    It's not hate or anything.....but both Alston and Barnes should get suspended.

    Barnes for starting the mess.
    Alston for punching Nash.

    Maybe.....
    Shaq for pushing Tracy and Yao for nothing.

    i think they kicked both principles out and that's good enough for me but i can see suspensions for barnes for starting the whole thing and rafer for the punch thrown at nash. i think the rest can be overlooked, i see no reason for t-mac to be suspended.

    i dont think rafer should be suspended. i mean he was confronted by nash even when tmac was trying to push rafer back, i mean NASH went straight at rafer, tmac was playing peamaker and barnes, well hes a punk.

    Nope, I think he is a putrid shooting guard and a horrid PG.

    the acceptable punishment to skip should be some fine, like $5000.

    He should have to buy a box of band-aids for Nash's neck.

    What about Nash running into Rafer's face because Tmac set a hard screen on him. Rafer shouldn't retaliated, however, Nash instigated the whole scene. I won't mention, Barnes playing WR and throwing a shoulder into Rafer.

    I'm all for our Team to stop getting punked by teams thinking they can play physical against us.

    If anything just fine Barnes but I wouldn't be opposed to forgetting the whole thing completely like it never happened. No harm no penalty.

    I say that both Alston and Barnes should get suspended.

    As a rocket fan, I say Rafer could be a trouble maker for the team, the team could be in a big trouble if there was a big fight. Rockets led the 20 points at that time, then stupid Rafer want to start doing something with Barnes who of course was the one for starting the mess, but you leave this for ref to do it if you are the team-first player, plus that it is not a bit deal when you do not get an injure from the play.

    rafer did the right thing..."no whistle, fine let me confront him"

    it was the third qtr and up by 19....unlike the boston game where we were down only 6 with 3 min left...

    timing is everything

    I don't blame Rafer for confronting Barnes, he should have, I blame Rafer for taking a cheap shot at Nash while he was on the ground.

    Nash should be fined because he flopped in a fight. NBA hate floppers.
