after watching it, it's along the same lines as some of the things bowen does. In the flow of the game, you don't really notice it. After you watch a slow mo replay, you can see a lot of things.

I think Barbosa shouldn't have done that, but I think if they didn't call something right away, you can't GO BACK and suspend him. That goes for stuff Bowen does as well. If they get a T or a flagrant foul, then I think you should look at it.

Was barbosa called for a foul on the play, or just Shaq?

Bowen was suspended for a play that was called as a double foul vs. CP3. My memory is a little hazy, but I think no techs or flagrants were called on that play.

But no, I don't think this Barbosa play deserves a suspension, the Spurs FO whines on this one, and it's pretty embarrassing.

he clearly was trying to smoke ginosely in the face who wouldn't ginosely is pathetic..

with that being said if he gets suspended for that i will be flying to sanantonio.. going on the court during the game and drop kicking ginosely through the backboard..

lets see we get a tainted series last year cause horry is the biggest piece of s-word on the planet..

now we get a ruined series again this year cause spurs even though they are up 2-0.. are trying anything possible to get a cheap advantage..

pathetic..

Your an idiot what Bell did was a foul clearly at the ball and floppy exagurated the hell out of it. If you think that was remotely like Horry body checking Nash into a scorers table your freaking clueless. Spurs aren't going to clear the bench because it was just a foul and they are used to floppy falling on any contact, **** some of them probally didn't think their was any contact they are so used to his little flopping ass hitting the floor so much.

Give me a break. Barbosa doesn't intentionally hit people. Funny that a freaking Laker fan is the biggest proponent here of suspending him when he doesn't even watch the Suns to know that Barbosa would never deliberately do that.

I didn't think too much of it, I don't think it deserves a suspension at all, maybe a tech, and that is probably going a little far.

On the other hand, the end of the game:



I would love to know the reaction of the fans from this.
1) Nash clearly flopped, is that right?
2) What Bell did to Ginobili is pretty much the same as what Horry did to Nash last year. Does Bell deserve a 2-game? Do you see any Spurs players clearing the bench?

Give it up, Spur fan. It was a hard foul, nothing more.

When this play happened live in the game and the replay, I felt like Manu pushed into LB trying to cause a fall. I still believe that, but CLEARLY LB hit him on the way down. LB's actions are not OK and should not be condoned. However, I think that both should be suspended - Manu for trying to fall into LB again and cause him injury again... and LB for slapping him.

On a personal note, I wish LB had closed his fist and swung much harder. 'me no likey Manu'

That Bell foul was hard, but not as bad as the Horry hip check.

Bell's foul was "hard" and "dirty" but smart.... he reached for the ball enough just to make it look flagrant 1. If he went for the head then yeah... but his arm was on the same level as Ginobili's arm and near the ball.... its a hard flagrant... but not a flagrant 2 which will be a suspension...
Ambchang... its not worthy of suspension...

chang get the f off our forum

And all I along, I thought this was a public forum. I didn't know that you own this.

Your an idiot what Bell did was a foul clearly at the ball and floppy exagurated the hell out of it. If you think that was remotely like Horry body checking Nash into a scorers table your freaking clueless. Spurs aren't going to clear the bench because it was just a foul and they are used to floppy falling on any contact, **** some of them probally didn't think their was any contact they are so used to his little flopping ass hitting the floor so much.

Oh yes, it's Ginobili's fault that he flopped on a hard foul, but when Nash exaggerated contact, it was really that powerful because we all know that a hip check would cause Nash to flair his arms in the air. In conclusion, again, Suns never flop as those are legitiment fouls, but the Spurs never gets fouled, they just flop. The only reason the Spurs would have any fouls for them is because they flop and Stern wants the most boring, ratings killing team in the finals. Gotcha.

Give me a break. Barbosa doesn't intentionally hit people. Funny that a freaking Laker fan is the biggest proponent here of suspending him when he doesn't even watch the Suns to know that Barbosa would never deliberately do that.

You know Barbosa? Do you also know Bowen that you can conclusively say that he would deliberately hurt people? Why can't Laker fans comment on Barbosa's play, when Suns fans can comment on Bowen's play? Why are you more credible? At least he was consistent in his assessment on players' activities. If he said Bowen has dirty plays and then said Barbosa is all clean, then that would be hypocritical.

Give it up, Spur fan. It was a hard foul, nothing more.

Which is exactly what could be said of Horry's fouls. You didn't see bench clearing brawls in this one do you? You don't see Spurs fans calling for Bell's head do you?

And Nash was planted as well and Floppy rammed right through him was it a charge YES do I expect to get that call in that situation in SA...hell NO.

LOL, do you know how a charge works? Ginobili has the rights to the space when he left his feet. Nash set his AFTER Ginobili took off, watch the video again. Oh wait, I forgot, the league should change their rules to benefit the Suns, or else they are biased against them.

When this play happened live in the game and the replay, I felt like Manu pushed into LB trying to cause a fall. I still believe that, but CLEARLY LB hit him on the way down. LB's actions are not OK and should not be condoned. However, I think that both should be suspended - Manu for trying to fall into LB again and cause him injury again... and LB for slapping him.

What? Manu should be suspended because he was put in a headlock by Shaq and pushed down by Barbosa? Sometimes, the integrity and credibility of Suns fans really put a shining light as to how fans all over the world should behave.

That Bell foul was hard, but not as bad as the Horry hip check.

Bell's foul was "hard" and "dirty" but smart.... he reached for the ball enough just to make it look flagrant 1. If he went for the head then yeah... but his arm was on the same level as Ginobili's arm and near the ball.... its a hard flagrant... but not a flagrant 2 which will be a suspension...
Ambchang... its not worthy of suspension...

I must have missed the part where the Spurs were shooting flagrants on that.

BTW, I had no problem with that foul, I don't think a suspension should be granted, I just wonder why people are not up in arms and calling Bell dirty and calling for his suspension in this forum given the reaction of last year's foul, as well as why the Spurs player didn't clear the bench and got themselves suspended.

Manu is the biggest exaggerator in the league... just like a soccer player.

Yes, therefore, it is Ginobili's fault for being put into a headlock and pulled down by Barbosa. SUSPEND HIM!

two flops in one play by Manure who shows his versatility by diving face first then backwards. What a joke. Monkey Butt is my name, flopping is my game. Oh and the WWF called.

I agree, the Suns never fouled, it's just that the Spurs always flops.

Also, the Suns never flops, because those are always legitimate fouls.

Suns are always nice, play with integrity, and their fans are always credible and unbiased.

Suns never lose, they just can't overcome external biases against them.

Ambchang, everyone knows you defend bowen kicking wally in the face while shooting and you bring up an arm contact foul at most an an example of a "dirty play"? Go away!

When you can't argue, lie.

nashman, you're outta your friggin' mind. i wanted to find some difference, and other than the fact that it is a shoulder rather than a hip, and the fact that floppi doesn't go flying in the air into a stanchion, the two plays are very similar in intent and timing.

dude, you made one good post. then you go back to this crap. you have no idea who barbs is. what type of player he is. what type of rep he has. to compare him to bowen is just laughable. almost so much so that it's almost not worth addressing. but that said, spend all day, no, i'll let you spend all week . . . search the internet, watch every youtube video available. find me two more controversial clips of barbs. now give me, what, 10 minutes to find 20 of bowen. get the point? one earns a rep, the other has NO rep. see the world of difference? the dude with no rep gets the benefit of the doubt, the dude who regularly plays so recklessly with others' careers gets no benefit of the doubt.

so playing skinner over barbs would be a godsend? What are you smoking?

When have you EVER seen Barbs have a good game against the Spurs? What games have you been watching?

Skinner is a TO every two times he touches the ball and guarantees the defense will collapse into the lane on amare. At least with LB, they dont want him to stand out on the 3pt line alone. ANd besides if skinner is an upgrade, why would pops want LB suspended? Funny how the spurs, up 2-0 want a suspension of barbosa to help them win game 3.

Just Shaq.

I watched that play over and over again during the game. He slammed the hell out of him. I thought it was a great hard foul. I also rewound a play in the Lakers game when Pau fouled Kleiza super hard, and Kleiza ends up kicking Luke in the head. I thought it was terribly funny.

A bit bush to ask for the suspension, IMO.

It was a good hard foul. It wasn't an accident. but it wasn't all that malicious either.

The Spurs of all teams shouldn't ask for a suspension.

If anything came of it, I'd say Barbs should be assessed a Flagrant 1, pay the fine and be done with it. It is NOT suspendable.
