Why the NBA Sucks

This may be just a venting session from a frustrated Suns fan, but David Stern seems to have his head up his a$$ and I can't fathom how he rationalizes his rulings. In last years playoff series against the San Antonio Sterns, Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw were both suspended for leaving the bench area even though they were not involved in any fighting. Stern's rational was that they had to stick to the rules. After this year's Celtics vs. Hawks scuffle, many players left the benches. Yet there were no suspensions? What kind of rules are you going by Mr. Stern? It seems to me that there has been a definite agenda executed to perfection by David Stern. It shouldn't make any difference now, but now that the Suns have been eliminated from the playoffs, it makes me even more bitter that last year truly was our year to win it all. I truly believe that he single-handedly took it away from us and it makes me so angry. On the bright side, I'll be much more productive, yet again, as I won't have to waste any more time watching NBA basketball this year...Good luck Sterns (I mean Spurs)...

The Sterns/Spurs will be taken down by the young, revamped LA Lakers this year!!!!!!!

Dallas just fired their coach Avery Johnson and the Suns will be doing the same in the next few days. Their will be alot of changes in Phoneix this upcoming offseason.

Sour grapes, my man! I think your team hasn't won in the end because they don't play defense. Kerr's decision to pick up Shaq proved to be a poor one......BUT you're not alone in the thoughts that KG (and maybe others) should have been suspended.....but it would be for the reason of a celtics-lakers finals...not the Spurs.

A Detroit-San Antonio finals is good from a basketball perspective....but marketing and ratings calls for Boston, NY, LA, Chicago....at the end of the Bulls run- a lot of people thought the Pacers were getting jobbed because the league wanted MJ and Chicago in the finals....something about Utah-Indiana wouldn't really appeal to the masses.

J.P. may sound like a bitter Suns fan but he does have a point. Those players who came off of the bench should have been suspended jsut like the suns players were in last years playoff series. In fact, the owners and the NBA rules commite upheld the rule. David Stern made himself look like a big hypocrite.
