Is there any worry that the Pistons are getting worn down again like they did in the Cavs series last year? I really hope the Cavs close out the Nets tonight so they can sit and watch the Pistons play the Bulls. In the little bit of the game that I watched last night I wasn't impressed by either team.

I agree, when they have rest they play so well, see game game 1 and 2 from this series and half of game 3, but now that they are 9 games into the playoffs they are playing as well...Last year was the same they came out and whipped us and then died to the end of the series only to come back and beat us when they totally overmatched us and then they got blown out of the gym by Miami...

Hopefully Chicago can extend the game to 7 games, and we can sit on a couple days rest after a win tonite to send the Nets fishing...

I think that the Suns still have a chance to win game 5. As long as they have Nash, I'll give them a chance. Losing their leader and point guard would hurt them much more than Stoudemire. Hopefully Nash will rise to the occasion for the game.

Just watched parts of ATH and PTI and I just laugh at the idiots complaining that this isnt' fair. Gee, maybe Tony Parker should have been suspended too to even things out? :roll1:

Hmm...woudl the media idiots be acting so outraged if it was 2 Suns benchwarmers who had gotten suspended? So, it matters that one of the dumbasses was a star? :roll1:

The other thing that was interesting in the highlights shown by PTI is the idea that Stoudamire was nowhere near the altercation is wrong. He was close enough that the official between Nash and Horry actually turned around to face Stoudamire and then only went back to Horry/Nash when he saw the coaches were pulling Amare back.

Close enough that the official noticed him...too close. His stupid ass deserves the suspension.

Which lends the question...

Who would win a fight between Boris Diaw and Tony Parker?

Boris Diaw is actually going to be The Best Man at the Tony Parker-Eva Longoria wedding.

And I don't need to turn in my man card for knowing that. It was mentioned during a game broadcast a few days ago. :wink2:

Great read from ESPN - Page 2
You can't blame them for the Stoudemire-Diaw suspensions because they correctly interpreted a stupid ... rule. Can you blame them for having that rule in the first place? Yes. But you can't blame them for the actual interpretation -- after all, Stoudemire and Diaw did leave their bench during an altercation, just like Tom Brady's right arm was still coming down as Charles Woodson popped him in the Tuck Rule Game.
...
Here's the problem with that stupid, idiotic, foolish, moronic, brainless, unintelligent, foolhardy, imprudent, thoughtless, obtuse and thickheaded rule: It's currently designed as a black-or-white law that leaves no room for interpretation. As Barkley pointed out on TNT, Stoudemire and Diaw stopped after a few steps and never escalated the situation. In a way, it played out as poorly as the tuck rule did.
...
The bothersome thing is that both rules should have been changed.

Now here's where the NBA failed: For a league that professes to be concerned about dirty play and any situation that could lead to a brawl, the league has curiously looked the other way with the single dirtiest player in the league. If he pulled this crap on a pickup court, or even in college intramurals, somebody would have punched Bowen in the face and broken his jaw. In the NBA? He gets to keep doing his thing and putting other players in danger.

So don't blame the NBA higher-ups for the way they interpreted that stupid, idiotic, foolish, moronic, brainless, unintelligent, foolhardy, imprudent, thoughtless, obtuse and thickheaded rule. Blame them for having the rule itself. Blame them for allowing the league to morph into something that doesn't quite resemble basketball anymore. Blame them for a league in which basketball players aren't totally allowed to think and act like basketball players and teammates aren't totally allowed to think and act like teammates. Blame them for an ongoing double standard in which the Bruce Bowens of the league can willfully endanger other players, but a roundhouse swipe on an attempted block can get someone ejected if they miss by a scant 10 inches while moving at full speed. Blame them for dubious officiating that's compromised the playoffs to the degree that an increasing number of fans are wondering where the WWE ends and the NBA begins.
