Here's some pure bullshit for you:

Stackhouse suspended for Game 5
At the time, Stackhouse was called for a flagrant foul. But after reviewing the play and discussing the details with both players, league vice president Stu Jackson opted to upgrade the punishment to a suspension.

It was a hard foul.. a flagrant foul, but nothing more. Certainly not worthy of a suspension in the NBA Finals. Seriously, that's fukced. But why? Well that's when it gets interesting, that's when the politics come into play.
Micky Arison, the Chief Executive Officer of Carnival Corporation & plc, and owner of the Miami Heat basketball team made a move to get Stackhouse suspended, seriously.
Because Micky Arison is also the chairman of the NBA Board of Governors.
The NBA (owners) and Marc Cuban have never really agreed.. (over $1 million paid in fines, and counting).., and with this suspension coming
a whole day later, after there being no call for anything more than a flagrant foul during the point and time, in the NBA Finals(!), we're left with this dirty answer: Politics and Sports fukcing suck >:[
Neither the Miami Heat nor the Dallas Mavericks have ever won the NBA Finals championship series.

I don't get it. Dwyane Wade falls down eight times, gets up nine. Shaq falls once and Stack is suspended. bs
