Bad Boy Spurs?

[Josh Rice]

The suspensions send a horrible message. The league is rewarding the Spurs
for these obvious tactics. This is such a shame, as this series was one of
the best since the 80's. My respect for Popovich and Duncan is gone - the
"win at any cost" ethic is not appropriate in sports. This really sucks.

Interesting strategy taken by the Spurs, apparently lifted from the Bad Boy
Pistons of the late '80's:
   
  1.  Smash Steve Nash in the nose.
  2.  Knee Steve Nash in the groin.
  3.  Body check Steve Nash into the stands.
   
  What next, elbow to Steve Nash's solar plexus? Sweep the leg?
   
  I am surprised the league has let this garbage go one (although maybe not
so surprised since it's probably pumping up the ratings).  But this is bad
for the sport.
