Round 2, Game 1: Spurs vs Suns Official Game Blog Thread

[jackiel1219]

Manu is Dirking at the line

[popshark86]

Lol at the Spurs going to win cause Nash can't get back in

lol at your mavs who got bitch slapped by a 8th seed team in the 1st round

[TampaDude]

Manu sucks...

[lefty]

Manu dirking again :bang :bang :bang

[samikeyp]

Tp Flop! I Swear The Spurs Are The Dirtiest Team Ever!

This from the guy who has Bell on his team. Suck it asshole.

[aaronstampler]

How much are the refs gonna let D'Antoni scream at them without a T?

[mookie2001]

ginobili sucks

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley to the line

[GrandeDavid]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yeahone]

timyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[conversekid]

wish someone would punch dantonio to make him shut up

[hitmanyr2k]

Game over!!

[SpursFanFirst]

Tp Flop! I Swear The Spurs Are The Dirtiest Team Ever!

:lmao

[rasho8]

How about Tony holding onto Barbosa's arm??

How about Barbosa shoving Parker?

[ChumpDumper]

Wow, I didn't know Charles Smith played for the Suns.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Fin Dogg!!! To the line

WHOOOOO!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Barbosa is a great player, but not sure I trust his decision-making in the clutch.

Fin can seal it here.

Thank Timmy for that great board.

[davemaniscool]

Tp Flop! I Swear The Spurs Are The Dirtiest Team Ever!

uh, no.

[Obstructed_View]

Ironic that Amare was looking for body contact.

[sa_butta]

Yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Quiet Strength]

Damn it too many missed free throws

[Spurologist]

Fuck FIN. Make that shit

[Spurs Brazil]

Make A Ft

[jackiel1219]

finley are you fucking kidding me

[mookie2001]

Manu sucks...I agree

[Pistons < Spurs]

THATS GAME!!!!!! up 4!!!

Fin going to the line....misses and made the 2nd

9.1 to go

[Admidave50]

wtf with Manu... really

[Tanya]

the suns beat themselves. The suns and the dallas are the two teams that play good in the regular season and will not win anything in the playoffs. I just don't understand how they can be called "elite teams".

[TampaDude]

Ginobili got bailed

Big time...gotta sink this FT, Finley! WHEW!!!

[Warlord23]

Findog makes 1 ... whew!

[GrandeDavid]

Fin dawg, just give me ONE!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Bang! Fin-dog

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 4

[rasho8]

Finley is clutch. Damn.

[ATXSPUR]

no fouls men!

[1SUNSFAN]

Spurs are so crappy! I swear they have to do all they can to win... fall down, head butt Nash, etc... Suns in 6!

[conversekid]

missed FTs are killing us... we could have a cushy lead.... no fouls, no 3s

[aaronstampler]

Well we're gonna win a game giving up over a 100. The series is on our racquets now.

[T Park]

if friggen ginobili and finley could make their free throws this game would be iced.

[Obstructed_View]

If Manu wakes up, this series is over.

Providing the Spurs don't fuck this one up.

[spurs1990]

Damn, everyone is Dirking now.

[WalterBenitez]

How much are the refs gonna let D'Antoni scream at them without a T?

dunno

[boutons_]

damn! Michael and Manu choke away 3 FTs in crunch time. gggaaaaaaaggggg!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Suns fouling with .7 left...fuckers...

Woooooooo.

Relief.

Ice these Tim, just because.

[SpursFanFirst]

Spurs are so crappy! I swear they have to do all they can to win... fall down, head butt Nash, etc... Suns in 6!

That, in itself, deserves 2 of these :lmao :lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Game over.

We were lucky Nash was out though.

May have been different with him and not Barbosa making the decisions...

[yeahone]

spursssssssssssss basketbsalllllllllllllll

[conversekid]

if manu pulls his head out of his butt, we'll win this series....

[GrandeDavid]

I'm so pissed off that this game wasn't televized in Brazil. Sorry broadcasting. I can't wait to get back home to San Antonio in a couple of weeks.

[rasho8]

if friggen ginobili and finley could make their free throws this game would be iced.

I agree with TPark on this one.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

:flag: Go Spurs Go :flag:

[Pistons < Spurs]

Congrats Spurs!!! :clap :clap Stole homecourt!

Pop's got enough to be unhappy about to get into his players. This should have been an easier win.....but a win is a win...especially on the road!!!

[boutons_]

yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!!

Spurs 1-0

Steal HCA

Big PRESSURE on Suns

[ChumpDumper]

damn! Michael and Manu choke away 3 FTs in crunch time. gggaaaaaaaggggg!!Uh, boutons -- we won.

[aaronstampler]

Good job Spurs. We stole Game 1 pretty much just Tim, Tony, and Finley playing well and not even playing all that good defensively. Manu and Bruce were in a lot of foul trouble and that hurt our defense a bit.

[Warlord23]

Timmy 33 and 16 ... MVP!

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Does D'Antoni think he's going to be retroactively given six free throws?

[WalterBenitez]

Tony A+++
Manu Z

[mVp]

yessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant

[conversekid]

d'antonio just needs to shut his trap....

[Admidave50]

Nice, that's what we needed to do! Steal at least one game!!

Really good game from TD and TP! They both owned Amare and Nash

[rasho8]

A win is a win ugly or not right now.

[MajicMan]

Amare's D is terrible

[sa_butta]

I agree with TPark on this one.Duncan missed 6 free throws.

[lefty]

Game over.

We were lucky Nash was out though.

May have been different with him and not Barbosa making the decisions...

True

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

Spurs Win!

[popshark86]

Spurs are so crappy! I swear they have to do all they can to win... fall down, head butt Nash, etc... Suns in 6!

fucking nash was the idiot who hea butted parker

your suns aint shit

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dayum, Tim was huge tonight, so were Tony and Fin.

Manu and Bruce rebounded well.

Good grinding win.

[Hoop]

Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Yes! I'll have to admit I was really worried there for awhile...the Spurs managed to hold on for dear life and steal this one.

Please, Suns fans, no excuses about Nash...he's got moxie!

[Borosai]

Nash out for a few possessions at the end made a difference for sure, but the Suns did get to the line and score points.

[1SUNSFAN]

Spurs vs. Jazz = lowest watched Western Conference Finals EVER! That's why it will never happen!

[easjer]

Damn, can't believe we won that game. They've got lots to improve on for Game 2 - I think the fact they rode it out and stole it is huge for us.

On to stealing Game 2.

Jeebus. Tony Parker has a fucking doorknob attached to his head!

[WalterBenitez]

Any Mavs' fan to say hi :D

[Admidave50]

lol @ timmy

[sa_butta]

Spurs are in trouble for game 2, watch out for Sean Marks (KIWI).

[1SUNSFAN]

fucking nash was the idiot who hea butted parker

your suns aint shit

Watch it again dumb ass! Parker was the one leaning in... did Nash hit him with his nose?

[aaronstampler]

I'm sure D'Antoni will use his entire presser to blame the refs and accuse Tony of cutting Nash on purpose.

[JMarkJohns]

"Here's to life, and it's many deaths..."
- Arthur, "The Imposters"

:pctoss

Congrats...

[TampaDude]

Did y'all see that welt on Parker's forehead?

[samikeyp]

did Nash hit him with his nose?

Actually yes. :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This series will go 6 or 7. It's gonna be very tough.

[sa_butta]

did Nash hit him with his nose?Apparently so.

[dbreiden83080]

33pts, 16 reb Tim Duncan is a god amongst Mortals.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Suns fans no excuses about Nash, they are they Phoenix SUNS, they do have other players on the floor who need to step up in those situations, and they didnt.

[Tek_XX]

ESPN: "You don't want the zebras deciding it but that's what they did."

[SpurDawg]

Much better than the De La Hoya-Mayweather Jr. bout!!!!

[popshark86]

Spurs vs. Jazz = lowest watched Western Conference Finals EVER! That's why it will never happen!

yup thats right slut

spurs and jazz

suns suck, just like the mavs

[Kobulingam]

If Manu wakes up, this series is over.

Providing the Spurs don't fuck this one up.

And also the stupid foul calls on Bowen allowed Nash to play like a God in that stretch in 4th quarter. Otherwise the Spurs would have won easily even with Manu pulling a Dirk.

Man we can't play any worse. SWEEP!!!!!!!!

[boutons_]

uh, chump, facts is facts. Our 2 best FT shooters choking?

[RealEstateDude]

Nose vs Forehead Series...

[Borosai]

One thing I love about the Spurs...they win a huge game on the road, and walk off the court as if nothing happened. They are focused...hopefully Manu shows up next game.

Oh, and my sweep prediction is still intact!

[aaronstampler]

We quietly held Amare to 6 of 19 and Barbosa to 7 of 17. And outrebounded them by 14.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Watch it again dumb ass! Parker was the one leaning in... did Nash hit him with his nose?

No one is to blame. It's not something either were trying to do. That shit happens. It's disappointing that both got hurt, and that the nose never stopped bleeding, but no one deserves fault in the accident.

[Cherry]

Well done Spurs. I'm going to hug my pillow.......

I feel sorry for Steve. :(

I can't believe we won this game. :dizzy

[Kobulingam]

ESPN: "You don't want the zebras deciding it but that's what they did."

Fak dat. How about that charge call on Parker?????????? How about the shit calls against Bowen that allowed Nash to run wild and keep Suns in the game?

[Beaverfuzz]

Peter Vescey says that the Spurs are a bunch of floppers. Of course, since he's on the NBA network, the laugh's on him.

[popshark86]

Watch it again dumb ass! Parker was the one leaning in... did Nash hit him with his nose?

you piece of shit

nash was trying to reach in

whos fault is it slut

[dbreiden83080]

Guys could Tim Duncan possibly be any greater than he is?

[hitmanyr2k]

I wanted to see Nash back in there. After a great game it just seems cheap that he was out the last 2 minutes. Barbosa doesn't have the skill or intelligence to make the right decisions down the stretch...especially in a half court game.

[Spurologist]

Watch it again dumb ass! Parker was the one leaning in... did Nash hit him with his nose?

:lmao

Who gives a fuck

You can't play defense with your head. Tp broke Nash's ankles and his head was in the way. Hence the foul.

Hope Nash is ready for game 2.

[baseline bum]

Tony was amazing tonight, and man, Tim came to play beautifully tonight... and Nash is without a doubt the MVP. I hope Nowitzki hands it off to him a halftime of whatever game it's awarded in.

[Obstructed_View]

Just because a guy gets bloodied doesn't mean he didn't commit a foul. The rules in this game favor the offensive player. Nash initiated the contact by reaching in.

[boutons_]

I don't like to win with their MVP not playing, but we've had our own pb's with playoff injuries. Them's the breaks.

[TampaDude]

The Spurs played a mediocre game, and they still won by 5 on the road...they will dominate the rest of the games...Spurs will SWEEP!

[Borosai]

we won by a nose

:lol

[boutons_]

d'Antoni was bitching way too much. Chicken-man should fire him tonight.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

vescey has been a huge advocater of the spurs this post season

I'd be surprised if he called the spurs floppers or tried to slam them

[Obstructed_View]

Peter Vescey says that the Spurs are a bunch of floppers. Of course, since he's on the NBA network, the laugh's on him.
Ever since '99, when he picked the Knicks to beat 'em.

[1SUNSFAN]

you piece of shit

nash was trying to reach in

whos fault is it slut

So reaching in automatically causes Tony to fall flat on his face? Oh, that's right, that is what they are trained to do... bunch of damn floppers! Even ESPN knows it.

[phyzik]

Nash/Parker headbut was inadvertent.... It was initiated by Nash trying to reach in for the ball but it wasnt on purpose.

[td4mvp21]

Nash didn't play for the last minute, I really don't think his absense had anything to do with the loss. Stoudemire choked on that last shot, even though the Spurs forced him into a tough one.

[Savannah]

CONGRATULATIONS to both teams! I'm so proud of the Spurs...it's a great win; but both teams came to play and it was a joy to watch.

[Obstructed_View]

So reaching in automatically causes Tony to fall flat on his face? Oh, that's right, that is what they are trained to do... bunch of damn floppers! Even ESPN knows it.
Um, did you see the blood on Nash's face? Tony has to be the greatest faker of all time to open up a cut that size on a guy that didn't touch him! :lol

[TampaDude]

Guys could Tim Duncan possibly be any greater than he is?

Yes...when he gets that fourth ring! :toast

[judaspriestess]

Thank God for DVR :elephant

[Obstructed_View]

So reaching in automatically causes Tony to fall flat on his face? Oh, that's right, that is what they are trained to do... bunch of damn floppers! Even ESPN knows it.
So when Nash set the screen in the first half and took three seconds to tumble to the floor, what exactly was that?

[td4mvp21]

If I'm not mistaken, the Suns had so many flops it wasn't even funny. So don't bitch about a flop that didn't even EXIST :lol. And what is ESPN spewing about this Spurs win?

[Deb]

So reaching in automatically causes Tony to fall flat on his face? Oh, that's right, that is what they are trained to do... bunch of damn floppers! Even ESPN knows it.
sore loser - you got the king of all floppers there in Raja :elephant

[Obstructed_View]

Funny that NBA trainers wouldn't have steptic pencil on the sideline.

[dbreiden83080]

Yes...when he gets that fourth ring! :toast

Ah touche!!

[TampaDude]

I feel sorry for Steve. :(

I can't believe we won this game. :dizzy

With the kind of $$$ he's getting paid? I'll take a broken nose anyday for the kind of scratch Nash is making!

It sucks he wasn't able to play the whole time down the stretch...he might have made a difference...but them's the breaks...

[davemaniscool]

Spurs are toying with Suns. They'll shut them down in the last two minutes

as I was saying. you guys need to listen to me. I will not be ignored :lol

[Deb]

SPURS in 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Funny that NBA trainers wouldn't have steptic pencil on the sideline.

Styptic wouldn't work on that volume of blood...he was cut pretty bad...that Nash was able to continue is amazing...I have much respect for that...but, then again, that's why he gets paid the big bux...

[popshark86]

SPURS in 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

i agree


:elephant

[dbreiden83080]

Dantoni is whining like a bitch about the calls.

[easjer]

Sweep? Unlikely.

We've got a LOT of shit to fix - FAR too many turnovers. Missing a LOT of FTs - especially key FTs down the stretch. Lots of easy looks for the Suns. Too many 3s early on.

We scraped by with some luck. I'm grateful that we did - and I still think we can win in 5, but the next game is going to be really hard to win for the Spurs. They will not win with a repeat of this afternoon's performance.

Unrelated - D'Antoni sure is a whiny bitch, isn't he?

[davemaniscool]

took a herculean effort by Tony. Manu needs to shake the Irk disease.

[Texas_Ranger]

SPURS in 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

That would be nice, but I think that they will win at least one game. So Spurs in 5.
:blah

[1SUNSFAN]

Suns will regroup and win 4 in a row... just like the Spurs did against the Nuggets.

[Spurologist]

D'anotoni in Post Game Press;

Bitch bitch bitch. We lost because of the calls. Nash was out so we lost. Bitch bitch bitch. THose calls really hurt the complexion of the game. Bitch bitch. DASANI dasani. Moaon moan. Bitch. I thought my players were fouled.

[popshark86]

Suns will regroup and win 4 in a row... just like the Spurs did against the Nuggets.

this is not NBA 2k7 or live were the suns are overrated

welcome to spurs basketball

u piece of shit

[davemaniscool]

Denver may prove to be a tougher matchup.

[Obstructed_View]

Styptic wouldn't work on that volume of blood...he was cut pretty bad...that Nash was able to continue is amazing...I have much respect for that...but, then again, that's why he gets paid the big bux...
I've seen it work on nastier cuts than that in boxing matches. Usually the cuts are around the eye, though. A decent cutman can almost always get the bleeding stopped within 60 seconds.

[1SUNSFAN]

DAMN! Peter Vecesy said the Suns need to make an adjustment... "change the referreing crew... there's an adjustment!"

[easjer]

Suns will regroup and win 4 in a row... just like the Spurs did against the Nuggets.
:lol


Sure thing buddy. I bet that is EXACTLY what will happen.

[jdcupp]

I just started watching games w/my friend. But I was wondering why it's a big win if the only way to do it is to seriously injure the other team's best player. Isn't that cheating? How can that make you proud?

[Mavs<Spurs]

DAMN! Peter Vecesy said the Suns need to make an adjustment... "change the referreing crew... there's an adjustment!"


Oh, I get it: That's why the Spurs have won so many straight playoff games in Phoenix; it's the officiating. That's why the reason why the Spurs win the majority of the games between these two teams.

[1SUNSFAN]

I just started watching games w/my friend. But I was wondering why it's a big win if the only way to do it is to seriously injure the other team's best player. Isn't that cheating? How can that make you proud?

That's okay... let these Spurts fans have their moment. Just like Dallas won a few games by getting BD and SJackson out of the games. Phoenix will rise from the ashes!

U were proud when guys beat Phila in the 2001 Finals, a team devastated by injuries

So can it

[TampaDude]

I've seen it work on nastier cuts than that in boxing matches. Usually the cuts are around the eye, though. A decent cutman can almost always get the bleeding stopped within 60 seconds.

Yeah...the Suns need to hire a good cutman, then...but I think the nose is much harder to stop than the forehead or eyebrow...it's a convoluted surface. Nash may have cut a vein in his nose..he was really bleeding. If this were a boxing match, the ref would've stopped the fight...he had blood in his eye...that's a TKO in the making.

[NASpurs]

Right; the fact that Nash initiated the contact by leaning in obviously is not relevant to you. Clearly, you are simply an unbiased, inexperienced novice who just has an honest question.

The fact that the Spurs own the Suns (7 of the last 9 games ) is not germane to the discussion either.

[Deb]

[Mavs<Spurs]

If this series is to be competitive, Phoenix absolutely must get game 2. But then again, they absolutely had to get game 3 in 05 and they couldn't come close.


With Denver and Phoenix, this sure does look similar. The difference is that this year, Tim's ankles are good and we didn't have to mess with a physical Sonics team.

[Obstructed_View]

That's okay... let these Spurts fans have their moment. Just like Dallas won a few games by getting BD and SJackson out of the games. Phoenix will rise from the ashes!
Classy losers as always.

[Deb]

Dantoni biggest whiner award

He paced the sidelines and whimpered to the refs the whole time

Pansy ass

[1SUNSFAN]

At least the Spurs scored over a hundred points... boring bank shot basketball. It sucks!

Definition of a troll.

Vecey just said Parker was Pinoccio! LOL! He said the bump on his head grew when he said Nash pushed him... hahahahaha

[Obstructed_View]

He throws the bait and you guys keep biting.

Definition of a troll.
Yeah, but his team got beat, so who cares?

[Kobulingam]

Peter Vescey says that the Spurs are a bunch of floppers. Of course, since he's on the NBA network, the laugh's on him.

Vescey also laughed and said Parker doesn't know what he's talking about. Parker explained how he stole the ball after a Marion pick and roll and took the ball up court before he and Nash clashed. Vescey thought Parker was saying that he got injured on the Marion pick and roll.

Fucking Vescey was laughing and wasting time with this.

[Kobulingam]

Note to everyone, Amare is not athletic enough to match up with Duncan anymore. Doesn't matter if Amare is a better player, because it was the athleticism that allowed him to trouble Duncan. Duncan is going to own Amare this series.

[Johnny RIngo]

Peter Vescey's a bigger joke than the Phoenix Suns.

Spurs vs Steve Nash Suns: 12-4

Maybe they should think about playing some defense for once.

[AZLouis]

Duncan played well. Amare played okay. Nash played well.

Parker played great.

I couldn't believe that after the 3rd or 4th jumper he made, they continued to run under the pick instead of playing over. Antoni is not very good at in game adjustments.

Tough loss for the Suns. Great win for the Spurs.

Game 2 on Tuesday will another doozy.

Too bad game 3 is next Sunday. I could watch these guys play every day.

*EDIT*

6 minutes from Jones and 12 from Kurt.

It's high time the Jones experiment ends. Kurt played Duncan very tough (as did Amare) and his defense is sorely needed.

Almost every one of Tim's shots were contested and against pretty good defense.

That hook he hit towards the end was tremendous.

[SALegacy]

I'm a physician who does many nasal surgeries. The nose has small arteries that are much larger and more superficial than other areas of the face. I think the one that Nash had severed in the collision was just not going to stop without several minutes of him lying down with direct pressure on the area followed by cauterizing or tying it off and stitching up the laceration. The "styptic" they were using is just inadequate for such an injury, and the small band-aids were a joke.
It was a travesty that he was allowed to play for so long with that amount of bleeding. The safety of the other players is also a consideration. Nobody suspected that Magic Johnson was HIV+

solid win.

Ginobili needs to wake the fuck up.

Hopefully Timmy and parker duplicate these performances.

Fin and Horry as well.

Barry?

Manu is Dirking.

Is Dirkitis contageous?

[Obstructed_View]

I'm a physician who does many nasal surgeries. The nose has small arteries that are much larger and more superficial than other areas of the face. I think the one that Nash had severed in the collision was just not going to stop without several minutes of him lying down with direct pressure on the area followed by cauterizing or tying it off and stitching up the laceration. The "styptic" they were using is just inadequate for such an injury, and the small band-aids were a joke.
It was a travesty that he was allowed to play for so long with that amount of bleeding. The safety of the other players is also a consideration. Nobody suspected that Magic Johnson was HIV+
Ah. Thank you. I hadn't seen that they were using styptic. There probably wasn't any way to even contain the blood without severely affecting his vision.

Is this guy for real, or is he a Spurs fan trying to make all the Mav fans look like the crybabies they are?

That's what losers do. Funny that his team got beat by the Warriors and he blames the Spurs somehow. I love it.

That's what all the drunk Mavs fans did at the bars that night they were eliminated. They'd yell at Spurs fans and called us pussies cuz we were going for GS.

He might not even get the chance to get some quality playing time if Finley keeps his streak up.

[Kobulingam]

He might not even get the chance to get some quality playing time if Finley keeps his streak up.

So what's the cure?

[Kobulingam]

Nash dissing some of his teammates (without naming them). He says somoe of them didn't have the fire/effort to beat a championship team.

[dknights411]

So what's the cure?

The Spurs winning the game anyway counts as a cure, right?

Manu will get his act together. I'm not worried. :fro

[Kobulingam]

Man Nash is going on and on about some of his teammates not fighting hard or having fire.

[Agloco]

Guys could Tim Duncan possibly be any greater than he is?

Well......

It's kinda frustrating when he goes through those stretches where he shows the ball and turns it over in bunches.

Then there's also the stretches where he misses FT after FT.

Other than that, no. He looks good once again on D also. Hopefully we continue to get vintage Timmy the rest of the way. The Spurs will be ok if this trend continues.

[aaronstampler]

solid win.

Ginobili needs to wake the fuck up.

Hopefully Timmy and parker duplicate these performances.

Fin and Horry as well.

Barry?

Uh, hallo? Anyone home?


Do you pay attention to anything besides points? Ginobili shot the ball very poorly but he did a lot of other things well. He rebounded great, he didn't have any turnovers in 28 minutes, and he was very effective feeding Timmy in the post so that he could make his move immediately and score. He had a good "team" game, even if his individual day doesn't look that great.

Once again picking up those 2 quick fouls in the first took him out of his offensive rhythm. That 2nd one was such a bs call. He got sandwiched between two suns on a screen and nash just flopped.

Before the end of the playoffs, hopefully.

[Agloco]

Suns will regroup and win 4 in a row... just like the Spurs did against the Nuggets.

LAFF!!!!! :lol :lol

And you think this because?

The Suns have a defense that slows other offenses down or something?

Once again all the Suns fans are bitching about Nash being out at the end while forgetting that the Suns coudn't get a stop at the end of the game. Methinks that had nothing to do with Nash being out. If anything, him being out helped them on the defensive end.

And they still didn't get it done. So again: :lol :lol

You'll have to excuse Tpark, anything outside of glowing praise for Pop or 30 points by a player is beyond him.

[Agloco]

Duncan played well. Amare played okay. Nash played well.

Parker played great.

I couldn't believe that after the 3rd or 4th jumper he made, they continued to run under the pick instead of playing over. Antoni is not very good at in game adjustments.

Tough loss for the Suns. Great win for the Spurs.

Game 2 on Tuesday will another doozy.

Too bad game 3 is next Sunday. I could watch these guys play every day.

*EDIT*

6 minutes from Jones and 12 from Kurt.

It's high time the Jones experiment ends. Kurt played Duncan very tough (as did Amare) and his defense is sorely needed.

Almost every one of Tim's shots were contested and against pretty good defense.

That hook he hit towards the end was tremendous.


There's no way you run over picks against Parker. Ever.

Smart to live and die against Parkers jumper rather than let him loose against your bigs in the paint. You saw the result a few times when he took Marion to the hole.

The Suns have to hope that Parkers J is not going for the rest of the series. If he continues to shoot jumpers like he did today, it's over. Period.

Yep. They have to give him the jumper instead of letting him penetrate. The only other thing they can do is trap him.

[GrandeDavid]

Where the hell is Manny?

[bresilhac]

I feel this will go seven and be one of the best series in recent memory.

I disagree. I don't see this series going more than 5 games. San Antonio seems to have D'Antoni's Suns confounded on the offensive end compared to the way they are able to execute against most other if not all other teams. It's about execution. If the Spurs defense continues to disallow Phoenix's high flying, circus act to get rolling the Suns don't have a chance.

[Kori Ellis]

That 2nd one was such a bs call. He got sandwiched between two suns on a screen and nash just flopped.

Yeah that call was BS - along with the one on Bowen when Amare flopped, and one of the offensive fouls on Parker. But overall the officiating wasn't horrible.

I hope Manu gets into rhythm next game - I think this series should be huge from him and the Spurs really need him.

[GrandeDavid]

Kori, where is Manny? Any idea?

[Kori Ellis]

Kori, where is Manny? Any idea?

He was at the GTG today. I don't know where he is right now.

[SpursFanFirst]

He does this after EVERY Spurs win...charming, no? :lol

[GrandeDavid]

Gotcha. I just hadn't seen him around awhile, so I was worried about him. lol

Sorry but Manu didn't have a good game to me. You expect more from Manu than just feeding Tim. He didn't have his usual aggressiveness on defense too.

He wasn't there when offense was struggling and when he tried, he missed several layups. Spurs were lucky that TP was hot during those streches.

He also missed criticals FT's that could have cost more than they did.

He can, have to make more then that.

The analyst on NBA TV was going on and on about how the Suns got shafted by the officiating. He sounded like George Karl.

[BigBeezie]

Another BIG win for the Spurs. I don't see this game lasting until 6 games. It may end up being just like 2005.

[Kent_in_Atlanta]

I think it will. They've improved a bit since the 2005 series. Not enough to win it... but they're good enough to take it to 6.

However, if they don't find a way to win Tuesday... this very well could be a repeat of 2005.

And they died today.

Didn't he open the game going 8/8 from the field?

A change in defense was needed. If going over wouldn't work cause of his lane penetration, having the big guy pop out might've disrupted even for a moment.

Parker is a Suns killer. This matchup is great for him.

If it weren't for those free throws the Suns had in the 3rd, this could've been a blowout.
