    PHOENIX — Phoenix center Amare Stoudemire and teammate
    Boris Diaw have been suspended for one game for leaving the bench
    after Robert Horry’s hard foul of Steve Nash in Game 4 of the Suns’
    Western Conference semifinal against San Antonio, a person with
    knowledge of the penalty said Tuesday.
    Horry was suspended for two games after knocking Nash into the
    scorer’s table with 18 seconds remaining in the Suns’ 104-98
    victory in San Antonio Monday night that evened the best-of-seven
    series 2-2, said the person, who sought anonymity because the
    official announcement had not yet been made.

    Yet, if Stoudemire and Diaw hadn't hauled ass to the scene, there'd be only one guy getting suspended.

    What a way to have the series decided, in all likelihood.

    Horry probably only gets one game if the others don't "go to the scorer's table to check into the game."

    Horry probably gets no games if it wasn't Steve Nash. Where were the suspension cries when JRich dropped Mehmet Okur(which I was ok with because Mehmet went up for a dunk when the game was already decided)?

    Maybe because Richardson didn't try to hip check Okur into the scorers table?

    Suns win by 20 tomorrow night. Bank on it.

    I'm pretty sure that wasn't Horry's intention. His intention was to knock Steve down. The scorers table was just in the way.

    P.S. Only my opinion of course. It's debatable.

    I can't argue with you on the Okur foul. That was a hard and calculated blow and grab.

    And, if you're claiming Nash is protected to some extent, I wouldn't argue. If you're saying he's the only player in the league ever to have been protected by refs, league officials, etc., you're wrong.

    It has been a stars' league for a while now.

    Looks like Horry might have the last laugh here, at least if the Spurs win tomorrow night

    Horry swung his leg, hip and arm into an unprotected Nash, who had beaten Horry up court. It was a remarkably dirty play in a series defined by nastiness.
