Yes, and the loudest message in Game 3 was the message the league sent to Amare Stoudamire.
“Shut up. Sit down. Any more genuine thoughts from you and you’ll be out of the circus. You are not bigger than the “show” we are putting on.”
What I am worried about is that the Suns will come out in game 4 and try to play tough, and the refs will be waiting for them. Bell or somebody else will do something like Bowen does and get suspended for the series.
I don’t respect whining by basketball players. As a matter of fact, one of my beefs against the Suns’ radio play by play guy is that he is such a homer and a whiner. I grew up listening to Chick Hearn and I have high standards. But kicking a guy in the Achilles heel? Kneeing a guy in the nuts? I’m beginning to think I’m watching a hockey game!
