Amare/Diaw OUT for Game 5

They know the rules.

Not a bad idea to jump on SA +2 right now...that line won't last long.

Grab the ML instead of the 2

not for nothing but suns wouldn't beat the spurs anyhow.
They never have been able too and I doubt it would have changed this year.
Although now everyone will be on SA next gameI would bet the suns for that individual game plus whatever

Str8 Bullshit. Tell Stern to stick it. Too bad Stern never broke a sweat in his life to know what emotions in sports is all about. Oh Yeah My Bad!!! He did sweat when MJ left the game. Horry should be out for the whole series. He didnt even look back or come back to Nash to help him out or apologize. He looked as arrogant as anything.

The NBA just robbed its TRUE fans of a great game if not series.

I doubt the Spurs will be able to handle the emotion thats gonna be oozing out of the Suns IN PHX in game 5. This series should go 7.

**kalmikrazy** · 05-15-07, 07:05 PM

Gotta wait to bet on this game as im sure most of the guys here should be all over SA. Gonna be on PHX ML if the Spurs are favored.

**TheProphet** · 05-15-07, 08:25 PM

uhh he basically did suspend Horry the rest of the series he is suspended for the next 2 games. So unless Phoenix pulls of one miracle win and it would be a HUGE shock if they win either of the next two games.

Best thing for bettors value wise IMO. Suns win outright despite losing Amare and Boris. They should get all the whistles in game 5.

And I expect somebody to gouge out Manu's eyes tomorrow evening.

Exactly what I have been thinking. Find every prop bet under the sun that favors Shawn Marion and bet max. He will terrorize a Spurs team that will finally be forced to play "hands off".

Stu Jackson's genious strikes again.

**austintx05** · 05-16-07, 12:42 AM

its a fixed league, follow the money and profit from it..

**Razz** · 05-16-07, 12:49 AM

I think the Suns are the play now. And, I don't agree with any of the decisions at all. I'd have given Horry one game, Davis one game, and no one else any games. Whatever.

**moses millsap** · 05-16-07, 12:50 AM

If Boris gets suspended, then Duncan and/or Bowen should've been suspended as well for the much less publicized Elson incident earlier in the game.

**isetcap** · 05-16-07, 01:45 AM

All Jackson had to do was declare that there was no "fight" and the whole episode could have been circumvented. Instead he declared it a fight because Horry decided to throw an elbow that received no reciprocation and because of that action, the rule went into effect. So in effect, the fact that Horry's play was DIRTIER yielded the loss of 2 very important players for the pivotal game in the series. Great job!

Now the NBA has blatantly rewarded the dirty play of the Spurs by suspending the player who called out their Sweet Angels. This should incentivize teams to utilize dirty tactics so it would be in the best interest of the Suns to intentionally take Duncan and Parker out with some of their worthless bench players. Burke and Piatkowski can be Phoenix legends!

**Seattle Slew** · 05-16-07, 12:45 PM

Sounds like good strategy. Might be a brawl tonight. Stu might suspend everyone and play 3-on-3 in Game 6 in San Antonio.

Again, just classless words from isetcap. These are players with families and livelihoods. Duncan and Parker are good guys and don;t deserve this crap. You want to go after Bowen? Fine. Go after him. Go after Horry if you take exception. Go after Manu for his flopping. But that's disgraceful to wish injury on guys like Duncan and Parker. Nash wasn't hurt at all. Not a bit. But you think intentionally trying to hurt Duncan and Parker because they are the most valuable players to S.A. is acceptable? Again, just disgraceful.

Wish my book allowed me to wager on the prop wagers they put up.

I'm not a big fan of Greg Anthony, but he just made a pretty strong point, and I don't really disagree with the decision any longer. Assuming he is correct, there were 0 instances of players crossing the line last year and none this year before the Diaw/Stoudemire thing. Everyone knows the rule, and frankly, the hit on Nash was maybe the third or fourth dirtiest play this playoff season.

**Dark Horse** · 05-17-07, 07:30 PM

I stopped listening to Greg Anthony when I realized that every time he takes a position it's in favor of the defensive team.
