    I just don't understand how Artest could be suspended for 3 games and Nash wasn't suspended at all!!! I mean, Artest wasn't even in the game - how is that fair??!!! :eek: :D

    In other news, I'm not so much concerned with how AB matches up against CP tomorrow night - I want to get through tonight first. This is a depleted Spurs team that we should dominate, but for some reason it has me worried. Hope I'm just getting paranoid for no reason...why are all of you looking at me like that?

    i hope the majority of pple know that the pick tmac pick was just a pick. it was only hard cuz nash ran into it unknowingly, like hes the first person to do that. it happens in every game more than a million times, pple forget to call out screens.

    GET THE **** OVER IT

    maybe i should but it pisse sme off that nash is usin that pick as an excuse. p***y.

    we dont need rafer vs the spurs since theyre banged up but vs no woulda been good, BUT, we're stacked and dont need rafer every game, altho vs a very good team we should have all our good players but w/e. tmac, barry, ron, brooks, head all can handle the point, and wafer is there if we need another wing.

    cant wait for the word on steve francis. if he can play for us this season then omeffing goodness sake

    If Artest can guard Brooks he should be able to guard CP3.

    I don't think Nash was running over to a group of Rockets players to try to hurt one of them. Whatever though. Steve Nash ended up doing nothing, even if he tried. He ended up running away from Rafer.

    Tracy shoved him very hard straight to the ground and whether he flopped or not, it looked very bad. Shaq was pushing people but it wasn't malicious.

    If I would have done it, it would have been:

    Barnes 2 games
    Rafer 3
    Tmac 2
    Shaq 1
    Nash fine

    I really thought Tmac was going to be suspended for sure. It's not about the flagrant after you retaliate. Rafer would not stop, so I think he should be out longer. I really didn't think Nash did anything other than be a little p***y. Tracy got caught in a bad situation. He was trying to break up the fight, but shoving someone to the floor was going too far in trying to break up the fight.

    Why? The people who I was talking about was serious when they were complaining that Steve Nash wasn't suspended.

    Well, I don't think the three "complaints" on the subject immediately preceding your response were serious at all, but maybe you weren't referring to those.

    I'm assuming the ref crew got some kind of discipline behind the closed door, those guys could have stopped the whole thing by giving Barns a T right after the foul.
