Thunder @ Suns 03-30-11

According to Gentry the league office has been notified and the league is launching an investigation. Gentry also said he stands by DD and says what the REF did was uncalled for.

So...it happened. The Players are suppose to receive league office phone calls in the coming days regarding investigating the incident.

Thanks man. (I thought he had been reading my posts lately)

You don't usually see him scream expletives at the officials, no.

are you kidding? you always see Nash yelling at officials when he doesn't get calls and gets banged down the lane.

And if the overwhelming majority of people get their sports news from ESPN, they'd just be unaware that anything even happened, right? Just the way Stern wants it.

but haven't we already discussed that the majority of the other news outlets haven't said a peep about it either?

It does not make this a non-story. It just doesn't.

in this day and age, if a story has legs, it'll surface. if it doesn't it'll die. way it goes.

I've missed maybe 5 Suns games in 5 years. Did you not read his lips last night? It does not happen that often.

For someone who thinks this is a non-story, you are spending quite some time arguing about it....

dude, i haven't been on here much lately, so maybe you don't know this about me, but i argue about trivialities all the time... especially when i'm procrastinating writing something i'm having a hard time cracking... like right now.

agree to disagree. I love Nash to death (one of the reason I don't want to see him end his career on this go nowhere team) but he ******* a ton to the refs.

Cheese Warz!!!!

Steve Nash is easily the least respected superstar player in the league when it comes to officiating. The guy gets beat up and rarely gets calls.

It's not just about complaining...it was a vociferous display of directed expletives...you know...the kind players usually get ejected for.

Thanks for that report.

Mauer has a history of hysteria:

I see both sides of this. I agree 100% that Steve doesn't get the calls he deserves. He often ends up on his butt with no call. He on countless occasions deserves an AND1 and doesn't get it.

Having said that, Steve complains alot. I have noticed that since he has gotten here. I think the refs have a high tolerance for the amount of complaining he does.

It weird because they don't give him the calls he deserves and yet they look the other way with his complaining. Maybe that is the way they offset not making the calls.

brace yourself for this message board afficianados...

i could be wrong!

Good thread. 2 cheeses are better than one.

That's exactly what it is. IMO he has every right to complain because he isn't called fairly. I'm not saying they have to call him like a superstar, but if there's a foul, they need to actually call a foul. You know, like the rules say.

SA was indeed lucky to be able to have two #1 overall picks to select David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

I'd say so considering Phoenix has NEVER had the number one overall pick.

Here's an article on the double ejection:

Towards the end of this video, you'll see a replay of what Brooks did to get ejected. Looks like he was clownin at the ref after Dowdell got tossed.

That was what i noticed too, he needs to chill. he is not the only teammate on the court. Brooks in his few weeks probably have more technical than Dudley.
