By the way, I saw all the footage regarding the complaints by Amare Stoudemire and the Suns team. The play where Steve Nash got his face bloodied-up, the contact was initiated by Steve Nash. It was unfortunate that he got bloodied up the way he did. The play where Steve Nash got a knee to the groin struck me as "incidental contact" as well. And watching the replay in slow motion, it was obviously an acting job. The Spurs player (whose name escapes me) had the ball and was in the motion of passing it when the contact occurred. His eyes were focused squarely on who he was passing the ball to, almost oblivious to Nash.The physical play of the Spurs was nothing compared that of the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls teams of the early 1990s, with the likes of Rick Mahorn, Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, and Bill Cartwright doing some real intimidation. The Cavs team I followed at the time, was a very similar team to today's Suns, and the missing ingredient was an intimidator of their own. (Although they never outwardly complained about the rough-house play. They also faced Larry Bird, who wasn't exactly an angel either. Unlike that Cavs team, aside from a defensive stopper, there are no holes in this Suns team.) If you look at championship teams in any of the four major sports, the most common element to those teams was intimidation.
Maybe unfortunate, but Leo Durochur was so right in his comment- "Nice guys finish last."
