Have you been following the heated Spurs vs. Suns series? In game 4, the series hit a high note when Robert Horry (San Antonio Spurs) floored Steve Nash. If they were playing hockey that would have been a good clean hit. But, it’s basketball.

Amare Stoudemire, the Phoenix Suns All-Star Center, ran off the bench to aid in the scuffle. While nothing much happened, the NBA suspended him for leaving the bench, because rules are rules.

The NBA also suspended Robert Horry for two games and Boris Diaw for one game.

If you watched last night’s Game 2 between the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns, you saw an NBA team in the Suns and a team in the Spurs that looked like they didn’t belong in the playoffs.

The Suns seemed to run the same type of offense over and over and over, yet the Spurs couldn’t stop them. Meanwhile, they compounded problems by shooting up pointless 3’s when no one was in position to get a rebound.

Let me just say—and I’m not a Spurs fan by any means—the officiating left something to be desired. I’m not one to expect the refs to catch every single foul, but last night’s officiating was sub par.

Game one of the Western Conference semi-finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns went to the Spurs.

The Spurs won because Steve Nash wasn’t in the game. With a couple minutes to go, Nash collided with Tony Parker. While Parker went down—later got back up—Nash appeared okay—then the blood came.

Nash split his nose open and while he tried to stay in the game, he was eventually forced out. He came in briefly and hit an important 3-pointer, but eventually he was out. They couldn’t stop the blood.

Basketball Betting - The San Antonio Spurs beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 97-84 in an exhibition game in Paris on Sunday. Tony Parker was the top Spurs scorer with 27 points. Teammates Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili chimed in with 15 and 10 points respectively. It was expected that Tony Parker would try to have a big game, even in exhibition, because he was in front of his home fans in Paris.

It looks like Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs won’t have surgery on his broken right index finger. On Monday, Spurs doctors came to the conclusion that he just needs to wear a splint for the next month or so. The Spurs hope his finger gets better in time for open training camp, which is just 6 weeks away. Everyone seems pretty confident about the one-month timeline.
