In an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Jerry Stackhouse has explained his frustration over the decision by the NBA to suspend him from playing in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.  Stackhouse's suspension was handed down for a hard foul against Heat center Shaquille O'Neal.

?Obviously, I?m angry with the whole situation. I just want to move forward. We?re trying to look at it as positive as we can. It was a hard foul. The game dictated that. It was a physical game. That play was just a hard play within that game. The game has changed over the last 10 years, but this is The Finals. You let the game dictate the game. The officials are used to dealing with it. The game was just flowing that way. We accept it for what it is. I know the guys are going to be motivated to go out and play hard and get this win. The way I look at it, I should have fresh legs on Tuesday night.?
