots reminiscent of Starbury shot selection. Indeed, that was the "people's MVP" Steve Nash. The fact is, the Spurs make shots when they need to in big games at key junctures and the Suns do not, regardless of the squads available to them. If you disagree with me, look at Phoenix's playoff results against teams of equal or greater stature under D'Antoni.Paymonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179522944078513967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34690815.post-68590463042147934402007-05-17T01:30:00.000-04:002007-05-17T01:30:00.000-04:00Surprise surprise.

Or even Parker.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention Finley.<BR/><BR/>Geez. Amazing that a guy as dirty and cheap as Bruce Bowen makes the shot no less. Lucky guy.<BR/><BR/>Stu Jackson and David Stern (who sounded like a spoiled know-it-all rich-kid on ESPN's Dan Patrick radio show) are both getting evil thoughts from me. <BR/><BR/>Cowards.

I don't care what Stu Jackson's argument for not suspending Bowen and Duncan is, THEY WERE ON THE COURT! No one, with possibly the exception of Horry, should have been suspended, but if they're gonna suspend Amare and Diaw, at least live up to your own standards, stop being hypocrites, and suspend Bowen and Duncan as well. Finally, fire David Stern and Stu Jackson for the sake of the game, they are ruining the intensity that makes NBA basketball worth watching.OnlyHalfPepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709086764566402855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34690815.post-27618988409332174212007-05-16T01:42:00.000-04:002007-05-16T01:42:00.000-04:00I only wish David Stern realized how pathetic anot...I only wish David Stern realized how pathetic another Spurs/Pistons series will be.<BR/><BR/>Ratings will be in the toilets.<BR/><BR/>A lot of "purists" will say it's the best basketball matchup.<BR/><BR/>And you know what?

Horry got 2 games and Stoudemire and Diaw each got one. Even if you are only counting person/game this is an even draw. We all know who's at fault here. Even draw? Not to mention it is really not person/game as Horry's cheap shot takes away two of Sun's starters. If that's how basketball is to be played, all we need is more enforcers on the court. If Spurs win this series they win it dirty and in shame!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
