If that's the case, the Tim and Bruce should be suspended too. Read Steve Kerr's column @ Yahoo Sports.

Yup. He single-handedly sealed Game 5 in Game 4. What a luxury for Greg ;D

I think Bullcrap Rob is the more applicable name from now on. Shame on you Horry! Sayang, you could have retired w/ a good name...

Baby Bulls win, became only the ninth team trailing 3-0 to force a Game 6 after cruising past the Pistons in  Game 5, 108-92.

Hahaha!

Karma creeping up on Phoenix. How's it feel to get roughed up all of a sudden, huh? What Horry did was just a statement. Nash deserves an Oscar for flailing his arms like it's so hard a hit. "There's your foul right there!" I seem to remember Tinker Bell saying after that clothesline. Nash got pimp slapped big time by Bigshot Rob. Let's see if the Suns retaliate in kind.

With all the flopping going on in with the Suns, even Nash' teammates can't tell if he did flopped on Horry's foul or not.  From where I'm seating, it was a cheapshot but the acting made it looked worst.  Too bad it backfired on the Suns!  :P

Here's Bill Simmons on the suspensions:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070516
An excerpt:

So don't blame the NBA higher-ups for the way they interpreted that stupid, idiotic, foolish, moronic, brainless, unintelligent, foolhardy, imprudent, thoughtless, obtuse and thickheaded rule. Blame them for having the rule itself. Blame them for allowing the league to morph into something that doesn't quite resemble basketball anymore. Blame them for a league in which basketball players aren't totally allowed to think and act like basketball players and teammates aren't totally allowed to think and act like teammates. Blame them for an ongoing double standard in which the Bruce Bowens of the league can willfully endanger other players, but a roundhouse swipe on an attempted block can get someone ejected if they miss by a scant 10 inches while moving at full speed. Blame them for dubious officiating that's compromised the playoffs to the degree that an increasing number of fans are wondering where the WWE ends and the NBA begins.

If the Spurs win it all this year, it'll be like the 1999 lockout joke of championship.  ;D >:( The Suns played a brilliant game 5 but as Steve Kerr mentioned in his latest column, do they have enough gas for the next game?

It's always been the philosphy of the NBA to let the players decide the game (like not calling touch fouls on the last play). Well this is not letting the players decide. I agree that a rule is a rule. But they should revisit this rule. Unfortunately I doubt they will.

The NBA has become so paranoid of having a repeat of the Indiana-Detroit fisticuffs that spilled out of the playing court that it's sickening.

Agreed. It's been mentioned before that in any sport at the highest level, athletes don't really think but react almost instinctively. Why penalize that?

Well, whether the Suns would have won the series or not, I'm fairly certain that we've been deprived of what would have been an unforgettable game 7. We hardly ever get one. And very rarely with 2 teams of this caliber where it almost certainly would have been close and would probably have been decided in the last minute or the last shot. And because of that stupid rule that never happened. Way to go Stu. Way to go Stern.

Sucks to be the Suns. But not to rob the Spurs of their moment, but they did beat a complete Suns squad in game 6.

A Game 7 would have been fitting for what was arguably the best series in the second round.  But you have to hand it to the Spurs and the way they played on both ends of the court in the third period.  Now, we're looking at what looks like a pretty dull Western finals.  Can't say that the Eastern finals is any better though.  :P  Detroit should win easily over Cleveland and return to the NBA finals.  As for the Spurs, I think the Jazz can present some problems defensively and it's also a well-coached team.  But most likely, the Spurs will advance.

we can never be too sure about this. last year the entire Piston team including Ben Wallace had a hard time containing King James and the Cavs. It took them 7 games to dispose of the Cavs and if I remember it correctly the Cavs didnt even have Hughes during that series because of an injury.  This series  is gonna be a battle.

Right, forgot about that.  Wonder whether Chris Webber will make a difference this time.

I'm gonna root for the Jazz and hope Fisher tortures the Spurs again at crunch time. ;D
