from his yahoo article:

However, if the league decides to suspend Diaw and Stoudemire, it may have to suspend Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen as well.

In a play that went entirely unnoticed until well after the game was over, both Duncan and Bowen actually left San Antonio's bench early in the second quarter after Francisco Elson and James Jones were entangled. Replays clearly show Duncan walking several steps onto the court as Elson and Jones appeared to be ready to get into it. Bowen then followed Duncan onto the floor, grabbed him and led him back to the bench. If the league does indeed follow the letter of the law, both Spurs players would also be suspended for Game 5

While there SHOULD be suspensions, I doubt there will be. The league knows that ratings are huge this time of year and I can't see them jeopardizing them by suspending star players, or even role players, for that matter. There have been some downright thuggish fouls in the last week alone that would have certainly brought suspension in regular season games, but because it's the playoffs the NBA seems to be looking the other way. I'm beginning to think you would have to body slam a guy away from the action to draw a suspension at this point.

The league must look at the Duncan leaving the bench as well if they suspend Amare.
I think they should suspend Amare based on the BS story about going to check-in.
That was comical.

I wonder if anyone will make a big deal about this now that amare and diaw are suspended. If the leagues "hands are tied" by this rule, then they should be forced to eject duncan and bowen, which would be fair and correct.
