The Sp*rs had a 5 point halftime lead. Then lead by as much as 11 in the 3rd before Nash started carving them up. Then something Horryble happened:

Suns won the battle but lost the war. They clearly were the better team det year.

Watching the Dubs dominate the NBA right now pisses me off that the pioneers of small ball were robbed of a title by cheapshot Bob and Bruce Lee Bowen. Key Suns players were suspended which ensured the Sp*rs rang.

By my count, y'all get two *s:

*1999 season had only 50 games
*2007 season - a legit title team was robbed by Horry's hipcheck.

Unbelievable. SMDH

It was known after the 97 playoffs. Stern suspended Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Allan Houston, and John Starks for leaving the bench in Game 5 of their series with Miami, with Ewing and Houston suspended for Game 6 and Johnson and Starks Game 7. So if the league is going to suspend the four best players from the team in the largest market for elimination games the Suns have no excuse to not know that rule was serious. :lol

I don’t take any of Lkrfans posts seriously, but are you actually being serious when you say stuff like this? That 2007 Cavs team was maybe the worst team I’ve ever seen in the finals. The 2007 Suns played the Spurs evenly before they shot themselves in the foot by violating a rule everyone knows about, while the Spurs were doing shit like trying unnecessary alleyoops against the Cavs and still winning by double digits every game.

The league literally killed Len bias to make sure the lakers get two more titles.
The league decimated the rockets and destroyed the careers of multiple people so that the lakers can get two more titles.
The league gave the lakers massive fta advantage in THREE elimination games in a decade. The lakers won all three of those games and went on to the finals.

All 11 of those laker titles have a gigantic * on it.

Looking at that play, ONLY Horry should have been suspended. He was getting ready to trap Nash on the sideline. Nash likely calls TO to stop the clock (which is what the Sp*rs needed anyway). But nooooo. Horry had to goon up the game with a hipcheck that was totally unnecessary. He should have been suspended for the rest of the season on the spot. SMH

The big culprits for the Suns losing that series were Dantoni, Marion and Barbosa, in that order. Dantoni is to blame for his team not being disciplined enough to follow an existing rule (the Spurs’ bench didn’t even flinch after the hip check) and even ignoring that, he got out coached in every which way during that series. Even though the Suns traded for Kurt Thomas specifically to have a defensive answer to Tim Duncan, Dantoni valued proving the world wrong about his SSOL offense more than he valued winning, so he didn’t want to give Kurt Thomas any real minutes until after the Suns lost game 1 and home court. Marion and Barbosa meanwhile couldn’t hit the most wide open shots given to them which made it so Nash and Amare were the only way they could get any half court offense going.

The Suns had every chance in the world to win game 5. They were at home, up by 20+ with their home crowd out for blood. Despite all that pressure the Spurs kept their composure and came back with an incredible, gritty win. No excuses.

To top it all off. Nash played up that foul like one of the worst Hollywood actors (something you should know about), and IMO is the reason he got his teammates suspended. If he didn't do that, and his teammates kept their composure, who knows, maybe they could have won game 5. It's all on Nash and his teammates.
