Honestly! I've seen a lot of basketball games and a lot of hard fouls and a lot of bad officiating. But it works both ways, folks. Everybody gets bad calls and everybody gets away with stuff. Get over it already!
The Phoenix Suns are an outstanding team but their fans are a disgrace. I didn't hear much whining from the Spurs' fans when Jones undercut Elson or when Ginobili got that black eye. So why can't the Suns' fans show the same kind of maturity?

The first 3 Suns' fans just proved my point. Two keep right on whining while making no effort to answer the question, and the third has to resort to sexist insults while giving up on his team before the series is over. Thank you.

Agreed, and the flagrant 2 is a bad call too. Spurs are over it and they're showing how experienced they really are, calm and everything unlike the Suns who don't know what else to do but whine.
Phoenix's fans can't accept the truth, that Nash just flopped and that both players deserved to be suspended. Oh and Horry didn't. Its playoff basketball, what do the Suns expect? Being a team that doesn't know how to play defense doesn't mean that they can't be roughed up or else there will be consequences. Come on! Its the playoffs..
nightwing, rules are rules, Both of them deserved to be suspended with their action.

Yes, I have heard a lot of whining from fans of all teams at one time or another...including from Spurs fans when Tim Duncan was ejected by Joey Crawford.
Tim Duncan complains and whines to the refs as much as almost any player in the NBA, although he often does it much more quietly than a guy like, say, Rasheed Wallace.
But in this series, it's so obvious that the Spurs are in the heads of the Suns, it's almost laughable. The Spurs play hard, physical (and sometimes dirty) basketball.
The hits on Nash are too numerous to think the Spurs aren't physically trying to take him out. Even if one can aruge that Parker's "hit" was accidental (which it was), Bowen and Horry were trying to cripple the guy.
Nash himself just wants to play ball but his teammates need to control themselves... as I pointed out in another answer, how long have Amare and Diaw been in the league?? They KNOW that leaving the bench is an AUTOMATIC suspension...what did they think they were going to do?
The Spurs just stayed glued to the bench and watched two Suns leave the bench and get automatic suspensions, which most likely cost the Suns game 5, and a 3-2 lead in the series. Horry received a proper punishment (suspended 2 games) for attempted murder, what more can you ask? Obviously, Horry deliberately tried to take Nash out, and I think it was done in an attempt to see if he could lure any Suns into leaving the bench...it worked.
This series is a great match up...I hate to see it play out the way it is, but the Spurs are doing what it takes to win, and you can't blame them for that. Those dudes are smart!

It seems lately everytime a series takes place the team that loses screams and hollers about the bad officiating and how officials are screwing their teams over. People have already forgotten about Tim Duncan getting ejected from the final Dallas game for laughing on the bench. Last season the Suns were down a 3-1 deficit against the Lakers and were ranting about everything and came back to win and then the Lakers fans hollered about everything. Time for these poopeaters to quit crying everytime their team loses a contest. Seems like half the fans bitching and moaning ride the bandwagon half the time. A few years ago seemed everyone was a Laker fan last year it was Miami fans everywhere, Pistons fans before that *sigh* Grow up already and quit whining ya'll. Your team will get another chance.

You need to stick to women's sports if you can't comprehend what has taken place in the NBA playoffs. Really, if you don't know why Suns fans are so upset, sports just isn't for you.
Jones undercutting Elson did not screw the Spurs out of a possible championship. Ginobli getting caught in the face while driving the lane, did not screw the Spurs out a possible championship. MAYBE you could possibly have an argument if Marion's hand to Ginobli's face was INTENTIONAL and it is the direct reason for the Suns moving on to the next round. But that isn't quite the case is it, Mrs. NBA Analyst?

you would be able to desire to take a certainty examine. they are the peepal and the SFA/SPL ought to grasp that and basically provide them the punishment that they are going to settle for. The SFA/SPL do no longer know that in the event that they punish The Rangers too severely they are going to be mauled via Commandant Jardine

Haha i just asked a question exactly like that! But yeah i agree w/ you so many whiners. The fans just embarrass the suns, i seriously think they need to stop. Just have high hopes for your team and don't give up on them. Right?
But usually fans do whine and you gotta live with it.

If I keep kicking you in the balls, you'd be making a
whining noise too. its that simple. actually i think the
coach and players have not complained about
the suspensions. No matter its a good series,
I just hope the suns start kicking them in the
balls back, then SPURS will be whining about
their balls hurting. SO you are right, hit them
in the left knee, hit them in the right knee hit
them in their balls....go SUNS.

you're right. let's just watch some basketball. basketball itself is a dirty sport, being physical and all.

Do you even know why the Suns fan are so upset before you ask the question?
How would you feel if some stole your car but the cops reward the car thief with money? And, you don't get you car back!!
Well, you have not proved anything
