Suns vs. Spurs

The suspension of a First Team All NBA player and last years Most Improved Player because they went up the side line when the leagues 2 time MVP is laying on the ground after being way-layed into the boards is ridiculous.

The suspension is like saying look you took a few steps beyond the coaches box so we are going to suspend you, they might as well have went onto the court and knocked Big Shot Bob’s block off and got that same 1 game suspension.

What-is-more, when you see the tape of Tim Duncan walking out onto the court past the 3-point line when there is a high potential that there is a scuffle after Elson comes down on the head of Jones and ends up on the ground and was corralled back to the bench by Bruce Bowen who also was on the court. To say that just because Jones and Elson didn’t get into a scuffle and Horry decided to deliver an elbow into the face of Bell, Duncan and Bowen don’t deserve a suspension is preposterous. Let’s say that Jones doesn’t run down the court and just stands over Elson and stairs at him, would Timmy and Bruce have been suspended them? It just doesn’t make sense!

I actually would have been ok with both Staudemire and Diaw and Duncan and Bowen have been suspended for a game, but to suspend one set because Horry fired an elbow to Bell’s face and Elson and Jones had some sense doesn’t make any bit of sense! IF YOU LEAVE THE BENCH WHEN THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A SCUFFLE THAN YOU SHOULD BE SUSPENDED! You shouldn’t be suspended only when some idiot loses his cool and not when cooler heads prevail.

This being said, I am even more upset with the officiating in the Warriors vs. Jazz series. They let the Jazz get away with way to much and had the tight knuse around the neck of the Warriors. The foul on Jackson last night when he went for the steal and Dee Brown went right into him and he gets a flagrant foul for it is just one evidence. I probably would have gotten kicked out of all those games if I was on the Warriors, those refs marred that entire series! There was a play in the first half of last nights game where the ball clearly went off of Barnes and then off of Boozer, the ref that couldn’t see a thing gave the ball to the Jazz and the ref that should have seen everything lets them get away with it, it was so upsetting! Well, I guess I’ll chat with you peeps later. I still haven’t forgot my promised post about life.

Thanks Joey for asking my thoughts on the suspensions, I have much more to say on this but I don’t have the time to write it all down.

Rob-dogg and Brittany, thanks for calling, and thanks for the gifts! It really made my week getting to hear from you all! You both are in our prayers.

Before I forget, how ‘bout Baron Davis’ dunk the other night! It was amazing! Reminiscent of Kevin Johnson (KJ) over Hakeem (The Dream) Olajuwon.
