Amare and Diaw suspended 1 game, Horry 2

[LSK]

This is BULLSHIT.

Horry's thug move results in a huge advantage for the Spurs to get game 5.

1. It's insane.

If nothing else, Horrey should be gone at least 3 games - so that his suspension equals more than the total by the other team.

2. Well...those are the outdated rules.

[americanstranger]

3. Yep. Jackson and Stern just gave it to SA.

It was a stupid rule when it cost the Knicks a Conference Finals, it's a stupid rule today.

Spurs-Jazz in the Western Finals.

4. Here's what the Suns must do

During game 5, send in Jalen Rose. While in front of the Spurs bench have Rose punch Tim Duncan right in the throat. Every suns player will be aware of this and will not move to get involved. Have photographers ready to take pictures of every Spurs player that moves out of his seat, in order to have them ejected from the next game.

If I were the Suns I would do horse collar take downs on Parker everytime he drives, step on Duncan's feet, kick him in the balls and get every Spurs bench player to react.

The NBA is fixed.

5. NBA fixed?

So what you're saying is that David Stern intentionally fixed the series in favor of the team that will draw a minimum amount of viewers (namely, San Antonio fans and no one else) as opposed to the team that's a guaranteed ratings winner? He wants the most boring team in the finals instead of the most exciting one? What exactly is the logic behind this?
