If you missed the neato scuffle between the Rockets and the Suns, I got you covered like a parking spot. Late in the 3rd quarter, Matt Barnes threw a cheap shot at Rafer Alston while T-Mac was in the middle of a 3-pointer. Skip ran up in Barnes’ face. Shaq started pushing people around. Then Nash came in. (WTF was Nash thinking?) The funniest part was after the game when Aaron Brooks was asked about the melee and he said “As soon as Shaq came in, I knew I had to get outta there.”

Bottom Line: Matt Barnes is a sore loser.

Proceed for bonus clip of LeBron taking off from the free-throw line for an explosive dunk.

    A few notes: indeed, what was Nash thinking?? McGrady and Yao are trying to get Alston and Barnes separated. Then Nash starts acting tough…
    And Shaq pushes McGrady and Yao(he even falls ON McGrady), Shaq has to be more careful, Rockets could make him pay if Yao and Tracy got injured because of Shaq’s push, and we ALL know it’s possible!

    Mr. Brooks had the right frame of mind. I would want no part of The Big Cheap Shot.

    Also, Riz, I say minimum 3-game suspension for Artest if you replaced him with Barnes, Alston, Nash, or Shaq in this incident. What do you think?

    Artest would’ve definitely been suspended had he been anywhere near that altercation. It’s kinda sad because he’s really trying to turn it around this time.

    Having said that, the league hates these shoving matches even though no punches were thrown. So, someone will probably wind up with a suspension or 2.

    Matt Barnes is a nitwit…I mean it wasn’t even a cheap shot that was just below the belt, thinking Rafe nor the refs wouldn’t notice.

    LOL @ Shaq pushing everyone down. I can totally understand Tmac getting upset at getting pushed to the ground.

    So Riz who actually got suspended?
