Tell all of the players the following gameplan:

You're going to play Spurs basketball. Pat Burke is going to go out on the court, sucker punch Bowen on the court and no Suns player will leave the bench. The dirty Spurs players will get ejected, Pat will just take one for the team, and then the series can be fair again. Thoughts?

Duncan and Bowen both stepped onto the court while the refs were still dealing with the situation and trying to figure out if the player was fouled. They did not know whether or not it would be an altercation because the players were still stalking to each other.

Stu Jackson wouldn't even give a straight answer to reporters about a possible suspension for Duncan and Bowen and said they ran down to the other end of the court. UNTRUE. The video shows Duncan and Bowen stepping into the court and wlaking back to their original places. Jackson also never stated once said they stepped 6 feet into the court, he just brushed it off.

Spurs fans keeping going on how they were just checking on their teammate but apparently the Suns players can't check on theirs?

If you have been following the suns-spurs series, you would never miss the cheap shots bowen and ginobilli gave to amare, nash and marion

now, here comes the pre meditated body check by horry on nash that caused the avalanche of consequences and suspensions. i wouldnt be surprised if popovich made the call.

it seems that the spurs got away with all these "crimes" against the suns and the NBA office have been morons for not catching them and making all the wrong decisions.

it seems the suspensions will stay, so now it's time to move on and (sigh).. believe (thanks, warrior fans) suns will win game 5

who's with me?

The good news is the series is tied, and Game 5 is in Phoenix.
In my mind the losses of Horry and Diaw, kind of offset each other.
The real loss here of course for Phoenix, is losing Stoudemire for the game. The Suns could still pull through though. There backcourt of Barbosa, Nash, and Bell are still intact and ready to defend the Spurs back court. Marion is still going to play, and Kurt Thomas does about as good a job as you can expect guarding a player like Tim Duncan. The Suns will have to go a little deeper into the bench, and depend more on the perimeter shooting, but offensively, they still have enough weapons, and firepower, to compensate for Amare's loss. Where this might sting them the most is defensively, and on the boards. Nash will just have to look to shoot a little bit more. I actually see Game 5 as more of a must win for the Spurs, because if they lose this game without Amare playing, even if they win Game 6, they still have to play Game 7 on the road.

Ron Artest, and Vitaly Potopenko to the Lakers for Lamar Oden.
When I mean realistic Im not asking if its a bad trade or not Im asking if you think it could happen.
If you dont think this trade is realistic than put in your own trade involving Ron Artest and a team that is a likely destination.

I think the NBA should allow steroids. Heres why:
1. People argue that steroids are dangerous to players health. But quite honestly basketball itself is dangerous. Basketball players must train at an extremely high and often dangerous level and admittedly it is the anticipation of beholding injury that makes hoops fun to watch. Hoops are dangerous so we give the players rules to protect them. Lets do the sane for steroids regulate them and put players under the care of a speacially trained doctor but geez lets let em take some real risks for our entertainment and their enrichement. Besides its not like these athletes dont want to take them. If they want to accelerate themselves past normalty let them. Let the best acne riddle, dink shriveled roid raging super human win.
2. People say that drugs are cheating and threaten the integrity of the game. But its only cheating if some people have acess to the drugs and its against the rules. Furthermore technology has been able to shatter

What is their ideal team. I say
Marcus camby
Llamar Odom
S.Marion
Kobe Bryant
Derrick Fisher

Not this that this team can be assembled but I think they need to try to get a similar makeup to succeed.

Seems like every game they do something that seems dirty, yet the fans took crazy offense to stoudemire's comments that they are dirty.

do you think that stat and diaw will be suspended for leaving the bench after the flagrant? they just wanted to check on steve. taking them out for even one game in the series will have a major effect and totally screw everybody. except spurs fans, though. will they be suspened for game 5???

The center is one of the standard positions in a regulation basketball game. The center is normally the tallest player on the team, and often has a great deal of strength and body mass as well. A typical NBA center is 6'10" (2.08 m) or taller. So why are “Big Men” a lost treasure?

The rule clearly states that a player who leaves the bench during altercation/fight will be suspended...so after reviewing tonight's play will Amare and Diaw be suspended for game 5?

I wouldn't be shocked if Horry is done for the rest of the series

Any thoughts?

What do you guys think of the Baron Davis play on former teammate and friend D-fish last night?

Also J-rich's clobbering of Okur?

I mean the guy should be entitled to his opinion, but I never heard him pinpoint exactly what it was about Oakland and the surrouding area he said he didnt' like. I thought San Francisco was a pretty cool place the one time I was there when I was younger. It was one of those family trips/vacations, and I didn't really get to do the things I wanted to, but it still left a positive impression on me.

Everyone knows how Barkley is a Spur's fan. I thought it was clever as hell to use that reverse psychology tonight on the audience. I loved the way he pointed out how he used the "checking in excuse" when it happened to him and by asking a active NBA (Shaq) player how he felt the answer was going to be obvious. Did anyone else catch on to this or am I delusional?

Hey, Amare- TNT has around 10 cameras on the whole thing. I think they got you, my friend.

BTW, my other favorite is " I didn't really see what happened."

High comedy.

When Shaquille O’Neal left the Los Angeles Lakers, the team went in shambles. So the simple thing to do would be to bring “The Diesel” back to L.A.
