Injustice


Well it is glaringly obvious that there is no love for Canadians in the NBA. Now that Steve Nash has had time to clear his from the cheap shot he took from Robert Horry, he is right when he says he is "disgusted" with the way the NBA treated the altercation which took place on Monday night.

Kim looked a bit surprised when I jumped off the couch and yelled at the TV. Perhaps the moment of rage that took place in out living room stems from the fact that I have never liked Robert Horry. Maybe it is my loyalty to the BYU alum, Danny Ainge. Horry threw a towel into the face of Danny Ainge because he didn't like what Ainge had to say in a 1997 game when Ainge coached the Suns. But nonetheless, Horry has always been a player who in my mind, is a bit on the dirty side.

Unfortunately, the Phoenix Suns will suffer in tonight's game without the presence of Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw. Horry doesn't bring much if anything to the table for the Spurs, but it is an understatement to say the Suns will miss Stoudamire's presence in the paint tonight. Perhaps the most frustration lies in the fact that in the 2nd quarter that Tim Duncan was seen being pulled back to the bench by teammate Bruce Bowen after a dunk took place and yet the NBA brushed over this fact. The link below clearly shows Duncan stepping onto the floor. http://nba.aolsportsblog.com/2007/05/15/tim-duncan-left-the-bench-too-will-he-be-suspended/

Oh well the world is full of injustices. For instance, I made it all the way to the doors of The Price is Right and yet due to some unfortunate circumstances, Bob Barker and I were not able to make acquaintances. A long, dramatic story for another day.

I'm torn on this one Mr. Sucher on 2 levels. 1) I want the Spurs to win and they did just as you predicted. 2) I as well don't shared the love for Mr. Horry. Once again he has placed his stamp on NBA history.
