Anyone else tired of the constant playoff controversies?

Duncan and Bowen were already on the court before their altercation.

 

They were pretty far on the court, there must be a rule against that, but yes nothing happened when they were there because like I said, James Jones isn't a dirty player so he didn't try to fight him. The Spurs shouldn't be awarded because Horry threw an elbow and there was an altercation.

Think it was cnnsi.com or espn.Basketball is the only sport where players can't blow of steam over cheap or hard shots.hockey is self explanitory with their enforcers and scraps.football, well you get to hit guys and those scrums for loose balls get nasty.baseball, there's the old plunker-oo and regular bench clearing brawls, no suspensions forthcoming unless they get really stupid.NBA, you cough the wrong way the league is on you.They've totally homoginized the game. You can't hang from the rim for a millisecond too long. You can't say jack to the other team.It's too rigid.a good read from Bill Simmons.http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;sportCat=nbacheck it out.</div>I love Bill Simmons.
