Channing Frye, Danny Granger suspended 1 game for fighting
I don’t really see what Danny Granger did to deserve a suspension other than get punched in the face, but whatever. Granger stood up for his 6-1 teammate who got pushed from behind by a 7-footer. (1) I like how Suns announcer Eddie Johnson wouldn’t even call Channing Frye‘s pawing jab a punch. “I think he was kind of warding him off…” (2) I like how the Phoenix crowd treats Frye like a conquering hero for picking on a guy a foot shorter than him.

Hey guys, what’s the name of the song playing in the arena while the refs are calling out the techs around the 1:58 to 2:30-ish mark? Been hearing it around a few arenas…

the suspensions are so arbitrary.
channing was just mad that the mismatch might mean he would have to actually go in the paint.

So, Watson gets all slappy, Fry shoves the slappy little bitch out the way, Granger flys in with two hands shovin Fry, Fry BitchJabs at Granger, Granger Bitchjabs back at Fry, then Roy Hibbert gets involved trying to get in a fight with a referee and Steve Nash, then everyone just starts pushing or hugging each other i cant tell.
NBA “fights” are funny as fuck. Considering the size of some of these guys, This league has some serious pussies.

Suns were playing drrrrty the whole game. Watson just seemed to get fed up with it. I wish we could hear all the talk throughout this matchup.

Come on, Austin. First off, I’ve see better fights at church. This was more of a scuffle. Secondly, let’s not make this a height or size matter. I’ve seen 5’5″ cats knock out 6’5″ cats. So what if Watson is 9 inches shorter than Frye. You can’t start shit with a big dude and then pull the size card if you get dropped.

@ spliff to my lou
agree on the height thing. Although I have never seen a 5’5 guy take out a 7’0 but didnt that boxing match recently have that result?
Those guys are no fighters. Channing Frye threw one of the worst punches ever! Ever! I’m a Suns fan but that was pretty pathetic, and the cheering as Frye was leaving was pretty bad as well.
BTW, with the Ryan Hollins play on Dirk in last night’s game, that is three games in a row with some sort of altercation. What do you make of that?

Rizwan says:
Roy Hibbert is an asshole for trying to throw a punch at Steve Nash. How dare he?

@Rizwan
I don’t know about boxing but a 6 footer knocked out a 7 footer with a kick no less in a MMA match a long while back. I saw it on greatest knockouts.
I didn’t even notice Hibbert try to punch Nash. I know Indiana is Austin’s new team but he can’t crucify Frye for “picking” on Watson if Hibbert tried to sucker punch Nash. Talk about homerism. That would make Tommy Heinsohn and Sean Elliot proud.

AB when did you become so charley rosen with your articles?
Let’s talk about Granger trying to “shush” the crowd in the fourth quarter. Yea Grange, that worked really well. Keep on doin that on 9-23 shooting it’ll work someday!
