Why would you edit the nickname I used for L.A.???? I didn't refer to them as the lakers. I also didn't curse or cross the line. The nickname I used is a fact and Kwame Brown proved that Sunday am. Give me a break

Cheese, put away your 'pc'ness".
Bell did what 99% of the players in the NBA would love to do.
Kobe elbowed Bell a bit earlier. Hell ya, it was intentional.
It's about time PHX stood up and started putting butts on the floor.
Let's see if Nash's statement after the game gets through to the front office.
My guess is Bell is gone. Typical crap. Walton clotheslines an in-the-air TT, and gets a tap on the wrist.

Because it is a trolling comment.
No trolling...no cursing.
Works both ways. Period.

They ask Nash if Raja should get suspended. Nash responded by saying it would be a double-standard because of all the bad calls against the Suns in the series. He then brought up the play where Kwame elbowed Diaw and stood over him with his crotch in his face.

Nice job Nash. The Suns need to get in full PR mode immediately to head off the suspension. What about Kobe's elbow to Raja? If our guy is suspended for game 6, so should Kobe.

Like many of you, I love Bell and the intensity and fire he brings to the team but this was definitely crossing the line. You're up 15ish, the game is under control and you pull a dumb move like that that'll likely keep you out of an elimination game, and gives the lakers some locker room material. I feel like Bill walton here but that is inexcusable.
In my opinion, the reason they'll throw the suspension on him is for the extra push to the ground with his right hand after he had already taken him off his feet.
With regards to the rest of the game, the thing I'm most encouraged about is not the fact that our offense got back on track, nor that Marion is proving he's got a pulse, nor the outstanding aggressiveness and overall play from Diaw. The thing I'm most excited about is the fact that when the going got tough, Kobe resorted to his regular season ways. He started to try and score by himself, launching deep threes and trying to get around double teams (which he did a couple of times), and all in all throwing his teammates off sync a bit. Sure, he had some deep 3's and some incredible moves to get to the rack but we've proven we can beat that strategy so if we can provoke that out of him again in Game 6 I'll feel a little better about our chances.

I can't think of any instance where a non-called foul play ended up in a suspension, so this is probably wishful thinking. In either case, that elbow looked like it should have been a foul on kobe, but was inadvertent, and therefore not worthy of a suspension. I am frustrated that Bell was so vindicative over that and put the status of the next game in jeopardy.

Cool. I didn't watch the game tonight and we won. Man, I must be the bad luck one here.
What did Raja do? I hope it's not too serious. Nobody has been suspended since game 1 so I hope Raja doesn't get one. If that's the case, then Walton should get one more for pulling Tim Thomas down like that.
If Raja does get suspended, let's hope the team can respond. Good win, 2 more to go. I won't watch any games from now on.

totally agree - and sly - it's not "pc-ness" - yeah, every player probably WOULD liek to do what Raja did, but the smart ones know they CAN'T. Get your cheap shots in the smart way, take a page out Danny Ainge's book - don't do it right in the middle of open court where it's just so ridiculously blatantly obvious.

What did Nash say? He talked about Walton and Brown's fouls? During the game or in the articles?

Bell shouldn't be suspended. But then it is against Kobe, so you never know...
What did Artest do in the first game to get suspended?

I saw the replay on that Artest's elbow. It happened when Manu was trying to run past Artest and Artest put both of his hands up (not looking at Manu) and the elbow and Manu's face/neck met. I really don't think it was that intentional. You all know Manu flops all the time. It's hard to tell what's real and what's not. Pop got VERY PISSED and started yelling at Artest. I think that's how Artest got his suspension because Pop was unhappy.
