As well as Tim Donaghy assisting the Spurs to there 5 point game 3 spread and victory(actually won by 7 but thats enough to cover the spread). I'm tired of hearing about the Spurs winning three out of five championships and Tim Duncan best Power Forward ever???? Spurs whin more than Mark Cuban, Popovich is a prick, Horry a punk and Ginobilii? needs a couple more elbows from Kobe. Tony P. is the only respectable player on the team and that's cause he nailed Eva. Set all bull aside the spurs are a good team that gets GREAT calls in the postseason. They should not have won that last championship, it should have been the Suns but unfortunetly the Spurs were worth more in Vegas. It's ashame because the Spurs were lagitamite prior but the last championship should be with an asteric next to it reading, Team Effort; Stern and Donaghy Co-MVP! Spurs suck, this is the year of the SUN!

Are you kidding me Sunsfan....... I am freakin sick and tired of the complaining.... Why don't you look hard within the team you support and just ask D'Antoni to start having his players play some f***ing defense.....

My AAU team can probably teach them a thing or two on how to defend a player.

Oh by the way.... Congrats on trading the only player that was capable of defending Tim Duncan..... Other than Raja Bell who on the Phoenix squad can defend our chamionship Spurs team? I guess Grant freakin Hill is your savior this year.... Unless Kerr decides to do something with that trade exception he got from Seattle..... Go luck sunsfan, you'll need it this season.

Good one Cheryl......

You never see the Spurs go out in the media and b**** and complain that the officiating sucked or cost them the game.

You never saw the Spurs b**** about the 0.4 loss to the Lakers.... They just manned up and continued to play.......

Let me state this which NO Suns fan has been able to intelligently respond to: The Spurs won the season series 2-1, and had a better Western Conference record than Phoenix. Simply, the Spurs were a better team. The Phoenix record was inflated due to superior play vs. the East. And I want proof of Donaghy actually fixing that game. Outside of that game, the Spurs were still 3-2 vs. Phoenix, if you look at the record of the games with no suspensions or no Donaghy, it's 2-2. That to me does not equal "The Suns would have won". So shut up and go watch your team go get easy jump shots vs. poor defensive teams, get 62 wins, then run into superior defense in the playoffs and lose. You're used to that cycle anyway.

Amen! And allow me to "pile on" just a bit. To all the whiny-ass Suns fans, who think they somehow got the shaft this year at the expense of the favored Spurs, I ask you two questions:

What was your excuse during last season's WCF when your team got their assess handed to them by the Mavericks?

What was your excuse during the 2005 postseason, when your team got waxed in 5 games against these same Spurs?

The Suns play fun-filled, fan-loving, ratings-getting brand of basketball. If there was any conspiracy theory to be had at all, you would think it would likely involve somehow getting the Suns into the finals.

Give me a fucking break. Face it. Look in the mirror. There aint no conspiracy here. In the meantime, grow the fuck up! Man up! Lace'em up and try again next season.

Why do you think Donaghy got busted in the first place? Those who win their bets don't get caught. But if loose, it's the MAFIA, or the FBI. If only the Suns would have won the championship, then maybe Donaghy might have had enough to pay off those dirty MOBSTERS. What a shame. :dramaquee

I see these guys in scottsdale club hoping all the time parting like the have a championship. marion and amare more then the others. If they wanted to win a championship they would be in the gym trying to work on their game. The problem is that they are a young minded spring break party team chasing groupies all the time. So on that note. They will never win. period.......

You have us played so well that we react immediately. Does that sound right - you're an embarassment to the sparkles fan base. Most Suns fans and most Maverick fans have understood that their teams just weren't good enough to win the title in '07. So keep posting dumb comments and at the end of the day you come across just as pathetic as the sparkles playoff effort. Please keep grasping for some satisfation to offset the utter disappointment for being a fan of a team that time and time again comes up short. Just pathetic - deal with it and move on b/c you're anticts are old and tired.

If all you have to bitch about is the Spurs being "boring", then you have absolutly no idea on what your talking about. It's not about the dunks, it's about the GAME, which is exciting enough by itself if you are a TRUE basketball fan. You play to win the game, not to get on Sportscenter's top ten list.

The 07 Finals were boring but that had more to do with the Cavs not being a worthy opponent. 05 Finals were boring but Detroit and San Antonio were both excellent teams that excel in halfcourt execution on both ends of the court, so they brought out the boring in each other. On their own they're not boring. I love how dumb_suns_fan brings out massholes like Simmons to support his "arguments" when even Simmons himself says the Spurs aren't boring and have unfairly gotten a bad rap for a lot of the league's sins.

The Spurs have been involved in pretty exciting basketball over the years (03 semis against Lakers, 06 semis against Dallas, 04 semis against Lakers, 07 semis against Phx). And they can play any style you want: you wanna slow it down and grind it out, like Cleveland, Utah or Detroit does, okay, fine, they'll beat you in the half-court. You wanna run, okay, fine, they'll run and beat you at your own game, like they did to Phoenix in 05 and 07.

Part of it is that they are competing on a world stage against the JV, the leastern conferance. It's inevitable that the Spurs will play down to the level of their competition. The games against the Denver,Phoenix and Utah were to me highly entertaining. Then in the biggest series of the playoffs, well the Cavs made it a non-competive series, thus boring.
