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?

First, I don't think the Spurs have any truly dirty players, although Stoudemire accused Bowen of such. Bowen is older, a fairly intense player, but not dirty. Amare was just frustrated.
Second, it's up to the refs to eject players. Your scheme could get the coach ejected if he were the one who proposed it.
When Robert Horry did the check on Steve Nash, Steve managed a pretty theatrical fall and Horry got ejected, got a flagrant foul, and was suspended for two games.
The refs and the NBA managed it. When the two Suns players came out on the court they violated NBA rules and that's why they were suspended for one game apiece.
Basketball is a mental game. Both the Spurs and Suns are physical teams. Game five could go to either team so it is a fair series. My advice as a fan (a Spurs fan, thank you) is to let the players play the head games, support your team and congratulate the team that wins the series. Either team that wins will have done so fairly.

He doesn't have to punch him, just give a flagrant foul, they seems to be more of a reward for that than a punishment. Just look, Amare and Diaw combine 30 points and 16 rebounds, suspended, verses Horry's 5 points and 5 rebounds. Now who again was the flagrant foul on?

The Spurs are the poster team for why teams need an 'Enforcer' on their bench... The way the NHL used to be. I guess that is what you tell your 12th or 13th man on the bench... "Go out there and take out Bowen, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker!" All starters... All goons...
That would not be right. The best thing the Suns can do is play their own game... Run and gun and hope they come out on top of this one.
As for Popovich... He can go beat himself! He ordered the flagrant foul by Horry on Nash. He should be suspended as well. Shameful!

Being a Suns fan I definately understand. The Suns got the BIG shaft in this situation. This is bad for the playoffs, especially this being a pivotal series not only for T.V. but for the franchise. The Suns will run like they never have before. It would be even better when they beat the Spurs without their "Big Men". But your idea doesnt sound that bad either!!

Absolutely not.
Such a tactic could draw VERY serious punishment for the suns. The suns should run faster than theyve ever run before, and they can with the orange crowd behind them.

No, I would sucker punch Duncan. They mess with your best player, you mess with theirs. You know what they say about paybacks.
