Looks like I made a wise bet w/ this payout! 2 more games at home for phoenix

Part of an article about last nights game, it aint over till well you know.


Credit the Suns for amping up their game at both ends, for changing up their defense, and for refusing to yield. Blame the Spurs for assuming the game was already done and won, and for taking their collective foot off the gas just a mite.

However, roused by Horry's cheap shot, both Boris Diaw and Stoudemire clearly left their bench with angry intent and tread the wrong side of the no-no line.

The next move is Stu Jackson's. If he fails to suspend Diaw and Stoudemire for Game 5, then he'll totally bankrupt the stay-at-home rule.

Is the rule bogus? Maybe yes, and maybe no. But it is the rule. Any bench player who sets foot on the court during a fight is automatically banished for the next game. Until, and if, the rule is changed it must be enforced as is.

So it could very well be (and should be) that Horry, Diaw, and Stoudemire will all be watching Game 5 on TV.

A terrific trade for San Antonio, and an unfortunate turn of events for Phoenix.

Surely Alexander Pope must have been thinking of the NBA playoffs when he wrote in his Essay on Man, "This is the best of all possible worlds."

Don't count your karma just yet!

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to Spartacus again.

Dirk produced way more during the season than nash did

the MVP is awarded for season performance not post season, therefore; dirk screwing up in playoffs means nothing to the board

I watched the replays on my TIVO and it didn't look like amare set foot on the court, the coaches did pretty well at keeping them back.. they clearly didn't get into the fight so the suspension is up in the air.. suns could be fucked if amare gets suspended but they did well last year w/o him

I'm not talking about the playoffs. Nash is clearly far more valuable to his team. I would also dispute the statement that Dirk produced way more than Nash. The only reason many writers didn't vote for Nash is because they didn't want to put him in that immortal category with those that had won three straight and that's a stupid reason.
