The Denver Nuggets’ Nene has been suspended two games without pay by the NBA after head-butting an opposing player and making contact with an official.

Nene was ejected with 7:25 left in the fourth quarter of Denver’s 118-115 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, after head-butting the Suns’ Louis Amundson. After the ejection, Nene made contact with a game official

If it makes 'em lose, its good for us.

Gramps...

Man I am starting to wonder about Amundson. This is like the 3rd time this year somebody has clobbered the guy. Once, maybe twice I write it off. But when you are attacked for the 3rd time (at least that I know of) this season, something about his play has to be questionable to get hit that many times in one season.

They play at New Orleans tonight and then at Dallas in 2 nights. Those are probably both losses for them.

Hell, just looking at the guy makes me want to punch him:

Evidently, some of the league's bigmen have a problem with getting outplayed by a guy who looks like Claire Danes. Must be a threat to their masculinity.

BNM

^^ Soda & Boob - hilarious!

You gotta keep your cool if your Nene, but I'd head butt Amundson too.

Oh well, works out well for us (hopefully).

Heading butting isn't cool. They should have "slapped" him with a larger suspension.

How Denver has been able to remain somewhat stable and stilll be leading the NW Division is a little surprising to me... that's a team that should be on the verge of blowing up one of these days.

That's what I'm thinking, bumping a ref on top of it to compound it another thing I would of looked at also.


Brings back memories though...

I'd love to have a player like Amundson on this Blazers team.

not hurting them, they are smacking around the Hornets. Talk about an enigma, NO can't string together anything these days. I hope we get them in a 4/5 series.
