I wish it were that easy, the "rules are rules" argument would make sense if the rule was easy to interpret. The rule says absolutely nothing about stepping on the court and crossing over the out of bounds line. The exact rule states that "During an altercation, no player may leave the immediate vicinity of the bench" So what exactly does "immediate vicinity" mean? Diaw took 4 steps from the bench, is that still in the immediate vicinity? Define altercation, there were no punches thrown, no pushing, was it really an altercation?
I was at the game tonight and you could feel the Spurs were going to be there in the end despite how horrible they played for three quarters. I still think the Suns can win in SA, its going to be a battle.
