Jerry Stackhouse has been suspended for game 5 in the nba finals what are your thoughts. I think it is huge and could be a big blow for the mavs

Why'd he get suspended

Because of a flagrant foul on Shaq. It was a hard foul, but I honestly think that Stack's momentum is what carried him over to such a hard foul. He shouldn't be suspended, but he is, and it will hurt the Mavs for game 5....

He should get suspended, but this type of foul should be dealt with equally throughout the season. Shaq gets "bear-hugged" every game and regular fouls are called and I think if you hold a guy intentionally like that it should be called "intentional" every time. Shaq has changed the game and in the games he is in, the way it is called. I think that there should be multiple intentional foul calls when he shoots because they just grab and hang on.

While some of that may be true, Shaq is the biggest guy in the league. No touch foul is going to prevent him from a dunk. Even Shaq said his little girl could hit harder than the foul on Stackhouse. He also stated that this is the playoffs and it should be expected to be a little rougher due to a higher competitive level.

It will hurt the Mav's.

Yeah I remember it now, it didn't really look intentional, but it was still a solid hit

Well I can see it being called a flagrant if he didnt go for the ball but he made an attempt to block Oneal and then they hit each other. Come on do you think that Stackhouse is really going to knock oneal to the ground like that, I dont think so. How many times did her bury his elbow and forearm into some ones chest and them not calll a thing its a bunch of crap.. And I dont even like the Mavs for sure dont like Stackhouse.

If I remember right, Stackhouse got a piece of the ball with one hand.

I don't think Stackhouse should be suspended
