This is going to piss some people off. I hated the ruling last year against the Suns (even though I am a Spurs fan, especially since it was reason to whine against them), and am really confused by the inconsistency. They stepped on the court to go get involved in the skirmish. Period. According to the rule that sat Amare, if you get on the court when you are not supposed to be, that is against the rules and you get suspended. It doesn't rule out guys who take only one step, it doesn't even rule out falling out of your chair onto the court. Stoudamire gets suspended, but not these guys because the league FINALLY decides to use some COMMON SENSE?? I applaud the fact that they actually tried THINKING for once, but I don't see why they didn't try this last year as well. Oh well. At least now no one can ***** about their team being handicapped...
