Big win for the Suns last night. There's talk of Amare and Diaw getting suspended for coming on to the court. If the NBA goes by the letter of the law, Duncan and Bowen need to be suspended also for coming on to the court earlier in the game when Elson and James Jones got tangled. Hopefully nobody is suspended other than Horry the jackass but if there are suspensions, I only hope the NBA is fair to both teams and suspends all four players other than Horry.

Big win for the Suns last night, only to be followed today by ridiculously unfair news. Amare and Diaw were suspended, unjustly. Technically, the NBA could have deemed the melee to not be considered an altercation since there were no punches thrown and nobody was given a technical for fighting. Or, the NBA simply could have been consistent and suspended Duncan and Bowen for leaving their bench in the second quarter when Elson and Jones got tangled up. Any way you look at it, Stu Jackson's massive ego in all probability has cost the Suns a championship ring. I hope Stern and Jackson sleep well at night knowing that they just changed the course of the playoffs when they had the opportunity to make the RIGHT CALL. STUPID FU*KING PIECES OF SH*T!!!!!!!!!!

Just to reiterate, the league has once again screwed over the Suns, just like last year with the Lakers and all that happened in that series. Stu Jackson used discretion in his ruling. He ruled that Duncan and Bowen weren't suspended because the incident involving Elson and Jones wasn't an "altercation". I'd like to get clarification on that. In that sense, Jackson could have EASILY used discretion to say that the Horry incident wasn't an "altercation" since there were ZERO punches thrown. Jackson completely screwed over the Suns and screwed over NBA fans. Anything less than a bench player injuring Duncan tomorrow night is unsatisfactory if the NBA wants to play it like that. Basically what they are saying is that all the Suns had to do was have James Jones throw a punch at Elson and since Duncan and Bowen were on the court, they would have to be suspended. What's the difference what happened? Duncan and Bowen should not have been on the court. What was Duncan doing walking onto the court anyway? He must have been walking on because he thought a skirmish would break out. Isn't that what the rule is for? To prevent Duncan from stepping on the court? This whole thing stinks like rotten potatoes. It's one of the biggest black eyes to the sport in the last 20 years if you ask me.
