League SHOULD SUSPEND TERRY FOR ONE GAME

[ARZCardinals]

He threw a punch at Nash...almost hitting him in the nutz. It may have not been Terry, but IT WAS A PUNCH.

A closed fist swung at Nash's gut...just because he didn't hurt him and he was close to the ball means nothing...that AND the play was WAY OVER.

suspend his arse as you should.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Agreed. Period

 

[DeAnna]

When was that?? I remember seeing him kinda swing his arm low across Nash's abdoment (towards the groin area) when Nash was driving to the basket but it looked like a swing, not a punch.

Sure, suspend the guy for swiping at the ball and not letting Nash get a shot up for the 3 point play...you guys are hilarious.

Suspend Bell for that cheap shot after the whistle after the ball had left Howard's hand when he pushed him like a punk in the back for no other reason than to be dirty...that's what should be suspended.

Sun-colored-glasses, are what you're looking through...

No plays last night warrant a suspension.

 

[Nasser22]

Raja shouldn't be suspended for that. That was a bad enought technical call as it is and one of you players did the same thing on the other side of the floor after that....lol. I don't think Terry should be suspended, but if Cuban is going to be a bitch and send video of Marion doing....nothing...Terry should be suspended too.

A push in the side after the play is over is no where near as bad as a punch being thrown. The league has been pretty clear that if you throw a punch, you get suspended. I didn't see if Terry's fist was closed or not, but he definately swung his arm down towards nash's nuts 2 seconds after the whistle was blown. A technical had already been assessed for the same type of foul on Raja (which wasn't much of a foul at all) so Terry's actions can be seen as retaliatory. If his fist is closed then I could see the league suspending him for his 2nd low blow of the playoffs.

If Cuban sends that video of Marion and Griffin in to the league, he'll just look like a moron. There wasn't anything there bad enough to do that.

Punch, my butt...check your TiVo. Yeah, he went at the "ball", not the "balls" and you need to get a new stopwatch on the time there, pal.

Hey, after that call in this game, my team and coach didn't self-destruct when the refs made a stupid, yet consistent call...the Mavs took it, and your guys folded...much like the Mavs folded in Game 4 in Phoenix.

Here's to game 6. Go Mavs!

OT: I really like this m-board's interface...little different than others I've been on.

How was this a consistent call? Only because Terry made a worse foul later in the game and they called that too? That doesn't make the 1st foul a consistent foul. Normally when a player makes a retalliatory foul like terry did, the penalties are worse because the teams have been warned.

Weren't you one of those who screamed for a Walton suspension because his play was more dangerous than Raja's on Kobe due to Thomas being in the air? Funny how in this situation when Howard was in the air and Raja pushed him clearly after the whistle everything is fine. Meanwhile when Nash gets a cheap shot on the ground then the guy committing the cheapshot deserves a suspension. Something doesn't add up.

Face reality - no play last night warrants a suspension.

 

[jbeecham]

I said if Terry threw a punch (closed fist) at Nash then there should be a suspension, but I didn't see if his fist was closed. The NBA has made it very clear that a punch thrown equals a suspension.

The TT-Walton play was a flagrant foul on a dunk attempt where Walton hit TT in the head/neck/shoulder area violently while he was in mid-air and TT came crashing to the ground......how is the Raja push on Howard similar? It wasn't a flagrant foul, it was a push on his hip and Howard didn't fall to the ground.

The only reason people on this board complained about no suspension for Walton or Kwame Brown (which probably merited one more than Walton) is because of the double standard set by the league offices against Raja Bell in the Kobe takedown. Raja deserved a suspension, but the Lakers players probably could've gotten suspensions as well (Walton for commiting such a hard foul in the 1st few minutes of a game and Kwame for flooring Diaw & then standing over him and taunting him, yet neither were even ejected). Why even bring this up, it was weeks ago.

I swear people don't read my posts, they just see I posted something and assume it's the extreme. This is the 2nd time in 2 days that I've been accused of demanding suspensions against Mavs players and I didn't either time.

If anyone actually has pictures or video showing conclusive evidence that Terry made a fist as he hit Nash on that play then they should send it to Paul Coro of the AZ Republic because he will forward it on to the team (he did that in the Walton Foot out of bounds jumpball play and the Suns were unaware of him being out of bounds and filed a complaint to the league).

Troll? 9 messages.

Seriously, when we played against Clippers, there were almost no trolls.

Screw Terry. He should not be suspended, though.

I want him there in Game 6/7, so he can take his whoopin' like a man. I'm going to enjoy seeing him have a tight sphincter when things get close.

As long as we can take this series up to game 7 and Pistons can take it game 7 as well, we will win game 7. I totally believe in it. We just need some rest. Nash is tired and Diaw seems tired too. When we have more than 2 day rest, we have shown to blow out teams. I don't think we can blow Mavs out at their home court but we will win game 7 and Nash will embarrase Terry again and Dirk will fold in game 7. Let the history repeat itself again.

Sun-colored-glasses, are what you're looking through...

this is a suns message board so i dont know what you expect.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

The problem with the play IMO was not that it was an open or closed fist, the problem with the play is that Terry hit Nash very hard 2-3 SECONDS after the whistle was blown. It was totally uncalled for, and unnecessary. That is why I said that the foul should be a flagrant foul. The only reason why Terry should be suspended, is because this is the 2nd time in this postseason where Terry has made a completely uncalled for, and unnecessary action that could have seriously injured someone.

He expects getting trashed. He is getting it.

Then Suns' owner or coach should send the tape to the office and let them review it? Enough bitching about it. Show some actions. I am sure Cuban has already prepared everything and probably annoyed the hell of Stern.

omg, he wasn't directing it at his nuts. he swiped at the ball. when the ball is held around your midsection and you swipe from top to bottom that's the natural place for your hand to end up. it's called human anatomy and physics people.

this is dumbest thread this board has ever seen. i'm actually embarrassed that it exists.

it was a technical. it was the correct call. you guys are ridiculous. i am beginning to hate this board during the playoffs. it seems to magnify everyone's myopia.

I agree with your points in this thread about the foul, but this post is pot calling the kettle black. You are just as guilty as everyone else--not as extreme, maybe, but certainly just as guilty.

hey chap - who designated you board defender? were you even involved in this discussion or did you just have to get personal here and be a douchebag like you always are?

 

[Joe Mama]

Come on people. There's no way that play warranted a suspension, and I would be embarrassed if the Phoenix Suns sent in a tape requesting a suspension. like Ouchie I'm embarrassed this thread is even here, but I really don't like deleting threads.

You may be right, the play in itself does not warrant a suspension, but I call this the Artest effect. Anything Artest does, is looked through a microscope, because of his history. Because this was his 2nd violation if you will, that is why he should have been suspended.

If this was an isolated incident in these playoffs, I would be on this side as well.

 

[nowagimp]

I did not see a punch thrown. Where is the video showing a punch? This discussion is pointless unless a punch was actually thrown.
