This has to be a joke.

sweeeeet surprises.  i thought my summer vacation was OVER and that i needed to start summer school wednesday morning. 

BUT...i just checked and school starts on monday!!!!  YEAH BOOOOYYYY! 

who wants to play GOLF?!?

So Robert Horry is suspended for 2 games for his flagrant foul on Nash.  That's fine cause Horry was being a punk.  and honestly, the spurs will be fine without him.  actually he might have just sealed the series for the spurs.

But Amare and Diaw are suspended for one game going into game 5 of a 2-2 Series for getting up off the bench and but doing nothing?!?!  The NBA had mine as well give the series to San Antonio! I do not think that the suns can maintain any presence in the paint without Amare.

David Stern and the NBA are a joke.  i guess this is a classic example of misunderstanding the spirit of the law vs. the letter of the law.  but even the biggest foolio knows that the right thing to do was NOT to suspend amare and diaw.  they didn't throw a punch, push anyone, or even get in an opponents face. all they did was get riled up (justifiably) over Horry's dirty foul.  a fine would have been appropriate. no harm, no foul.  the pheonix coaches did a good job of keeping the Suns bench off the court and away from rockin Horry (who also threw an elbow at Raja Bell immediately after that play!)  man, where'd that angst come from bobby?  I thought you were classier than that.

this is why i'm all about college football and the NFL.  I'm glad the the NBA is struggling right now just to get ratings and save its product.  David Stern you can eat my shorts. 

ALSO, though i didn't see it, i heard that earlier in the game, Tim Duncan was guilty of the same violation of getting up off the bench after some tough contact between some suns and spurs players.  if that's so, SUSPEND that fool too!  argh.

sorry, but i've been listening to a lot of sports talk radio and i was really hoping that the NBA would do the right thing on this case.  Bringing the hammer on every infaction is not doing the right thing for the sake of the game.  sometimes, you've got to let the players play and understand that preserving one of the most exciting series in the playoffs is more important than punishing two guys for getting up off their bench.  i'd love to see the suns boycott the series or do something DRASTIC.  Stern, what makes you think you can rule the NBA through fear?  Man, the NBA players union needs to man up, unify and learn something from the baseball and football unions where the players actually have some RIGHTS. 

AAAAHHHHH!!!
