NBA Playoffs are now a Farce

As a devote Suns fan I watch in amazement as they came to life just in time to beat the Spurs on their home court in a game they had to have. What happened to Steve Nash was inexcusable and should have resulted in a playoff suspension for the player and a 1 or 2 game one for the coach.

Instead the league all but ends the Suns chances of winning a championship. Based on a rule that gives them the leeway to make adjustments if necessary. Is it fair that the Suns worked all year for home court advantage and it is taken away by a cheap shot and a bad rule.

The final straw was this statement by the NBA, "It's not a matter of fairness," said Stu Jackson, the league's enforcement czar. "It's a matter of correctness." What he meant to say was the dirty play of the Spurs will continue until such time as Tim Duncan retires or we find another team more compelling.

If there is any justice, Tim Duncan will foul out in the first quarter!!!
