You have to know that they are craving a Celtics vs Lakers final...

I am dumbfounded... just dumbfounded... I do not understand this decision at all...

Edit: I would love to hear Stern explain himself out of this one...

Edit #2: "It was not deemed an altercation." wow... wow..........

Of course you understand, he was wrong, screwed up last year, but cant admit it in public(do lawyers/sterns ever admit mistakes?). Stern doesnt care to explain anything, the news outlets are suppressing the event, because they know it would screw up the playoffs. The NBA wants to see the celtics in the finals, and they certainly dont want to mar the celts record turnaround season with a stupid rule, that kind of screwup shouldnt happen again. it shouldnt have happened int he first place. Note how all those who defended the NBA's action last year are quiet, very quiet. At least now every one knows, there is no standard for an "altercation" or the suspension of players who leave the bench.

Altercation or no altercation, how did they get around this one? Since Garnett had two hands on him, one holding his arm, it looked pretty intentional.

PHYSICAL CONTACT-SUSPENSION
Any player or coach guilty of intentional physical contact with an official shall automatically be suspended without pay for one game. A fine and/or longer period of suspension will result if circumstances so dictate.

Probably worse than losing out on Kareem. **** the NBA. I dont care about the Garnett suspension but the Perkins/Wlliams situation is ********.

I feel completely opposite...IF, they had the balls to say it WAS a freaking altercation. It was as much, or more, than the Nash/Horry altercation. I just don't think he was in violation, but damn if that was not an altercation.

And KG should have been bounced for pushing the ref. The more I see it, the more I'm sure of it.

Idiotic.

I was just about to post this... both players said they broke the rule... yet the higher ups did not agree...

Anyone here think that if it was Amare who did the same exact thing as KG that he wouldn't have been suspended. There is no doubt in my mind that douche-bag Stern wouldn't have even thought about it for a second. Amare would have been toast.

I really feel bad for what they did last year to Amare and Diaw. As a Spurs fan, I just thought it was justice, now I don't know what to think. the NBA sucks. GSG!

wow! boris & stat get suspended for physically crossing a line.


Kidd gets to grab someone by the head, and attempt to toss him down.
gets tossed, but not suspended even though its reviewed & ruled as an F2.

KG gets to shove a ref off of him, nothing.
players leave the court, nothing.

Does anyone really believe that Stern doesn't Hate the Suns?

:thud:

i defended the NBA's decision after their ruling last year but the double standard not effecting the Celtics is infuriating. What a joke. Maybe Stern really does have something against us. I mean, it's not like that series hasn't even been chippy with the throat slashing, trash talking and hard fouls on Pierce that's been going on. This is like a carbon copy of the circumstances which came down last year. How is NO ONE held accountable for anything here?

Because douche-bag Stern wants the Celtics in the Finals.

Considering he came off the bench in a altercation?
.


You cant be serious! I would love that he would be suspended cause i hate the celtics but clearly he stood up and was on the edge of the court just watching and cheering the play. He took one step forward as the play finished. (prior to the confrontation) He never moved forward from that point and when the confrontation started, the coach stood in front of him and he stepped back. Your bitterness over last year is clouding your objectivity. Again, I wish he would be suspended but cleary this does not warrant it.

does David Stern even show up at the All-Star game next year? If he does, as an olive branch to our fans, he and the Suns should arrange a playful moment where the Gorilla smacks him in the face with a chocolate cream pie, but right before it happens, someone switches that pie for a plate of suns-fans diahrreah covered with whip-cream and THAT'S what Stern gets in the face. A mouthful of our crap after we've had to swallow his.

sheesh, go over to Spurstalk. even THEY have sympathy for us right now.

it warrants it just as much as Boris being suspended, who basically did the exact same thing. Not to mention KG blatantly throwing an elbow at someone's head, starting the altercation and then throwing a ref off of him to get back into it.

look, I'm someone who AGREED with the suspensions last year but for the above to happen and for no one to get any kind of penalty just WREAKS of double-standard.

Perkins took about 3 small steps onto the court and the coach (who was sitting on the bench) had to come out and grab him and pull him back. Check the very beginning of the video.


WOW! Objectively watch the start. He came off the bench to cheer the play. There was no whistle yet. Just as the whistle for the foul was being blown he took one step and was raising his arm to give the "and one" motion he did. He was cheering the play!! He never made a step forward from there. When the altercation ensued he stepped back at the instance of the coach.

Im not arguing the garnett scenario... suspend him. I'd love it. And believe me when i say i would love perkins to be suspended as well, but he never made a move due to the altercation. His standing up, and being where he was was all prior and responding to the play prior to the call, heck the ball wasnt even shot and he was already standing there. It's so obvioous i really dont understand how anyone can see it differently but i will respect your right to do so.

Maybe I'm to close to the situation to be impartial. However, this situation looks similar enough to our situation last year, how can a suspension not be handed down?

There was clearly an on court altercation between KG and Zaza, during that altercation Marvin Williams and Kendrick Perkins left the vicinity of the bench, therefore according to the "letter of the law" they should each be suspended.

Someone's got a lot of explaining to do.

I think maybe you are to close. Perkins was clearly already standing there cheering prior to the shot being attempted and giving the and one motion when the foul on the shot was called. Once the altercation started he stepped back. No move forward was made during or post altercation. My 2 cents.... and i would love nothing more than for him to be suspended. Just calling it as i see it.

even PERKINS said he broke the rule. How much more obvious does it need to get to you? And he didn't start moving forward INTO THE COURT until KG threw that elbow. i don't know what the hell you're watching, but he started moving AFTER the whistle was blown on Garnett's elbow.

the above is a joke. There's no and one motion. He's not even on the court until AFTER Garnett throws the elbow, which is after the play is over.

"making the and one" motion... while there's a lose ball on the ground and KG's throwing an elbow at someone's head? That's a joke man.

Weird, I saw the exact opposite. I'm certainly not calling you a liar, but it seemed to me like Perkins clearly came on court after the altercation had started. I'll have to watch it again, but in the clip I have seen you can't even see Perkins before the altercation.

agreed. and you can see him. He stands up as the shot goes up, but just stands there, then there's a scrum for the ball, an elbow thrown AND THEN he moves on to the court.
