OT: Jason Terry suspended for game 6 of Mavs/Spurs...

[trickblue]

Alledgedly he punched Michael Finley while scuffling for the ball...

Spurs fans should be happy...

[baj1dallas]

You Can't Be Serious.

[trickblue]

You Can't Be Serious.
Yep... according to ESPN 103-Dallas... Dallas can appeal but as of now he is gone for game 6...

Perhaps he should have grabbed and yanked his scrotum ala' Reggie Evans... that'll only get you a fine...

It amazed me that Evans didn't suspended for several games.

Looked like sexual assault to me.

[cobra]

Do you need any further evidence to prove the claim that the NBA doesn't want the Mavericks to finish off the Spurs? The game should have been over last night but for the horrible officiating.

They want a 7 game series because they know these are the two best teams.

[CowboysNumeroUno]

I don't see anything on ESPN...I hope this isn't true

[DragonCowboy]

Terry probably did punch Finley.

The refs sucked for that play though. Terry clearly called time before Finley jumped on him like a rabid dog. That's why Terry threw the punch.

Dallas will appeal and get it overturned most likely.

If it stays, the Mavs are over, sadly.

The reason the Mavs have been in these games is Terry's and Harris' play. With Terry gone, they don't have much of a chance.

[trickblue]

I don't see anything on ESPN...I hope this isn't true

It's breaking on ESPN 103 Radio in Dallas...

They have now said it is official...

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Did you guys see Ginobli deliberately go stand over Harris after Duncan went to the hole and Harris was called for a foul? I thought that should've been taunting.

[DragonCowboy]

There goes our season. Everyone needs to step up to make this a win, or else, we'll watch the Spurs win another...

I thought this was our chance. Guess not.

[CowboysNumeroUno]

Did you guys see Ginobli deliberately go stand over Harris after Duncan went to the hole and Harris was called for a foul? I thought that should've been taunting.

How about when the Mavs were celebrating at the end of Game 4, and Bowen comes in the middle of the group and pushes through them.

[The30YardSlant]

BULLSPIT!!!!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Just rewatched in 3 times on Tivo and there is NO PUNCH from Terry, however Mike Finley CLEARLY punches Terry in the side of the chest as they are rolling on the court.

Screw you, David Stern

True, Finley jumped on him like a rabid dog.

trickblue, if Dallas appeals, and wins, Terry will be there for Game 6, correct?

They are saying that there really is no appeal for this, but Dallas is frantically gathering video and images to make a run at having the NBA reconsider...

this is some kind of sick conspiracy man...action needs to be taken...maybe not violence...but something...makes me want to rip my eyeballs out and...argghhh...i'm going to lose my mind man i saw the play terry did nothing....god i'm gonna freak out here...who can spare me some valium or something..

[NorthTexan95]

I've only seen one replay on ESPN and there's no way you can tell if a punch was thrown. It seems they are just taking Finley's word for it. If the Spurs have another angle then I'd like to see it.

[Rack Bauer]

This is freakin' hilarious seeing all you Mavs fans crying. Very ESesque if you know what I mean.

Prove Terry threw a punch. Then call us homers.

[Rack Bauer]

:lmao:


Yes, the NBA wanted to devise a plan to make it where the Spurs would in game 6. They decided to take out Jason freakin' Terry by making up that he threw a punch. :rolleyes:


Hey, I have no doubt David Stern might tell the refs "Help the spurs out a bit so we can go to game 7" but I doubt even that loser would make something like this up.


And I don't need to prove a **** thing to call you a homer. You ARE homers, and it was obvious before the Terry deal.

wow rack, just wow..

First of all, I don't believe in conspiracy theories like that. Did it seem obvious to you that Terry threw a punch, OTHER THAN WHAT FINLEY SAID?

Did you ever think that the league is just taking Finley's word for this, and charging Terry?

Once again, show me proof that Terry threw the punch.

How are we more of homers than the San Antonio fans on here? Just a question: Why do you talk about the NBA if you hate it so much?

[MC KAos]

i was at the game, and had a clear view of what happened, ginobili was on the ball WAY before he called timeout, finley came bc he was going after the ball and so after the refs had called the jump ball, terry was frustrated and punched finley in the jewels. you say that they should have not suspended him because they didnt do anything to evans, but think about this....would rather have someone grabbing your balls or punching them??? which is more damaging? i think you know which youd pick, and it was a deliverate attempt to hurt an opossing player.

if you want to talk about officiating look at the tapes of games three and four, parker gets TRIPPED by howard at the end of the game and nothing is called....then dork nowitski steps on duncans foot and somehow duncan gets called for a foul and fouls out....then in game four the call on bruce was HORRIBLE and they call a bs technical for "delay of game" and with that last free throw the game goes into over time instead of the game ending in regulation, and without ginobili (also a victim of a hidious call) we couldnt compete

so in conclusion i dont think you can blame the refs for anything considering they have given the mavs 2 games.

[MC KAos]

watch that and tell me he didnt hit him in the jimmies and also notice that ginobili was on the ball when he "called timeout"

PUNCHING, FIGHTING AND ELBOW FOULS

Violent acts of any nature on the court will not be tolerated. Players involved in altercations will be ejected, fined and/or suspended.

Officials have been instructed to eject a player who throws a punch, whether or not it connects, or an elbow which makes contact above shoulder level. If elbow contact is shoulder level or below, it shall be left to the discretion of the official as to whether the player is ejected. Even if a punch or an elbow goes undetected by the officials during the game, but is detected during a review of a videotape, that player will be penalized.

There is absolutely no justification for fighting in an NBA game. The fact that you may feel provoked by another player is not an acceptable excuse. If a player takes it upon himself to retaliate, he can expect to be subject to appropriate penalties.

Then why is Finley not suspended? His swipe at Terry's side and head are more blatant than anything Terry did or didnt do.

:confused: when did that happen? Not in that video.

You're right, you can't see squat on that grainy video

The TNT angle from the live game showed Finley hitting Terry in the chest

[Maikeru-sama]

We should view the recent events as an injury, nothing more nothing less.

Besides, if we drop game 6 tommorrow, we still have Terry for Game 7.

Remember, we have had injuries throughout the course of the year and still had great success.

Im ticked off but hey, that's life.

So you really think that if there was a video of Finley hitting Terry he wouldnt have been suspended also?

:rolleyes:

Yes, I do

David Stern is clearly taking his anger out on Mark Cuban through suspending Terry and spiting the Mavs

Too bad Dallas will destroy SA and Stern's agenda wont be fulfilled.

But whatever the case, Finley clearly jumps on Terry on hits him in the side of the chest

[MC KAos]

their all goin for the ball he never gets hit, he just retaliates cuz he was frustrated that ginobili was on the ball just as he was and got the jump ball.

[zrinkill]

Yes, I do

Then it should be real easy for you to find a video of it ...... ;)

[zrinkill]

They justed showed that play from alot of diff angles on ESPN

Finley did NOT slam into Terry hard ..... he didnt have his hip on his head and only thing he touched was the ball.

Terry was mad ...... pure and simple ..... he acted like a thug and he has to pay for it.

To bad that a dumb bone headed move could cost the Mavs their chance to end the Spurs season.

[DragonCowboy]

I'm starting to seriously question your rationality. ;)

I hope you're more logical than this when you're arguing on behalf of the Cowboys. :p:

Terry obviously punched Finley... whether or not it merited a suspension, I don't know. It didn't look that bad, especiall after the Reggie Evans crotch grab. But he definitely hit him on purpose. Whether or not Finley hit his head doesn't really matter, because that was obviously simply a happenstance of him going for the ball. Terry's hit was an intentional punch. There's a big difference there.

But I wish he wouldn't have been suspended. I'm afraid it will wake Nowitiski up... he's far more dangerous in my opinion.

As for your conspiracy theory, I'm not sure it holds up. The league -- for years -- has hated the fact that the Spurs do well and make it to the finals because they are from such a small market and they play a "boring" style and have a "boring" superstar. I'm sure they'd love it for the Spurs to get eliminated... although you're probably right about no love lost for Cuban.

This is the only angle I've seen which seems to show Terry punching Finley. Does it deserve a suspension? Heck no! This is the NBA inconsistently enforcing their own rules.

One good thing though ... at least the game last night and this have got all the Spurs fans to stop whinning about the refs.

[zrinkill]

I will bet that if someone punched you in the Nuts you would feel different.

It was a dirty cheap shot on a guy who used to be his team mate.

Are you honestly claiming Terry didn't punch him? It's 100% obvious in the video. Even Cuban admitted it happened, he just defended the motivation and called the punishment too harsh, which I somewhat agree with.

Could you please clarify WHERE Finley's hand is on Terry's chest? This is a losing battle, HH, Terry did punch Finley intentionally. He should be suspended.

I'm having a hard time seeing Finley's left hand.

[zrinkill]

HeavyHitta is grasping for straws here ......... Both Finleys hands where on the ball ..... they showed the play a dozen times on ESPN .....

give it up

[DragonCowboy]

Jason Terry punched Finley out of frustration. He deserved the suspension.

Case closed.


Edit// I still think Mavs win tonight =D

[Rack Bauer]

OK, rack, I'm a homer... :o:


I know.


Now we have to invent a word for what HH is. Oh, I know there's PLENTY of words that aren't allowed here that can be used to describe him, but I was referring to a word with the same meaning as "Homer" only MUCH worse.

[SA_Gunslinger]

first of all, the video is on espn if you haven't seen it. clear as day, he punched finley. so, they HAVE to suspend him. there are no exceptions to this league policy.


that said, i hate this. no one wants to see this happen in the playoffs, and furthermore, if the spurs win tonight it will be "whine whine whine, they won b/c of the suspension."

i'd rather beat the full squad, again.

but much like the reffing...this is out of our control, gang.

You mean the crotch that is 3 or 4 feet away from his head?

Edit: Well maybe not that far but not close enough to warrant a punch to the groin.

This is the photo on the DMN website, and when you don't crop out the ball and most of Finley's left hand, as you do in your picture, you see that Finley has both hands open and on the ball. He's no where near "jabbing" Terry since both hands are reaching, and actually touching the ball.

Also, the picture clearly shows that Terry was getting ready to punch him before Finley's hip ever came into contact with his head.

You're running low on excuses Mark... I mean HH.
