1. Learn and commit to memory the definition of 'in the immediate vicinity.'
We were suprised that coach Mike hadn't gone through this with a mock bench and chalk lines.
It's vague. Evidently, the NBA determined that it is roughly the distance between the end of the bench and where Steve Nash landed from a Robert Horry hip check last year's series.
However it is evidently NOT defined by the distance from the bench to just past the 3-point line, which is where Tim Duncan went during another altercation.
Oh wait. The NBA decided that one wasn't an altercation.
2. Learn and commit to memory the definition of 'altercation.'
3. Hope that referee Joey Crawford is assigned to a pivotal game in the series and ask him, 'What's Duncan laughing about?'
4. Prepare to fight fire with fire, elbow with elbow, knee to the groin with knee to the groin.
Nash said he isn't anticipating any incidents but added with a smirk: "Boys will be boys."

We wondered whether the Suns playmaker ever does anything dirty in the heat of the battle.
He promised that if he does. Its never anything "premeditated."
Buy hey, he evidently doesn't mind an ocassional blood-gushing gash on the nose.
"I grew up playing hockey and rugby so this is nothing. Basketball is like nothing compared to soccer. ...Growing up in soccer, the other team's mucker (is) trying to break your leg every game."
5. Employ a Shaq Attack.
Someone asked Shaquille O'Neal recently whether he believes Horry would have delivered that late-game shot to Nash if O'Neal were on the Phoenix roster.
"No," O'Neal answered.
Because of his intimidating presence?
"No," Shaq said again. "I don't intimidate. I beat you. Like a man.
"I don't flop. I don't complain. I beat you."
Oh yes, this is going to be good.

this was a great post. as I was reading this, I'm hearing Tom downstairs YELLING at the TV. Guess who's playing? Isn't it funny that they yell? Like that's really going to help the SUNS win? Or it'll really change the ref's minds on their call? So funny! Anyway, I can't wait to show this to Tom. It would be fun if they got past the SPURS. Thanks for the post! GO SUNS!!
Maybe the Suns need some more help than pointers from the newspaper to help them win, huh? Hope they figure it out before they lose the series. And I hope you all enjoyed this article Phil posted more than the terrible ending of what could have been a great game yesterday!
Oh this makes me laugh. We missed the game on Saturday, but caught the highlights from everyone at church, yup that's what everyone was talking about in the halls. I nearly got ran over by a teen reinacting a shot. :)
