    Rafer getting suspended is not a good thing.

    I am wondering, if Brooks starts, Hayes maybe also should start.

    i think the suspensions are a bit unfair.

    1. Barnes definitely deserves more games than Rafer for starting it... but then again Rafer did put a hole in Nash's neck.

    2. I'll be honest.. I don't think Nash deserves the one game. He didn't do much besides run up and grab someone, and then get shoved down by Tmac, and then get a chunk taken out of his neck by Rafer..

    3. Shaq should have gotten a much much more severe punishment. He shoves THREE Rockets players from BEHIND, full force. Do you know how dangerous that could be?? And two of those players are superstars.. At least TMAC shoves Nash face-up, man to man..

    Shaq should have been suspended because he's very large man pushing opposing players around like their popsicle sticks. Somebody could get hurt in that scenario. Tmac should have been suspended for pushing Nash to the ground.

    But, it is what it is and I'm glad Tmac is still in the game tonite. My final comment is these players are lucky they are not playing under Roger Goodell's watch.

    nash went after rafer while tmac was trying to push rafer away from everyone else and it still looked like nash wanted a piece of rafer. the whole scuffle wouldve been over right then if it wasnt for nash. i agree with everything.

    Yep, seeing more of Luther is another reason I hate this suspension. Oh well, it is only two games. We will handle the Spurs. The Hornet's game is going to be tough. However, thus far they haven't played spectacular.

    Yeah what's up with him anyway? Is his cold really that bad? Hate to say it, but it's starting to look like his detractors were right. :(

    Man, I was looking forward to the Paul/Alston rivalry. They hate each other.
