should there be retaliation on the spurs

[bootfunkzilla]

should we bait the spurs into a similar situation by having one of our bench players take out their top three players

 

[Divide Et Impera]

Yes.

 

[Griffin]

The problem with that is the league will say we retaliated intentionally, and take away our draft picks for the next 10 years. We are allowed to get kicked, but we are not allowed to kick back.

 

[Nasser22]

Definitely. Too bad we don't have a Tractor Traylor-type though. If only KT wasn't so important this series....

 

[goldseraph]

I think we should get Pat Burke in there and have him throw Parker or Ginosili into the stands, maybe injuring one of their guys will get the message thru.

 

[Tom777]

All I know is, Pat Burke has 6 fouls to give.

I want the Spurs to remember every single one.

Dont hurt anyone, but make Parker think twice about cutting to the lane.

 

[az1965]

Absolutely! At least take one of their key player out, Duncan or Parker, preferably...

Is that a joke or does that really happen?

If the team can't do it, the fans better.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I wonder if Colangelo could get on the phone and call Fortson.

 

[bootfunkzilla]

Has there been an instance when this has happened

 

[wsupkid]

Sad to say yes. I never thought I would think this evil. but yes!

 

[RingtheBell]

I am going to the game extra early.

You have to disguise it as a hard, physical play... Swing elbow hard on the face of Parker or Duncan while trying to block or grab rebound. Unfortunately, we don't have anyone like that on our team. I don't expect Burke to be able to pull that one off. But must try.

Kobe got suspended for that this year.

No retalaition. The rewards do not match the potential consequences.

 

[bootfunkzilla]

When we shoot throw an elbow in the defenders face

It's as much as a joke as the ruling today. At this point anything is possible.

I'm all for one these "mere coincidences." Maybe if we're lucky Ron Artest will come out of no where and shank Ginobli or something.

I'm really disappointed in you guys. If you were coaching a Middle School team, and this sort of things happened, would you tell your kids to be thugs back to the other team? I hope not.

The Suns need (and I think will) take the high road. I know you guys are frustrated, and you all want a Championship as badly as I do, but at what cost? I'd rather not win, than win by being dirty cheats like San Antonio.

 

[Dr. Jones]

This is easy..... don't sugar coat it at all. Duncan in the post.... Burke crushes his forearms when he turns to the paint. Then we see what happens next.

 

[Nasser22]

Mike Tyson lives in Phoenix I think. Maybe he will threaten to eat their children for us.

 

[bootfunkzilla]

What is making me sick is how chicken stern is by not showing his face at the game

 

[bootfunkzilla]

Good point

But I think the point of everything we've seen is that the rewards do exceed the consequences.

If burke goons it up, and injures somebody and he gets suspended, so what? Horry did get suspended, but it means nothing, they got what they wanted.

I cant believe I'm saying this, but yes, if we are about to lose the game tomorrow I would try and hurt one of the key spurs players with a goon (if not burke, jumaine jones is an underrated candidate).

At this point, I'm so mad that I don't care. I want an injured Spurs starter. If you don't like it, you can go watch high school basket ball.

 

[Chaplin]

Screw retaliation. We need to win. We need to show the Spurs that we aren't afraid of them and their tactics. If we deliberately try to injure or attack one of their players, that makes us no better than they are.

I say NO to retaliation--but YES to winning. Take care of business.

And for the love of God, the Phoenix crowd NEEDS to support the team for the entire 48 minutes!
