Round 2, Game 4: Spurs vs Suns Official Game Blog Thread

[timvp]

The Spurs need to come out ready to play. In Game 2, they entered the game overconfident and ill-prepared for the desperation the Suns displayed. The Spurs can't have a repeat of that performance.

Game 4 is a trap game because I think Game 3 was more luck than skill. Steve Nash is never going to start another game 0-for-9, no matter how well he's defended. Amare Stoudemire isn't going to spend more than half the on the bench with foul trouble. Leandro Barbosa is going to find his away to the arena this time.

On the Spurs side, the Big Three all played well in Game 3. That's not something you can count on every game. Usually, two of the three show up.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that the Spurs can beat the Suns. But their mental approach has been lacking at times this season.

Overall, I'm afraid that the Spurs are going to come into the game too relaxed. Game 2 was a pitiful performance brought on by overconfidence and a desperate Suns team.

In Game 4, the Suns will be desperate. The Spurs can't rest on a 2-1 series lead. The battle has just begun. If the Suns win this game, all the momentum earned due to the Game 3 win will evaporate.

Concentrate on the mission at hand, not what has or hasn't happened. Be prepared for desperation.

Believe.

game 4
is not like 2
why bowen is getting looked at again spurs will be forcused

[Kevin Blackistone]

I wouldn't say game 3 win was due more to luck than skill. The Suns started off red hot as a team and the Spurs clamped down, shut down Barbosa, cut off passing lanes and made Nash take the offense onto himself. A lot of work went into getting that done, and going from 10 down in the 2nd quarter to 7 up at game end isn't luck. If the Spurs let the Suns get all caught up in the physicality issue and just continue to pound away for 48 they'll be fine.

[Extra Stout]

I think with D'Antoni's antics, the Spurs smell blood.

[Trainwreck2100]

These fuckers better win

[Budkin]

They don't want to put themselves in the situation of having to win again in Phoenix. I think it'll be a tight game but the Spurs will prevail in the end. Hopefully the fans will stay in it though even if they get down.

[Cherry]

:flag: :hungry: :fight :ihit

[GrandeDavid]

Game three was NOT more luck than skill. That's a reach. And there's a reason Nash went 0-9 to start the game -the road and San Antonio's defense. And if it was an open shot he missed, maybe somebody was in his head early on. Nobody is perfect, even ringless Nash.

That being said, the Spurs are veteran enough to know the importance of tonight's game. They'll be ready, as will the fans in attendance.

[themvp]

Go Spurs Go!

[Texas_Ranger]

Win, Win, Win!!!

[LavaLamp]

Win Suns Win!

[Obstructed_View]

I might have thought Nash's start was a fluke except that he scored something like seven straight points in the third when they put Bowen on him. Parker's defense was very good, and if he does that again, the Suns will need a monster game from a couple of other people to survive it.

[T Park]

im gonna shove my clacker up Ginobili parker and finley's noses if they dont fucking come out for goddamn blood tonight.

Fuckers better bring it tonight.

[TampaDude]

The Spurs need to come out gunning and put the Suns behind early...take their heart...force them to press shots and get into foul trouble...this is the pivotal game for the Spurs...win tonight, and you've got 3 chances to close 'em out...Duncan needs to have another huge game tonight...and I think he will...if Manu and Tony get hot, the Spurs will cruise. :toast

[1SUNSFAN]

I agree with some of the "Spurs got lucky" sentiments... refs need to call this one fair tonight and then we will see who the real "whiners" are. Suns are done with calling people out. Now they are just going to play their game and you will see some great basketball. I just hope the Spurs don't revert to more cheap shots. Suns by 10 tonight... then they win the next 2! SUNS IN SIX!!!

[Obstructed_View]

I'm so ready for the Suns fans to go away. Go Spurs Go.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Memo to Spurs fans: Watch Monday Night Raw, Two and a Half Men, Old Episodes of Frasier on Lifetime, or David Letterman. You wont go up 3-1 tonight. Hell it already is 2-2 we just have to wait 7 hours before it is confirmed. LETS GO SUNS! LETS GO SUNS! LETS GO SUNS! :clap :clap :clap

Good question. I'm trying to find out for you right now...

[GrandeDavid]

From azcentral.com (Pat Burke's blog)

May 14, 3:21 p.m.
On the importance of Game 4: "The focus at this morning's shoot-around was really high. Everyone's trying to do everything to make sure we come out with a win. If the Spurs take this game, it's very, very, very bad for us. There's no middle ground. We're trying to get every little thing down that can make a difference. We can't control what the refs do, so we can't be looking to talk to them. We need to let them do what they're going to do. We just need to play as hard as we can."

[phyzik]

Borat is a Suns fan and is ready for the game as evidence by the foam hand....

Time to get this game. No excuses.

This is not time for a repeat of Game 2.

Get it.

Believe.

[sa_butta]

Spurs-Kick em while they are down!!!!
Lets Kick some ass!!!
The Spurs will Kickstart the offense in the first half.
I think I will drink a shot everytime I hear the word kick on tonights game.
I will be trashed before the game starts.

[Chris]

...And the Spurs easily win game 4.

[The_Game]

there is no chance in hell the spurs win in a blowout tonight. suns have too much riding on it.

Spurs win in a thriller

Spurs better keep the heads out of the perverbial asses tonight.

Bring it the fuck on guys.

None of that slow start bullshit and quit throwing the fuggin rock away in the first half. Ride the momentum of the crowd, focus on execution, and win the ballgame.

[mullet]

ok. im putting on the manu jersey. this shit is over

[Pistons < Spurs]

OK Spurs! Time to put the foot down. I've grown sick and tired of these whiny ass bitch comments from Amare and D'Antoni. These sorry little fuckers are scared of the physicality of the game? Maybe they need to proposition Stern into opening a spot on the Dleague for a new team. Maybe then they won't feel intimidated by playoff basketball.

Take care of buisness, and get the win over these Phoenix pretenders.

[easjer]

The wait is killing me. Ugh. Nervous anticipation.

All right, Spurs - so far, you guys have lived up to my predictions. Keep it up. Come out acting like champions who smell the fear in the air. Don't give up the homecourt advantage that you stole. Get in there and play strong from the very beginning. Good, solid ball movement, going inside early and often, finish hard at the rim. Strong, stifling defense for 48 minutes. Do it up right.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shit, I'm so bored waiting for the game that I think I'll watch the 2005 championship video right now.

I can't wait for the $3/game downloads to really get going - apparently they will eventually have about 40,000 games available! I'm going to get the entire Spurs 'playoff series for 1999, 2003, 2005, just for starters... I saw a lot of games in 2003 (every game, actually) and 2005 (WCFs and Finals), but in 1999 I only saw two Finals games, including the winner. I was in the UK... :depressed

[GrandeDavid]

:depressed :depressed

:lol

I'm sorry, man! You know I have the utmost respect and appropriate fear of the Pistons. In fact, the Pistons are looking at #4 this year. It could happen! So cheer up, haas. :toast

That's awesome, brother! When are they due out?

[Gros Membres!]

Game 4 vs. Denver was won on a shot by Horry. I think Horry comes up big this game as we hang around (as usual? Lol) and stick a dagger in them late. D'Antoni cries. David Stern suspends Bowen for nothing. Pop drinks chigs wine at the post-game dias. Could be the best game of the year, imho.

[GrandeDavid]

I decided to leave my wine alone tonight and sip a few cold'ns. Might be tempted to fire up a Cohiba if the Spurs get me a win. In that case, I'd sip a little cognac.

[Gros Membres!]

ok. im putting on the manu jersey. this shit is over
I am doing the same. Right now.

[GrandeDavid]

I just realized why the Spurs will win this game:

Fin Dawg is gonna light it up. He's starving for a championship and will put lots of the burden on his shoulders. He's gonna be huge tonight.

[L.I.T]

In a thriller or thrilla?

Well I know for me it's gonna be a Thrilla in Manila...*badoomching!*

[K-State Spur]

hopefully they hold the tip-off for a long time, this first game is going to go past 9:00 - ugh.

[theroc5]

Spurs win in a thriller...mybe a suns player misses the game winner...

I usually much prefer the TNT telecasts over ESPN. But the one advantage of ESPN is that they will put the second game on the Deuce when the first runs over.

I'm about to jump right out of my skin...I'm excited about this game...BRING IT ON!

Any word yet?

[drpill]

[Spurologist]

FUCK yeah

If the cavs nets game goes OT, the spurs-suns tipoff at TBS

[easjer]

Y'all caught that? Tip off delayed about 5 minutes, and they will air on TBS if Cavs/Nets go over.

I think we are in sync.

Nies and Javie.

fukin nash

[jaespur21]

Man they are coming out big tonight. No surprise - Suns need this. But. Spurs are gonna have to look a little sharper than they currently do.

Looks like a helper may be coming over on Timmy - exploit it if you can.

[Ginofan]

back on TNT

[aaronstampler]

You won't believe this, but our offense has started out of sync

[1SUNSFAN]

Keep jacking up those bricks SPURS! YESSSSsssssssssssssssss!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow, this is pitiful, thank god its still very early

[easjer]

Not happy with how things look so far, but it's early days yet. Spurs need to settle down and start being a bit more aggressive.

[GrandeDavid]

Shit start.

[Cry Havoc]

Keep jacking up those bricks SPURS! YESSSSsssssssssssssssss!

Yeah, I don't know why we're Golden State all of a sudden.

Ok, the other 3 series are all 3-1. We got this game in the bag.

[romad_20]

Crowd=lame tonight. I hope they realize it's an important game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Be agreesive.

We need to go inside and stop with those Js

[Admidave50]

Spurs playing badly in the 1st again

[aaronstampler]

Tim and Tony have to take better shots.

[GrandeDavid]

The crowd seemed fired up during the pre game. Hopefully they get rockin again soon.

[easjer]

They are currently out-rebounding us. We need to step it up.

Suns are playing as they did in game 2 -real sense of urgency. Spurs need to get all the little things, particularly if their shots aren't falling.

[Spurologist]

Nash is doing anything he wants out there. They haven't been wasy shot though.

A fadeaway over Oberto in the lane and a pull up three. Spurs are not going to beat the suns at a jump shooting game. Too many easy SUN rebounds. It's time to attack the rim.

[Ginofan]

Nice tie Sager... :lol

[easjer]

Good Oberto!

[Ginofan]

Alright Fab!

[Cry Havoc]

UM-BerTO!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow....I didn't know oberto could do that

[easjer]

Nice Tony.

Offensive Foul on Stoudemire. Good!

[Cry Havoc]

Play by play: Finley passes to Parker back to fin, Boewn in the corner to Parker who almost loses it, and DRAINS an 18 fottter!


OFFENSIVE FOUL, AMARE STOUDAMIRE!

[Ginofan]

Numero Uno on Amare haha

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Oberto

[dougp]

STOUDE-WHINER DOWN!

Btw, why did they just say that Nash is the best shooting point guard? Bitches are on crack ...

[ThomasGranger]

wow....I didn't know oberto could do that

He probably didn't either

[easjer]

Awesome Bruce!

[Ginofan]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce

[Pistons < Spurs]

Bruce!!!!! :clap

[Cry Havoc]

Boooooooooooooowen! Boooooooooooooowen!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333

[Amuseddaysleeper]

He probably didn't either


:lol

[Cry Havoc]

Ok, i seriously LOVE Oberto's hustle right now! Big O board!

13-10 suns with the ball.

[aaronstampler]

back to back nice plays by Tony

[1SUNSFAN]

And 1 BITCHES!

[easjer]

Timmy's shot is off tonight. Credit Thomas so far.

2 on Oberto. Sigh.

[Ginofan]

:lol Amare, you're better at flopping than Manu.

[1SUNSFAN]

2 fouls on Fabio... and he goes to the bench :)

[Spurologist]

:lol

If there were any questions of Elson place in pop's doghouse, they have been answered

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Net ALWAYS goes down when you need it...

I'm back though!

:)

GO SPURS GO!!!

[easjer]

Damn it. Must take care of the ball, y'all.

Score some. Please?

Defense needs to tighten up.

[1SUNSFAN]

Nash Is The Best Shooting Pg!

[L.I.T]

Well that was quick.

[easjer]

Geeze they look like shit.

[Admidave50]

5th team foul already??

[Deb]

Are we sleepwalking, or what?

[aaronstampler]

Tony's off to a 1-4, 1 turnover start

[Ginofan]

Nash Is The Best Shooting Pg!
What happened last game? :lol

[easjer]

And another bad pass by Tony.

Fuck, y'all.

[aaronstampler]

make that 2 turnovers

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we really don't want to be up 3-1 at all

[1SUNSFAN]

DAMN! This is sooo fun! Spurs SUCK!

[Ginofan]

another TO for Tony, jeezus!

[Mojazz]

any stream audio link?

[Spurs Brazil]

TOs killing us again

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jeez, we look horrible on O...

[SpursFanFirst]

18-10, Suns

[Cry Havoc]

No hack there.... Duncan with an airball.....hmmm...

[easjer]

Timmy needs to go in. The jumper isn't falling. Go in and make it happen.

[Budkin]

Holy shit we look fucking terrible!

[Ginofan]

WTF was Raja doing to that fan???

[Mojazz]

Too early to conclude...

[aaronstampler]

As usual Manu's been in 3 minutes and Pop hasn't come close to calling anything for him.

[easjer]

Nice defensive possession. Make use of this one.

[Deb]

Raja about to go at it with a SA fan?

[Spurologist]

:lol

Raja tried to talk to spurs fans and got heckled

NICE

[easjer]

Finally!

[lefty]

18-12, Suns

[Budkin]

How come the Spurs often start games so poorly against good teams? Hopefully they can pull it back like last game.

[L.I.T]

Ooook...Barry in, a spark?

[easjer]

Spurs just need to weather for now. Worry about getting to the rim.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TOs killing us again

Yeah, wtf is with that? We haven't been a high TO team until this series..?

D looks good though.

[Cry Havoc]

Shut up you F'n whiners!!!! :blah

How cute. Listen you little trolling idiot, there is a difference between making an observation and stating, "OMG THE REFS FUCKED US IN THE ASS WE WOULD HAVE WON BY 70 WITHOUT THEM."

Kindly observe that difference and shut the hell up.

[Ginofan]

Shut up you F'n whiners!!!! :blah
Ironic?

[GrandeDavid]

Awfully awful start. I'm hoping that the Suns' collective adrenaline will wear down somewhat.

[easjer]

Credit to PHX - they are scrambling for the ball and trying to keep them out of the paint.

[1SUNSFAN]

Ironic?

I was making fun of all of you babies for calling the Suns whiners... and there you go.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mmmmm, I really hope Manu's found his shot again. If so, we may actually see real Manu break out for good!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wtf is amare doing out there?

[Budkin]

God I hate 3 second TOs...

[dougp]

defensive 3 second

[Ginofan]

Playing with all these TOs and playing just plain sloppy and only down 5, WE GOT THIS.

[1SUNSFAN]

Don't worry though... I think the refs might help you back into it. Suns will still win, but they are just trying to keep the suckers from turning off their TV.

[Spurologist]

I sense a MANU explosion. No hessitation on that jumpshot 333

Spurs 25
SUNS 30

[Amuseddaysleeper]

God I hate 3 second TOs...

except that one was in our favor

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, only down by 5, I can handle that given all the TOs and poor offence.

At least the D looks good tonight, in other words, the energy is there.

not to mention we have an FT comin up plus possession


also we're being out shot by like 21 field goal percentage points


but we still need to step up, cuz another quarter like this and this game could get out of hand for us in a hury

[Amuseddaysleeper]

D'oh... I'm dum.


no you're not.......Amare on the other hand :lol

Better dish out excuses now that later

[easjer]

Ok. Hopefully things get a little better and they make some adjustments.

Biggest things to correct:

Protect the ball - better communication out there, stop the bad passes and other stupid turnovers.
Rebound - if you aren't going to score and your defense ain't cutting it, you've got to have those 2nd chance points.
Get to the rim - some of the jumpers are hitting, but overall, things will be much better if they are aggressive in the paint. Better chance of drawing contact and better liklihood of making the shot. %s can work against them too.

Made a dent, now keep it up and close out the quarters well

Exactly what I was thinking - he looked CONFIDENT shooting that. He'll bide his time until the 2nd half, but I sense another big game from him.

Suns 20-15, btw! :lol

I love your confidence, Mandy! I think you're right, btw.

[Cry Havoc]

Huge run right now.

[spursjustice]

5 points isn't that bad considering how badly the Spurs are playing :)

[Cry Havoc]

VAUGHN! Holy crap he made a shot!
