this out. This could be Phoenix biggest game in how long? As big as it gets this year for sure and mandatory suspensions to huge players is not good.

Remember Knicks/Miami brawl sort of the same situation and key players were suspended in a playoff series during Riley's Knick years?

Horry is a punk and was out of line. They should insitute the "common sense" clause and use it here to only suspend Horry. I doubt it though.

WTF is Horry thinking?

Nash who is a class act didn't even complain about the crap Bowen did , now Horry body checks him into next week as if he's on ice skates....Nash's nose is already in pieces held together by duct tape.....

Hasn't Horry won enough that he shouldn't be such an ass as soon as a playoff game goes against him?

NBA needs to do right by this, nothing else happened, players reacted , got up, that was it, have some common sense.

I agree with you guys. I think it could ruin a truly classic series that BTW is the way NBA hoops should be played. I also think they will suspend a few players inludding Amare. Hope not though.

They will not suspend any players in the playoffs. For them to suspend someone I believe a punch in the face or something like that would do it though. Regular season maybe, not the playoffs though.

$25,000 fines each. If anyone gets suspended it would ruin this series.

Oh Yeah...In other news some guy won an MVP or Something

Horry's always been a bitch. I don't care what good things he does off court. On court, he's a bitch. Nuff said.

They should strrictly enforce whatever rules are on the books for situations like this. This is a golden opportunity for the NBA to prove that these types of shananigans will not be tolerated. Who cares who misses game 5...let's hope they look at the big picture and stick to the rulebook.

I want the Suns to win, but i am a Knicks fan and i remember like it was today when most of the team was suspended vs the Heat

Why is this any different?

Rules are rules

The main difference is there was a brawl in that game and literally everyone came off both benches with many guys dropping bombs.

The league will come up with some excuse not to suspend the two Suns. I think I already heard the Suns claiming the two of them were going to the scorer's table to enter the game anyway. Garbage excuse I am sure.

If you watch the video again, they barely come off the bench if at all and they certainly didn't do anything worth of suspension IMO. They kind of come down the sideline to where Nash is and never really go on the court or past Nash.

I think the difference is if punches are thrown. The NBA doesn't want players suspended in the playoffs. It seems all sports have different rules for the regular and playoff seasons though. I agree though, if it's a rules violation in the regular season it should be in the playoffs also.
