What's all this about the Spurs not being a dirty team?

Anybody catch the Robert Horry forearm to the face of Steve Nash? That, after Bruce Bowen's knee to the groin, and Amare is starting to look more and more right as the series progresses.

I think they're just trying to push Steve Nash, to try to get him to snap and do something that'll get him suspended for a critical game.

2. The NBA is going to have to review its policy on suspensions

The ESPN guys were talking as if all the Suns should have been suspended just for standing up and taking two steps toward where Nash was lying on the ground after bouncing off the scorer's table.

Horrey should be out for at least a game; no one else for now.

3. Right.

I've ony read about it. But it sounds like an ugly incident. I think there should be a significant consequence for this type of thing.

4. technically, Amare did go on the court

But was yanked back immediately.

The Suns tried to say that he was going to check into the game anyways.

It would be unfair if Amare got suspended because of what Horry did.

5. Not only that, it would completely reward Horrey

The Suns' players were never out of control, they stepped out and stepped back. In the meantime, their player is lying stunned on the floor.

I didn't like San Antonio before and now I really don't like them!

6. The rules and history say

that the two Suns have to be suspended a game. Also, history doesnt say they have to suspend Horry. So go figure.
