  • prefixmag, on 11/13/2008, -0/+40Summary: Matt Barnes gave a cheap shot. Rafer Alston gets in his face. Nash gets involved and gets pushed down. T-Mac also is involved. Shaq pushes T-Mac down. Yao falls. No one gets hurt. Ron Ron not on the scene. I assume all eyes were on him.
    • bullhead2007, on 11/13/2008, -2/+3Nash actually got injured on the neck when one of the Rockets bitch slapped him.
    • RichardSwingman, on 11/13/2008, -1/+0Summary 2:
      -ronny shove alston not barnes...hahaha jk!

      -shaq was pushing like crazy as if no one can notice. he made the pushing worst and get at least a game of suspension.

      Matt Barnes' cheap shot equates to 2-3 game suspension based on previous cases.
    • timidlikerivers, on 11/13/2008, -5/+2The NBA is a joke now. Just watch college basketball. They actually play.
    • Omar12, on 11/13/2008, -0/+3Ron Artest got ejected for just being in the same Arena where the brawl took place. He was just having a tasty Gatorade refreshment.
    • broh, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1Looked more like a girl fight
  • iamvahe, on 11/13/2008, -7/+8Title hyped it too much. I was expecting a Detroit Indiana remake and was sorely disappointed.
  • techguru2006, on 11/13/2008, -9/+4nothing can top the detroit-indiana brawl. artest deserves to be smacked around. word.
  • jerseychaser, on 11/13/2008, -4/+6hahaha this was a great attempt at a brawl...you see how shaq basically knocked over the entire rockets team with one fatal push
    • acatzr800, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1not necessarily fatal, but yeah.. shaq just stepped in and shut everyone down
  • philostrato, on 11/13/2008, -8/+6I love Nash, but he's dirty. Case in point.
    • IHaveCrayons, on 11/13/2008, -4/+2Here we see Nash kicking Yao Ming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhzVTB8ryQM
      Pushing off, whatever, he didn't have to.
    • bullhead2007, on 11/13/2008, -3/+6What I see there is Yao pushing Steve Nash to the floor and Nash getting back up.

      I see nothing dirty about what Nash did there. Maybe if the video quality wasn't so ***** I'd see something else.

      You fail.
  • sdigroup, on 11/13/2008, -3/+15hahahahahahahhahahahha thats no brawl!!

    are you kidding me?
  • Bukowsky, on 11/13/2008, -2/+17What a cheap shot... It looks to me like Shaq & Nash were escalating the situation. Watch Shaq shove T-Mac to the ground, and then shove Alston, and continue to come after him. Shaq wasn't trying to break anything up, like Yao or T-Mac.
    • diggit83, on 11/13/2008, -0/+22You would be an angry person too if you did Kazaam...
    • Snokage, on 11/13/2008, -1/+3what i saw was Tmac shove nash then shaq shove tmac...
  • chemicalsynapse, on 11/13/2008, -1/+5
  • X9001, on 11/13/2008, -9/+3Yeah I eject in rockets too...if ya know what I mean
  • ZeeZee2k, on 11/13/2008, -1/+31Shaq just pushed everybody to the floor, that was hilarious.
  • noclips, on 11/13/2008, -13/+3basketball sucks
  • joerod, on 11/13/2008, -1/+10they should just start letting NBA players fight like they do in the NHL, the players seem to like it.
    • ScottMitchell, on 11/13/2008, -0/+65% of the NBA players are peacemakers and would never get in a "brawl" or throw a punch. 5% are hard core and would duke it out with any other player. 90% want to look and act tough and then have their team mates pull them away.
  • CaptObvious, on 11/13/2008, -4/+7hahaha, Nash got knocked on his ass.
    • joeeeeeee, on 11/13/2008, -0/+3your name and your comment are priceless.
      • CaptObvious, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2I read that a lot. But I guess there's a bunch of Nash fans on digg or something...
  • DemiRonin, on 11/13/2008, -2/+8It must be fun to be shaq's size. You fall down! Now you!

    Barnes never played like that when he was on the warriors :(
    • JasonQG, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Uh, Barnes has always played like that. I'm glad he's not on the Warriors anymore.
    • nabenmargi, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Are you kidding me? You must not have watched very many Warriors games. Barnes has always been a dirty chippy player. He pulled these same kind of cheap shots all the time in GS.
  • rbfbeerguy, on 11/13/2008, -0/+4Artest has lost his edge he should be cold cocking ***** left and right...what gives?
    • ZeeZee2k, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1losing millions of dollars after the Detroit incident might have something to do with it.
  • Hafrikan, on 11/13/2008, -1/+4Shaq just shoves people because he can. If I was that big, I would do the same thing.
  • IHaveCrayons, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8It was Barnes fault. He shoved Alston pretty hard. Rafer is a straight up AND1 streetballer from New York, you expect him to just sit around and take that? If the ref would have made the call Rafer wouldn't have reacted but the ref just let it go.
  • ssn697, on 11/13/2008, -0/+14The Shaq Fu video game comes to life. Shaq used the Super Shove!
  • Konnnan, on 11/13/2008, -2/+1Looks to me like Nash just wanted to separate them but slipped and tried to hold onto Alston's shirt as he fell.
  • thedsack, on 11/13/2008, -2/+5Brawl??? more like a tiff...

    This is a brawl:

  • hanalex, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8I love Godzilla Shaq. HAHAHA. he just shoves everyone to the floor. how come the annoucers didn't talk about SHAQ???
  • InnerBlueAbyss, on 11/13/2008, -1/+2Weak.
  • mcpanza, on 11/13/2008, -2/+2I was at the game. The title of the post makes it sound bigger than it was. It mainly started when McGrady set a hard pick on Nash and pinched a nerve in Nash's shoulder. Barnes didn't take to kindly to that, and laid that hit on Alston who was being a pest throughout the game.

    Watching Shaq take down the whole Rockets team on the floor was awesome to see in person. He actually pushed down Yao a second time when he tried to get back up. Diesel!
  • projectI, on 11/13/2008, -10/+2LOL

    Hockey > Basketball

    Basketball = Crying Babies.
  • aguywithnobeer, on 11/13/2008, -1/+3Barnes was always a hot headed person even when he was a warrior.
  • Fatcheeseguy, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1An unscheduled fight in professional sports? Dugg.
  • bcollis, on 11/13/2008, -3/+3Whoever shalt raise his hand against Steve Nash shall burn.
  • Snoosy, on 11/13/2008, -1/+1This is the reason hockey has been on the front page so much lately. It's actually interesting.
  • danthepiercer, on 11/13/2008, -5/+1basketball players are such little pussies!
    Brawl? what brawl?...all i saw were a bunch of players pushing and shoving and now all of a sudden basketball fans are talking about how 'rough' and 'physical' this game got. give me a ***** break!
    what a ***** joke!
    • bullhead2007, on 11/13/2008, -0/+4The NBA doesn't allow them to get physical. If it escalated any further multiple people would've been suspended.

      Basketball is already physical enough without fist fights. It's not about fighting. That doesn't make them pussies.
    • cheezy321, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Did anyone say that the game got 'rough' and 'physical'?

      Quit trying to put words in other peoples' mouth.

      Give me a ***** break, your comments are a ***** joke.
  • Hardrockshero, on 11/13/2008, -1/+4Shaq Angry!!!!
  • audioscience, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Thanks for that. I was just hoping the video would have a little more compression so it could be unwatchable.
  • zzzpoohzzz, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1that was no brawl... and that push was nothing to get that worked up over...
    brawls have closed fist punches, not jersey grabbing and bumping into eachother...
    extremely disappointed with the vid after reading the title
  • KMFDM781, on 11/13/2008, -3/+1NBA sucks now...all they do is thug out and want to fight....
    • Coercion, on 11/13/2008, -0/+0oh yes, stevie nash is so thug XD.

  • version22l, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7Steve Nash is faster than sharks

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zcE1q4J7PQ&NR=1#
  • Halsfield, on 11/13/2008, -0/+3very misleading title, i was expecting basketball players strapped to rockets (ala the russians firing a drunk pig out of a cannon).
  • tomazws, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1It was no brawl.. it was just watching Shaq pushing people onto the floor one after another lol....
  • Coercion, on 11/13/2008, -0/+0i went to bed like 3 minutes before this happened, lame
  • drjibbajabba, on 11/13/2008, -3/+0You call this a brawl? My rugby match 3 weeks ago erupted into a brawl, and 4 people left on stretchers. Now that's a brawl. This is tea-party.
  • mcfly1204, on 11/13/2008, -1/+2Barnes was sticking up for Nash for a previous play were Nash got hammered on a screen.

    http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/2008 ...
  • Foenetik, on 11/13/2008, -1/+3playing dirty still didn't help the suns win. also...***** shaq.
  • slantyeyed, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1shaq must push people!
  • adkenc, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7the title in the rss feed is "Alston and Barnes Ejected in Rockets - Suns Br". What a disappointment. I want to see people ejected in rockets!
  • drummy41, on 11/13/2008, -1/+3lol...the way Yao went down was so graceful.
  • fissionignition, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1I'm a little embarrassed at how easily Yao went down...
    • alexismyhomeboi, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2You shouldn't be, he is a tall guy and doesn't have a lot of leverage.
  • jianningwu, on 11/13/2008, -0/+0I thought it say Jennifer Aniston was sent in Rockets.
  • rross2007, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1brawl? are you kidding me? i've seen worse on a middle school playground.
  • alexismyhomeboi, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1Funny how they say Yao tackled T-Mac to keep him pinned when he really got pushed by Shaq.
  • notepad, on 11/13/2008, -0/+0Its no wonder that no one watches the NBA anymore. Just a bunch of thugs that can dribble.
  • mayhemchaos, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1Don't mess with the dirty 3rd coast playas!
