	Bruce Bowen needs to be suspended. Last year he threw S. Nash into the scorers table. Then last night he headbumps West in the {bad} back. West crumpled to the floor in agony. How much longer is this thug going to get away with injuring players.

	First of all the player you are trying to suspend is Robert Horry not Bruce Bowen. Second of all if you watch the replay Nash (didn't get injured on that play) did get hit however he flopped and over sold the play resulting in a suspension for two of his teammates. Second, the play last night against David West was not all that dirty, Horry was protecting the paint and wasn't going to allow the opponent get inside position on him. I would like to remind you that what you are watching is playoff basketball and badminton and there will be some hard fouls and there will be injuries. This has been an extremely hard fought thus far, and I hate when people try to take away from it by whining about the refs and the hard fouls. Personally I cannot wait to watch game 7 and I hope that it will be just as physical as the previous games, let the best team win. GO SPURS !!!

	Tsumani, If you're gonna post a message, get it right. Robert Horry is the one that "hip checked" Nash and set the back screen on West last night...or just come up with something unoriginal and ignorant like calling Bruce Bowen "dirty".

	Booz, get your facts straight. It was Robert Horry that pushed Nash in last year's playoffs. And, it was Horry who last night set the back pick on West. BTW, there was nothing illegal about what he did either. I watched it a few times and he hardly did anything. If you want to say he did it on purpose to take out West, that is quite a stretch. If that was true, I think he would have actually made it a point to hit him harder, which he clearly did not. Even the announcers said he shouldn't have even had a foul called. But, since West went down like a bowl of jello, the refs felt inclined to call a foul. Get over it.

	One more thing, just because Bowen is aggressive doesn't mean he's dirty. He plays harder defense than anyone in the league. It just stands out because NOBODY plays defense anymore. And Chris Paul FINALLY got called for some offensive fouls last night, he's been doing that crap throughout the series, glad to see they are actually calling it.

	Bruce Bowen errrrrr I mean Robert Horry has a long way to go to be called a dirty player. Seriously the Steve Nash play was a block and it should have been called a foul...which it was, but he in no way threw Nash into the scorers table. Nash did a pretty good acting job there. The foul against West was no different than the foul on Chandler the other night when he backpicked Parker. Nobody was screaming dirty player there. Neither one of those calls should have been called but they were. West just had an injury and it aggravated it, otherwise this would get no attention. We all just need to take off our anti-Spurs glasses and enjoy these games.
