Stackhouse suspended for Game 5 in Miami

Jerry Stackhouse suspended for Game 5 for the supposed dirty foul on Shaq in the 3rd quarter. If Shaq says his daughters tackle harder than that... leave it at that... no harm was committed, and if dirty fouls are supposed to be suspendable material, then why wasn't Shaq suspended for the dirty foul he did on Stackhouse in Game 1??? Equal suspensions should be for equal acts, or else it is a classical case of the NBA hating Mark Cuban, and showing double standards to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

That is absolute @#$@#$@#!
It was a hard foul, worthy of a technical - JUST, in my opinion, which was called. Matter settled.

But to take it further and suspend him for the next game is a JOKE!

If it was any other player than Shaq, the fall wouldnt have looked nearly as bad, only because he is so damn big the fall looked somewhat bad anyone else would have hit the deck and just slid.

Yeah bad break for Stack. It was a different 'style' foul to what Shaq committed on Stack in game 1 though.

True shaq falls hard but imagine how hard you would have to hit the guy to drop him??? I don't think it warrants suspension but if you are going to intentionally foul the guy 10 times a game then you have to do it within the rules

M Dizzle did you see the foul?
Stack didn't hit him that hard, was just the fact that to get to the ball there was going to be body to body contact, even still he didnt get to the ball as Shaq is so damn big.

I've seen much more contact in some charges, is that not intentional?!

So Stackhouse is allowed to jump through him in mid air? You have to protect the players.

Exactly protect the player and call the technical - which was done.

Andrew Gaze said on ch 9 today that it was a bad foul, but he shouldn't have been suspended.

Sorry M Dizzle that was directed at eastern lowland gorilla, 'So Stackhouse is allowed to jump through him in mid air? You have to protect the players.'
