May 15, 200719 yr Hypothetical for ya.....A player is at the other end of the floor....He gets slammed head first to the ground by an opponent (kinda like a hockey check). You don't think his teammates have the right to go and defend him? What do you mean you act like I am defending the rule which I am not at all.
May 15, 200719 yr It was a 2nd time thing though....Completely different. But the appeal wasn't heard thats the point.
May 15, 200719 yr What do you mean you act like I am defending the rule which I am not at all. Rules are changed all the time due to extreme circumstances....This is one of those times. No reason at all that Amare or Diaw should be suspended.
May 15, 200719 yr But the appeal wasn't heard thats the point. There was no reason to hear an appeal....It was the 2nd time it happened. If you hit someone like that once, it can be seen as unintentional, when it happens twice there is intent.

May 15, 200719 yr There was no reason to hear an appeal....It was the 2nd time it happened. If you hit someone like that once, it can be seen as unintentional, when it happens twice there is intent. There is no reason to hear this one it a rule and they broke it. Bottom line.
May 15, 200719 yr Didn't they say Amare was getting up to go check in? If you watched the tape, that could be what was happening, though I doubt it.
May 15, 200719 yr Like what? I'm not speaking strictly sports, but rules in general are changed in extreme circumstances.
May 15, 200719 yr There is no reason to hear this one it a rule and they broke it. Bottom line. Never said they should appeal. Just that the Kobe incident was completely different.
May 15, 200719 yr This is the freaking playoffs. No one outside of San Antonio wanted Amare and Diaw out of Game 5.
May 15, 200719 yr You would think the NBA would look at this from a logic standpoint....No one outside of SA and Det want to see those two in the finals. The ratings will be horrible. By suspending Diaw and Amare they are basically losing millions of dollars...
May 15, 200719 yr Not that it matters much, but if you go to espn.com they have a poll about if the suspensions were fair. 72% say no.
