I completely despise the Spurs, I think they are atrociously boring to watch and I want them to lose very much, however the Suns recent whining about the physicality of the series and these over emphasis on foul calls, are beginning to annoy me.
When I first heard about this whole knee to the groin by Bowen on the radio yesterday, I thought well that certainly sounds like it deserves a suspension. And after finally seeing the video my thoughts are, "That's It?". That was the vicious knee to the groin, come on it was weaker than any typical jimmy tap. My guess is Nash did some acting there, because as bad as it hurts to get smacked in the nuts, he wasn't exactly coming at full velocity.
As for the foul last night by Robert Horry, come on that isn't deserving of a suspension either. A forearm shiver, come on Steve Kerr. How wimpy are you, he got knocked down. It was basically a football block that happens on every single play. It's not like he threw a punch at the guys face. If anything was a forearm shiver it was when Horry tried to throw a bow at Raja Bell's face. That one had intent. And why does Nash have to play it like he got completely knocked out. Get up you big friggin baby, are you a grown man? That could not have hurt that badly.
The moral of this story as that, the more the Suns bitch and moan about these fouls, and qact like a soccer player when they get fouled by rolling around like they've just been shot, the less I can root for them. And if I can't root for the Suns I really can't root for anybody in this miserable NBA postseason, and it will effectively be dead to me. One way or another I'm much more looking forward to next weeks Draft Lottery than any playoff series post Suns Spurs.
