Someone has created an updated "Spurs-Suns Rivalry" entry for wikipedia:

2010 NBA Playoffs
After eliminating the number 2 seeded Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs qualified to the Western Conference Semifinals to meet the number 3 seeded Suns. It marked the 3rd time in 4 years the teams would meet in the playoffs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurs%E2%80%93Suns_rivalry)

That is all.

In May 2008, ESPN.com columnist John Hollinger (http://spurstalk.com/wiki/John_Hollinger) named the Spurs Hack-a-Shaq use as the "Best Tactic" of the first two rounds of the 2008 NBA Playoffs. Hollinger wrote that Popovich was the "first to really master how to use this weapon to his advantage." He explained that Popovich used the tactic "to eliminate 3-point attempts" and with 25 seconds or less at the end of quarters to get the ball back for the Spurs to gain the last possession. Hollinger stated "This should be a Eureka! moment for other coaches, and I expect it will be the league's most widely copied tactic next year."

Hollinger knows best; I wonder if we'll Jab-a-Jarron this series.

More likely PHX will Doink-a-Duncan.

That would be a twisty turn of fate...
