Fan lash out at the NBA!

Well it seems that the NBA has finally gone and done it. They have manipulated games for years and it is beginning take a toll on the fans. Blog’s across the country are on fire with posters who agree and disagree with the NBA latest ruling to suspend Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw. Is it possible that this could be a positive for the NBA? No, but it sure draws attention to NBARefsSuck.com!

The controversy started with Amare going public with complaints that Bruce Bowen is a dirty player and intentionally tried to injure him. Let me state for the record that I don’t believe Bowen is dirty, he does play at a level of intensity that is always going to rub offensive player the wrong way! Next comes the Bowen knee to Steve Nash’s, how do you say it nicely, twig and berries.

Now there were plenty of fouls the Suns committed against the Spurs that could have been deemed dirty and more likely to cause injury. But the Spurs, as they have in the past, choose to keep their mouths shut and decided not give the opposing team material for the chalkboard. A sure sign of a dirty team!

Maybe you can tell that I take issue with the media not bothering to tell the truth. The national media has been calling the Spurs, Tim Duncan and David Robinson soft for years! Now, all of a sudden, when there is a story to sell. They are more than happy to jump on the bandwagon and reap the rewards of the “Spurs are Dirty” train. I call bullshit! Is there not one national media writer who has the, how do I say it, berries to call this what it is! BULLSHIT!

Back to how we got to the fans lashing out at the NBA. Game 4(four) in San Antonio and the Suns are in a must win game. Spurs have had a strangle hold on the game for 3 quarters and half way through the forth quarter the refs decide it’s time to even up the game and let the players decide the game. No calls, phantom calls and bad calls slow the Spurs and give the Suns the momentum. Suns regain the lead and everyone is amazed when the Spurs take out their frustration on Steve Nash, Robert Horry sending Nash into the scoring table with a hip-check the rivals the NHL. Sure it’s wrong and Robert Horry is most probably going to end his amazing career with an ugly mark he doesn’t really deserve and nickname “Big Shot Bob” with more than one meaning. Amare and Diaw charge of bench, never really getting involved in the altercation on the floor. But the NBA rules clearly states that if you leave the bench area during an altercation that player will receive a one game suspension and a $35,000 fine.

Horry suspended for 2 games, Amare and Diaw are suspended for one game each. Now the self anointed most exciting team in the league has to play without two of their starters because they over reacted to Steve Nash’s over acting! That’s right I said it, Steve Nash flopped two of his own players out of game 5 of the best series in years. The Spurs lose a 12 minute clutch player for game 5 and 6. By my estimation the Suns shot themselves in the foot because the NBA manipulates games for entertainment value and the sponsors who buy commercials at he end of games!

Oh yeah by the way! The real most exciting offensive team, the media princess Dallas Mavs already got booted in the first round by a much tougher 8th seed.

NBA Refs Suck this we already know. They have been making bad calls all year. But bad calls aren’t the real problem, I have always said that the refs are going to miss calls, they are human. But manipulating the game to make it close is a complete outrage as far as I’m concerned. The Suns fans are blaming the Spurs, Bruce Bowen, Robert Horry and even Tim Duncan when the probably should be pointing the (middle) finger at the NBA, NBA REFS and the media.
