Videos of the Year: Robert Horry Body Checking Steve Nash Was Only the Beginning
Published 12/28/2007 at FanIQ Blog
Shockingly, we've already entered this portion of the calendar. It's time to do that year in review sort of thing, so over the final days of 2007 we'll be looking back on the top sports events as highlighted by FanIQ. Since I'm hardly a wordsmith, you'll notice this amounts to a video recap ... Who could forget this play and the conversation that ensued over the following hours, days, and weeks. In the final minutes of Game 4, Cheap Shot Bob body checked Steve Nash into the scoring table right in front of the Suns bench. Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw momentarily left the bench and ...

Anyone Still Want to Change that Leave the Bench Rule?
Published 2/22/2008 at ESPN.com - True Hoop - Blog
Remember when Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were suspended for leaving the bench during an altercation in Game 5 of Phoenix's series against San Antonio? Give me a break. Of course you remember. It's all anyone talked about for about six months there. Not that it matters, but my take has been that in this case the NBA handled things perfectly. Like a speeding ticket on the way to the emergency room, the rule sucked in this instance. But it's a good rule that prevents untold bench-clearing brawls, in a league that has a constant challenge convincing fans its players aren't dangerously irresponsible. The league simply needs bench players to ...

The NHL Is More Flexible Than the NBA
Published 4/15/2008 by Simon at SimonOnSports
Last year the postseason was almost single handily ruined by the stiffness of NBA Commissioner David Stern and his insistence on following the NBA rules. Instead of watching the video below and thinking to himself "Well technically they broke the rule, but really they just left the bench, were stopped by their coaching staff and were never in a position to escalate the situation. I should let it go and let them play in the biggest series of the year." Instead of having common sense to adapt the rules in the postseason Stern lived by the book and eliminated all drama in the only thrilling matchup he had. In stark contrast, Gary Bettman acted ...

Has David Stern Become Completely Inept?
Published 4/15/2008 by Chris at Intentional Foul
It’s hard to believe the man who oversaw the Renaissance of the NBA (thanks in large part to Michael, Larry, and Magic) is now allowing some of the eye-opening stuff that’s been going on. First off, how long has he been Clay Bennett’s pocket? I find it hard to believe Stern is essentially defecating on the Seattle fans and their franchise because Clay Bennett wants a team in Oklahoma City. A noted hot-bed of NBA action if there ever was one. Not only has he allowed Bennett to run roughshod over the Sonic fanbase, he’s shows very little remorse for a team/city that’s actually ...

Spurs-Suns Could be Among Best in History
Published 4/18/2008 by Dingo at San Antonio Spurs Dynasty
The 2008 playoffs just started an hour ago and conventional wisdom has it that the Celtics will face the Lakers in the Finals and the San Antonio Spurs' season might be over two weeks from now. No doubt, with all the drama of last year's series, when Robert Horry checked Steve Nash into the scorer's table during game four and Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw were suspended for game five for leaving the bench, the first round matchup between the Spurs and Suns is the series to watch. Dan Bickley writes for The Arizona Republic: As battle-scarred basketball fans in the Valley can attest, the Suns meet almost all the requirements ...

#3 San Antonio Spurs vs. #6 Phoenix Suns 1st Round Western Conference
Published 4/19/2008 by mizzo at The Starting Five
amare.jpg Does it look like Amare wants a ring? Shaq or Tim Duncan has played in the last nine NBA Finals and have 4 championship rings apiece. Shaq has been the most dominant player of his generation; Duncan the most steady. The competitive regular season in the Western Conference absolutely means nothing. The monster trade of one of the most dynamic athletes of our time will pay dividends right now. We all heard all the bs pundits scream like chicks about how this trade was going to foul up the Suns winning program and I have to say…what winning program? What have the suns won besides fan and media acclaim? Shaq is Shaq. This move was imperative for the Suns to ...

NBA CEMENTS STANDING AS THE STUPIDEST LEAGUE IN WORLD HISTORY; FINES PIERCE FOR "MENACING GESTURE"
Published 4/28/2008 by BP at I *Heart* Celtics
This league always manages to surprise me with its stupidity. As if jilting one of the best fanbases in the league by encouraging (yes, ENCOURAGING) a sociopathic billionaire to rip a storied franchise and move it to some random cow town wasn't enough, we have now moved into the "overreact about everything" phase of the NBA's yearly plot to destroy the game of basketball. In an unprecedented move, the league fined The Truth $25,000 today for a "menacing gesture." Listen morons, I don't know what that hand signal meant any better than you do, but if Brian Scalabrine rocking the blazer-and-jeans look ...

Ballin’: Robert Horry Strikes Again - Without Scoring
Published 5/16/2008 by TheBigLead at The Big Lead
Last year, Robert Horry memorably shoulder-checked Steve Nash out of bounds, triggering a series of events that got Amare Stoudemire suspended for the next game, helping the Spurs eliminate the Suns in a series San Antonio probably should have lost. Last night, Horry attempted to set a pick on David West from behind - whether there was intent or not is debatable; West jumped and Horry’s shoulder got him in the lower back - and West crumpled to the floor in agony. He had to be helped to the locker room by teammates. After a 38-point performance in game five, West was held to 10 last night, and if he can’t go in game seven - fortunately, ...
