Stern won again.:applause:
:facepalm that should've been a fine at best.
No, at best he should have been ejected during THAT game.
Suspended for another game seems silly.

I think it's fair considering the shoulder check he laid on Hansborough.

Flop. NBA players can't fall down when pushed. They are elite athletes.
Stern getting soft in his old age :lol

:lol: at people labeling me a conspiracy theorist with a tin foil hat :roll:
Should of been ejected during the game.
But of course, I'm a conspiracy theorist because I think the NBA has been influencing games since Jordan era. Not that there is actually proof to that or anything :facepalm:
So do we dismiss all conspiracies, even the valid ones?
[QUOTE=longtime lurker]I think it's fair considering the shoulder check he laid on Hansborough.[/QUOTE]
Yeah...what gets me is it didnt stop there either. He shoulder checks the dude...guy gets up, Chris walks up and then pushes him. Yet isn't ejected?
I don't know man that to me should have been an ejection during that particular game.
They go with a weak double tech, which Tyler didnt deserve and then after the fact suspend Andersen the NEXT game? Ehhh
Why do people care?
Indiana will obviously win game 6, and Miami will obviously win game 7. The NBA is more of a puppet show than it is a competitive league. Get with the program. :facepalm
JUSTICE! absolutely justice. I have faith in the league again.. maybe just a little

Hilarious.
[QUOTE=DuMa][B]Perfect time for Bosh to step up and play out of his funk[/B].
also perfect time for the Warden to make his mark in this series[/QUOTE]
If he hasn't done that after 5 games, chances are he won't. I just hope he steps it up in the finals
lol @ retards calling fix and conspiracy.
Didn't watch the game, but seen highlights on ESPN. Easily deserved suspension. Last time I checked, this isn't the NHL. You can't just push people full force whenever you like.
inb4 delusional idiots

this is true though. Making this suspension will give heat fans something to say to support that they aren't helped by the refs, when it's actually determined to go down in 6 or 7 for the heat.
it's like free throw disparity. Give all the timely calls to heat to break pacer momentum or help heat, but give pacer unneeded calls to even out the numbers later.
Stern is a genius.

Pretty much.
This is a hard concept for many on ISH to take in. It really is.
While people who dislike the Heat get called haters, that's pretty much because we don't buy into the BS.

If anything this series has been called evenly bad...pacers mainly hibbert should of been called for alot more fouls than he has.heat fans have a right at times to feel hard done by in this series just as much as pacer fans do.

Any Heat fan that comes on here and has the outright nerve to complain about officiating is a fringe lunatic, and most certainly doesn't even belong here. How can we keep 12 year posters off here?
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but...
I agree that Birdman should have been tossed, and that he was the only player deserving of a tech (or worse).
So, I love that Stern/NBA admitted that... but for suspending him for Game 6, I only agree with that if they would have suspended him even if he had been ejected, and not as a retroactive punishment because he was not ejected.
[QUOTE=plowking]A travesty! Absolute disgrace!
Isn't that what people were saying when Nazr was thrown out? Why the change now?
LOL.[/QUOTE]
Well, Anderson's was worse, it was a blind-side, unexpected body slam. Nazi's was a face to face shove that LeBron threw himself back on to make it look more dramatic. Also, Anderson then also did a shove as hard as Nazi's after Hansbrough got up, and then resisted being pulled away, aka continued to escalate the situation.
So Anderson's wasn't comparable to Mohammad's , it was much worse in 3 different areas.

Because the precedent has already been set, f@ggot.
I haven't heard it mentioned..
But why is no one considering birdman past history? Guy was almost kicked out of the league at one point. Guys a delinquent. He'd be in prison repping aryan brotherhood if not for ball.

In deciding suspensions it's on court history, not off. I don't think he has a history of on court incidents despite his incredibly ridiculous off court list.
He deserved the suspension. I'm currently watching ESPN and Stephen A Smith just said that he didn't deserve to be suspended but should've been ejected in game 5 but the refs blew the call. I think that just sounds retarded because if the refs blew the call and let him play the ENTIRE game 5 then its only right that he gets suspended for the ENTIRE game 6.
This incident was no different than this: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeOjQXS_ZaE[/url]
Bynum was immediately ejected and suspended a game on top of that.
[QUOTE=jzek]Fix is in.
The league wants a game 7 :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Yep.
The only hope is if Joel Anthony comes back from the missing.
I am going to enjoy some fadeaways by Joel:pimp:
As Eric Reid would say, Joel has been working hard on his offensive moves.
Should have been done during Game 5. Now that the Heats are one game ahead, the NBA corrects itself and want to seem like it's "fair."

yeah because Miami winning game 7 means the league is rigged and its just a big show :rolleyes:

Yep, because "the most stacked team in history" needs the refs to win a series in "the weak ass Eastern Conference" in 7.

At the end of the day he was still qualified to play for the ENTIRE game 5, when he clearly shouldn't have been for his flagrant 2 foul on Hansbrough.
People are saying that if he was ejected right then and there then its okay to suspend him the next game, but since he wasn't ejected and the refs made a mistake by not doing so, then its wrong to suspend him for game 6?:lol
We've seen this happen a million times where the refs miss a call or ejection, and then the league comes down the next day and hands out suspensions. its nothing new, get used to it people.

Thats what amazes me. How did the review it and not upgrade it lol. He just came at him with a shoulder tackle! Hell the ball wasn't even near Hansbrough when it happened. If thats not a flagrant two then I don't know what is.

Hibbert just called Joel Anthony a "terrific rebounder" and "terrific post player." Well, OK.
Hibbert is aware of what he is going to face tonight:bowdown:
