[Game Thread] Houston @ Phoenix Suns 11/12

What exactly did Nash do? Vid? :O

I saw the end of the escalation, but not what Nash did.

 

A flurry of passes led to the Tracy jumper.

No starter is in for Phoenix. They gave up.

 

When Yao and T-Mac were holding Alston and Barnes away from each other, Nash ran in and either shoved or bumped Alston hard, so T-Mac shoved him out of the scuffle. Then Shaq bulldozed everyone lol.

 

Tracy with the turnaround jumper.

Brooks with another layup.

Barbosa fouled by Hayes.

Ron missed the jumper...Brooks fouls Amundson.

 

South Park is almost on, anyone wanna take over?

 

Rafer Alston had set a pick for Tmac. Tmac went around and nailed a three. During the pick, Barnes shoved the shit out of Alston. So after the 3 went in, Alston went up to Barnes and pushed him back. Tmac, the closest guy to the pushing tried to break it up. Nash thinking he's a hardass ran up to Rafer and pushed Rafer. So Tmac went up to Nash and shoved him to the floor. And then all the pushing started.

 

Brooks with the tip in hahhaah...

 

you guys think T-Mac will be suspended for shoving Nash and standing over him somewhat "taunting" him?

 

No. But Rafer and Barnes might get suspended.

 

If Tmac somehow gets suspended, then Nash should get 2x the suspension. McGrady was only breaking up Rafer-Barnes fight and it didn't seem like they were going to do anything until Nash came which caused McGrady to shove him. Nash, you're an asshole!

 

Who wants to bet Artest gets a technical anyway

 

great energy from everyone last night..........that's what I'm talking about!!!....even if you're having an off shooting night the fact that you play with enthusiasm usually leads to good things.

I thought the scuffle was funny, and I sent Dynasty a text message saying that I remember the days when no one would've gotten thrown out over that mini squirmish..........the NBA is getting too damn soft, lol

I thought the tmac shout out to the phoenix doctor was a bit odd and scary...............I mean has it gotten to the point where dude needs a special doctor in every city in order to play good.............what exactly did the doctor work on???............his heart perhaps....................

 

lol, I can't lie this same thought popped up in my head last night......and when nash threw up that 3 from halfcourt I figured it would go in to kick start it................when the 4th quarter started and it was announced that it didn't count, I then regained my faith...............

 

Nash was coming in to separate players. T-Mac mistook it for aggression, and shoved him to the floor. Then Shaq came over and shoved the entire Rockets team to the floor with one arm.

 

Heh yeah after watching the tape Nash barely did anything physically. If T-Mac gets suspended that's on him.

 

i don't think anyone should get suspended..............there weren't even any punches thrown...............just guys standing up for their teammates...........

 

Brooks is a baller. TMac looked great in the second half.


Bull Shit that Nash was only trying to seperate people
he ran right at Skip when the confrontation was already sepearated and grabbed his jersey

The push by TMac looked worse than what it was because Nash was already falling before TMac shoved him, then he stood over him
Whatever happens to TMac the same has to happen to Shaq because he pushed TMac, Yao and Skip

The Refs could have stopped it by calling a foul on Barnes when he hit Skip, it was right in front of them and they BLEW it
I love how TMac saw it and stared at the hit, then pulled up and hit a 3. that was funny

If you look at the tape closely, when Skip goes after Nash, it does look like he threw one punch.

 

Rafer did throw a punch or two. I have no idea what Nash was trying to do. It's like he just randomly ran towards Rafer like a headless chicken. lol.
