FIGHT: Rafer Alston suspended 2 games

No I was not referring to your "Steve Nash just gets a pass because he's Canadian" statement.

 

I second this motion

 

I, for one, was totally serious. I think Nash should have been suspended for at least 1 game. The NBA really dropped the ball on this one.

 

I am so pissed Steve Nash was not only not suspended for a game, he should have been suspended for the whole season, damn biased Stern

Most everything is a pretty fair reaction. Barnes was the instigator, but Alston really escalated it and stayed aggressive and agitated the longest. 2 games for these two given all that happened is appropriate.

If anyone got off a little lucky it was Tracy. He pushed Nash down and had a confrontational posture--with Nash getting a game for his actions Tmac probably at least equally deserved one. Shaq just looked like a slow bowling ball who people didn't get out of the way fast enough--clearly no intent to harm or escalate--just a big sheriff in a room with a lot of flies.

 

I can't wait for the day 25 grand doesn't mean anything to me.

 

I wonder what the league is going to do with the money they receive from Shaq and Tracy.

 

Your not a fan or you must not have seen the whole thing that led to the scuffle for you to come up with something like that. Rafer getting more games suspended than Barnes is insane

 

They should suspend those 3 super blind mice on the floor as well. This is a disgrace.

 

I think the problem is the refs too...they failed to see players taking cheap shots during game and failed to call it. When Barnes made that cheap shot on Rafer, why didn't they whistle right away??? This tells me the refs are clueless about the emotion of players on the court.

 

Dang, worried about the Hornets game now. Without Rafer playing D on CP, AB may get schooled.

 

Hopefully hire some better refs.

 

I think Rafer would've only gotten one game if the scuffle ended with him and Barnes. But because he was going after Nash was why his punishment was what it was. It's like he got a game each for getting into it with Barnes and Nash.

Everybody got what they deserved. The league handled it well.

 

Wait. New Zealand has a basketball team?

 

STOP posting in italics. Jesus Christ, lol. IT'S ANNOYING. PERIOD.

 

I'm sorry if I got a bunch of people believing Steve Nash wasn't suspended. lol

One more time...:

STEVE NASH WAS SUSPENDED ONE GAME...FOR BEING A DOUCHE AFTER THE INCIDENT WAS BASICALLY OVER!

 

You think Rafer would have actually stopped him lolol wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc1wjfpdJ1k

 

No one can actually stop him, but some will do better jobs than others. He's going to score no matter what, just how much is the question. Rafer would defend him better than AB can. But hell, maybe AB will suprise us and do a great job. All we can do it wait and see.

 

I can't believe Shaw did not get suspended.

 

I agree with you on rafer defending him better but Aaron really never guarded CP3 really considering this is his first time really getting playing time. He never really played that much last season. It will be a fast pace game ill tell you that

 

That's awesome. Can we somehow provoke Rafer to get in more fights so he can miss more games?
