Spurs vs. Suns Game 2 - Game Blog

[Admidave50]

FUCK SHAQ, Flagrant foul! Watch the replay fucking blind Suns fans

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is hilarious. The moment we intentionally foul Shaq, D'Antoni pulls Shaq. Like clockwork. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bowen is an offensive liability hence not used alot in this series..

Well, duh. :rolleyes

But he was used in past years because he made a difference on D. Not any more, apparently.

[td4mvp21]

Oh are you kidding me Pop? Another Hack-A-Shaq?

[WalterBenitez]

We are flopping right?

[Deb]

Snaq knew what he was doing with his flopping comments - Refs serving it up to him on a friggin platter

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Hack a Shaq.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

FUCK SHAQ, Flagrant foul! Watch the replay fucking blind Suns fans

:lol

Eject Shaq for letting Parker run into him!!

[boutons_]

vicious, abusive, dangerous hip check by shaq on tony

[lefty]

Suspend Shaq for 1845 games :flipoff

[naico]

Damn Pops a genius nd Dantoni is NOT getting it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We're really fucking up the end of the half.

[statman32]

HAHAHHAHAHHAH Someone try to stop Amare. I dare you. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Small ball, TD is the big

[T Park]

Pop

My God Why Would You Take Out Horry!?!?

Why?!?!

Omg!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I want to see more open 3s from Barry. he looks confident, and his shot is falling.

[itzsoweezee]

this defense is pretty pathetic

[Spider TX]

Big shock, Spurs fans whining about fouls again!!

You all have no right to call any Suns fans whiners after reading this last page and a half of whining.

[Supergirl]

did i miss a link for a live feed? is there one?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Hack-a-Shak show its ugly face :lol

[lefty]

TP

tough guy

[WildcardManu]

Parker said "Jump monkey" and Amare jumped.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

25 points for Amare. Fuck.

[milkyway21]

TP must shld start his crossover and make Shaq into foul trouble.

[Budkin]

Damn man why have we been down 10 the whole game?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Since when did the Spurs just go layup line on defense?

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu with some lousy plays

[lefty]

Parker said "Jump monkey" and Amare jumped.

:lmao:lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!!!

STop now

[dolacheck]

Well snaq got what he wanted, the refs are swallowing thier whistles when it comes to Amare and snaq, go figure, whine to the press you get what you want

[statman32]

:lol

Bitches crying about calls when Parker just smacked Nash from behind.

[td4mvp21]

Pop better make some fucking adjustments on defense by the Spurs.

[boutons_]

damn, Tony's showing some real fight and balls.

Please, some other spurs start scoring

[Admidave50]

Nash is a fucking flopper and comedian, you gotta be fucking me!!

[lefty]

:lol

Bitches crying about calls when Parker just smacked Nash from behind.

Exactly

TP was the giver

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Half-time assignment - how the hell do we slow down the Nash-to-Amare show???

Can't do that, we're in deep shit.

[statman32]

Is this a SUns forum?? Ive never seen this much whining. :lol

[Deb]

Come on - get a lead Spurs so we can get rid of the annoying trolls

[mystargtr34]

Fucking Amare Stoudemire....

[TampaDude]

Nice walk, Stat! :lol

[WildcardManu]

:lol

Bitches crying about calls when Parker just smacked Nash from behind.

yeah it's all :lol for Sons fans till the 2 minute warning in the 4th it turns to :madrun

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Scary for Suns fans: Phoenix has shot 63% for the half and are only up 7.

Scary for Spurs fans: Phoenix has shot 63% for a half against SA and Amare's hitting everything he throws up.

[td4mvp21]

Half-time assignment - how the hell do we slow down the Nash-to-Amare show???

Can't do that, we're in deep shit.

Either trap it or go under.

[WalterBenitez]

Was Nash shot with an AK 47? or just flopping?

[lefty]

Manu WTF ?

Again.......

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, get it to 5... or 4 - Barry in the corner for a 3.

[Deb]

OK - Suns only up by 7 so we can do this. They won't keep up their shooting percentage

[clubalien]

Damn Pops a genius nd Dantoni is NOT getting it.

I think he is setting up pop to always pull shaq and then when pop really needs to hack a shaq and depend n it.. shaq will stay in and make all his free throws:downspin:

[Budkin]

Shitty D and bad jumpshots ain't gonna cut it.

[magui86770]

51 out 54 points by the big three..we need other scorers

[td4mvp21]

The defense, lack of ball movement, and disappearance of the role players is ridiculously pathetic. It really is. I don't know how Pop can be content with this shit.

[milkyway21]

Well snaq got what he wanted, the refs are swallowing thier whistles when it comes to Amare and snaq, go figure, whine to the press you get what you wantSpurstalk hates it when Duncan whines:wakeup
so forget it.

[Allanon]

Was Nash shot with an AK 47? or just flopping?

Nah, that was a valid hit, Manu got him good with that elbow point right into the ribs...that's gotta hurt like hell

[itzsoweezee]

keep bowen out the second half. the spurs can't compete with his lack of offense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Half-time assignment - how the hell do we slow down the Nash-to-Amare show???

Can't do that, we're in deep shit.

http://theassociation.blogs.com/the_association/horry-decks-nash.jpg

[Spurologist]

TP 21
MANU 17
TD 13
BARRY 3

Those are all the spurs points

[T Park]

I'll take down 7.

The bigs have GOT to bring SOMETHING.

I mean Oberto Thomas have StUNK.


What the hell, Horry was OK in the time he played, give him some more PT out there.

STOP DOUBLE TEAMING NASH ON THE GODDAMN PICK AND ROLLS!!!!

ARGG

[WildcardManu]

calm down people, it's only the first half

[WalterBenitez]

-7 at halftime, isn't bad?

[Xylus]

Spurs not getting anything from their role players.

Ginobili, Duncan, Parker = 51 points
Total Spurs points = 54 points

[mystargtr34]

Is this a SUns forum?? Ive never seen this much whining. :lol

You come across as a real bitch :lol

I dont know why... but you can tell your a fan that when the team is up your going to call out opposing fans and be a smart ass and :lol after every sentence.

but when the tide turns and the Spurs are winning the game tonight in the 4th ur gonnna turn into a sour grape...

I just described 99% of Suns fans... but you just stick out more than the rest.

Oh

:lol

[lefty]

OK - Suns only up by 7 so we can do this. They won't keep up their shooting percentage

I don't know

Nash can't miss, it's frustrating.

We need more Bowen on Nash in the 2nd half, to take him out of his game

[Spurs Brazil]

Halftime

Suns up 7

Stoudamire killing us - 25pts

Defense is terrible, Suns FG 62%

Big 3 with 51pts, rest of the team 3

[WildcardManu]

pop will probably make adjustments for the second half

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Was Nash shot with an AK 47? or just flopping?

Flopping, unless you really believe a scrawny elbow from Ginobili has the force to knock Nash from the FT line to the baseline. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They have to start missing jumpshots some time, so we've got to force them into 3rd options like Bell and Hill. Right now Nash/Amare/Shaq are getting whatever they want.

[statman32]

http://theassociation.blogs.com/the_association/horry-decks-nash.jpg

I thought the Spurs were all class? :lol

[T Park]

Scary for Suns fans: Phoenix has shot 63% for the half and are only up 7.

Scary for Spurs fans: Phoenix has shot 63% for a half against SA and Amare's hitting everything he throws up.


Amare usually starts missing once the game starts to get tight or in the 4th, Ala game 6 last year missing 4 straight FTs.

[dbreiden83080]

61% shooting good GOD.

[Capt Bringdown]

Just to be down 7 seems like an accomplishment in this game. Yes, our defense sucks, but Phoenix played some decent D in the 1st that put us in this hole.

[boutons_]

spurs just gotta hold their 48% and bring down the suns 61%. too many open jumpers made by suns, too many open jumpers missed by spurs.

RB tied, spurs hustling better

[T Park]

I thought the Spurs were all class? :lol



Its the playoffs, butch up.

[td4mvp21]

Spurs not getting anything from their role players.

Ginobili, Duncan, Parker = 51 points
Total Spurs points = 54 points

God, we know!! It's painfully obvious :lol

[Pistons < Spurs]

Oberto, Finley, Bowen, Udoka and Thomas have a combined 46 minutes ... and ZERO points.

[JohnnySixString]

So.....not much has changed as far as how they've been playing all season long then. It comes down to hoping the Suns play shittier than the Spurs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'll take down 7.

STOP DOUBLE TEAMING NASH ON THE GODDAMN PICK AND ROLLS!!!!

ARGG

Way to show your lack of hoops knowledge. Our bigs are supposed to be hedging on Nash to slow him down, they're just doing a shitty job of it.

[sa_butta]

I'll take down 7.

The bigs have GOT to bring SOMETHING.

I mean Oberto Thomas have StUNK.


What the hell, Horry was OK in the time he played, give him some more PT out there.

STOP DOUBLE TEAMING NASH ON THE GODDAMN PICK AND ROLLS!!!!

ARGG
Exactly, let Nash shoot from the outside one on one and play down to the bigs.

And for gods sake please keep penetrating, the J's are going to kill us.

[gilmor]

U guys need to relax.. Spurs will always lag behind the Suns till the 4th quarter..

That's how the game will pan out

Pop knows that Spurs is more dangerous playing catchup..

If Spurs lead by half, chances is that they prob will lose the game against the Suns

[Allanon]

Big 3 with 51pts, rest of the team 3

This is an unbelievable stat.

[dbreiden83080]

pop will probably make adjustments for the second half

There is nothing to be doen about Amare he is gonna go for 50 the way this is going.

[T Park]

The defense, lack of ball movement, and disappearance of the role players is ridiculously pathetic. It really is. I don't know how Pop can be content with this shit.



Uh who says he is....

[statman32]

Flopping, unless you really believe a scrawny elbow from Ginobili has the force to knock Nash from the FT line to the baseline. :lol

Are all 23000 posts of yours whining?

[WildcardManu]

I thought the Spurs were all class? :lol

This is a Spurs forum, you may feel you're right, but everyone here knows you're wrong.

[DazedAndConfused]

The Spurs big 3 are logging heavy minutes and they are literally the only players scoring. You gotta wonder if they'll have the energy to close out the game.

[boutons_]

only 4 spurs scored in first half vs 6 for suns

Michael and Kurt have to give us a few points

[td4mvp21]

Apparently the Spurs keep telling themselves the Suns will start missing because there is NO intensity on defense at all. This is really mediocre defense.

[T Park]

This is an unbelievable stat.

Well lets look at it.

Horry has 1 shot
Finley has 1 shot
Barry has 1 shot
Vaughn none
Udoka 1
Thomas I think 2
Oberto none I don't think.


I mean, little hard to get anything out of them when the big three are almost literally taking every single shot.

[statman32]

U guys need to relax.. Spurs will always lag behind the Suns till the 4th quarter..

That's how the game will pan out

Pop knows that Spurs is more dangerous playing catchup..

If Spurs lead by half, chances is that they prob will lose the game against the Suns

Except AMare and Shaq arent in foul trouble tonight. You guys are in big trouble.

[fred33]

longoria is at the game?

[Whisky Dog]

Good offense by Suns but some bad defense as well by Spurs.

I give Amare credit. He seems to be maturing with the media a bit.

The Spurs just have a way of sticking around in the 1st half even when their opponent is playing the best they could possibly play. Make no mistake, the Suns are clicking at 100% right now. Time for the law of averages and playoff Spurs D to bring the Suns down.

[td4mvp21]

Uh who says he is....

We'll find out after halftime, when we see if there are any adjustments made...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Big 3 aren't trusting the roleplayers either. Barry had 1 shot and made it, why not feed him and see if he's hot???

Need Thomas to step up and get under Shaq's skin, hack the fuck out of him any time he gets near position. Make him shoot FTs.

And hope Nash does an ankle! :lol

[T Park]

Except AMare and Shaq arent in foul trouble tonight. You guys are in big trouble.

Whatever makes you feel better.

[dogzofwar]

When has 54 points being scored not a good half. You have to tip your hat to the suns that half....they put the basket in the hole...simple as that. Our defense was fairly solid but they just made good shots. If anyone shoots 64% for a whole game...they would never lose. If the Spurs play another solid half...they will win! The Suns will probably finish the game around 50%. Give the guys a break...if the Suns would of missed just 3 of their shots they made...this would be a tied game.

[MannyIsGod]

I think you'll see more Bowen on Nash in the 2nd half. I also think you'll see some different looks and maybe even a bit of zone to slow down Amare. I can live with him hitting jumpers but we need to make him miss at some point. He's getting fed in perfect spots by Nash.

I don't want to see anymore traps off of the screens, though. The Suns are way too good at moving the ball for that to work without some tremendous weakside help which isn't going to come unless you play Horry more and he's healthy. Even then, I just think its risking a lot.

[T Park]

Way to show your lack of hoops knowledge. Our bigs are supposed to be hedging on Nash to slow him down, they're just doing a shitty job of it.

Have parker stay at home on him
and stay with Amare

why is that stupid?

[T Park]

Oberto, Finley, Bowen, Udoka and Thomas have a combined 46 minutes ... and ZERO points.

Once again

look at the shots taken.

[duncan228]

longoria is at the game?

They haven't shown her if she is.

[statman32]

This is a Spurs forum, you may feel you're right, but everyone here knows you're wrong.

I always thought Spurs fans were classy but when yuo guys are losing, you are just like most Suns fans. Anyone can see that.

[Crookshanks]

Thank goodness that half is over! Let's hope Pop can make the right adjustments and someone else besides Tim, Tony and Manu can score.

Oh - and can somebody PLEASE stop Amare.

and I'm sooooo tired of players who whine to the media and then get rewarded. I REALLY, REALLY hate Shaq!

[T Park]

Big 3 aren't trusting the roleplayers either. Barry had 1 shot and made it, why not feed him and see if he's hot???

Need Thomas to step up and get under Shaq's skin, hack the fuck out of him any time he gets near position. Make him shoot FTs.

And hope Nash does an ankle! :lol


Well the problem is Thomas already has 3 fouls.

I think Oberto too.

Go back to hack a shaq, apparently that ends the Shaq threat :lol

[td4mvp21]

Once again

look at the shots taken.

It all leads back to ball movement. Rotating the ball would help....

[spursfan09]

So is Shaq suspension coming soon? He knocked TP to the ground same way Horry did to Nash last year... :lol Except TP didn't flop

[T Park]

Yeah it almost makes you want the Spurs to do it.
Fuck it though.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Barry and Thomas are the key to the second half (beyond the obvious big 3).

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I always thought Spurs fans were classy but when yuo guys are losing, you are just like most Suns fans. Anyone can see that.

nah see, we don't ban you ass for being an annoying little bitch. That's the difference

[peskypesky]

we need to at least try Bonner

[WildcardManu]

Avery is gonna get fired this year.

[statman32]

So is Shaq suspension coming soon? He knocked TP to the ground same way Horry did to Nash last year... :lol Except TP didn't flop

Are you kidding? Nash knocked him into Shaq. :sleep

[peskypesky]

Barry and Thomas are the key to the second half (beyond the obvious big 3).

Finley too

[naico]

Are all 23000 posts of yours whining?

Are all ur posts this creative? Are u just stuck on repeat?

[T Park]

It all leads back to ball movement. Rotating the ball would help....


Suns defense is playing well.

But I agree, better ball rotation would help a tad.

Gotta get Barry and Finley some open looks though.

[Budkin]

I can't wait until we come back and win this game and all the Suns trolls disappear.

[samikeyp]

I always thought Spurs fans were classy but when yuo guys are losing, you are just like most Suns fans. Anyone can see that.

yes because all Spurs fans think alike. :rolleyes

[Admidave50]

TP played beautifully at the end of the half while Manu kinda sucked, he should have passed the ball to Finaly for the last shot instead of trying to hit an improbable 3!

[T Park]

Are you kidding? Nash knocked him into Shaq. :sleep

and nash embellished when he got hit whats your point?

Its still a hip check.

[peskypesky]

who can defend Amare? only team defense can...

[WildcardManu]

I always thought Spurs fans were classy but when yuo guys are losing, you are just like most Suns fans. Anyone can see that.

You're just like an annoying mosquito that keeps on lingering around the ear.

[spursfan09]

Are you kidding? Nash knocked him into Shaq. :sleep

wow you are really dillustional. Anyways TP won't go crying to the media, like your Suns would so don't worry. nothing will happen. Spurs can play like men.

[peskypesky]

props to Tony...he's getting beaten up and STILL taking it to the whole every chance he gets

[T Park]

who can defend Amare? only team defense can...


Yeah I agree with mannyisgod, throw a little more zone in there and force him to shoot those outside jumpers.
If he makes those, you live with it.

[statman32]

nah see, we don't ban you ass for being an annoying little bitch. That's the difference

:lol

I dont think Ive said anything that isnt true. I see whining, I will take note, Suns fans, SPurs fans it doesnt matter.

I see people talking about hip checks? I will take note especially since I alwyas thought Spurs fans were classy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What about some Red Rocket? Let's get him to run aroundlike a chicken with no head!!! :lol

[T Park]

props to Tony...he's getting beaten up and STILL taking it to the whole every chance he gets

Yeah Tony has played well, hopefully he has enough in the tank for the second half. Ginobili hopefully gets agressive to the hole again.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Have parker stay at home on him
and stay with Amare

why is that stupid?

I didn't say it was. I said all the hedging and feints by our bigs aren't doing shit except giving Amare an easy run at the hoop.

I'm with ya on making the change defensively

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

T Park - Thomas and Oberto only have 2 fouls each. They have to make Shaq earn everything.

[T Park]

:lol

I dont think Ive said anything that isnt true. I see whining, I will take note, Suns fans, SPurs fans it doesnt matter.

I see people talking about hip checks? I will take note especially since I alwyas thought Spurs fans were classy.

We are classy.

Its just you guys have turned into absolute pusses and don't know playoff basketball.

[Bulwark]

who can defend Amare? only team defense can... You're right, to a certain extent. I always thought that Duncan has done a decent job on Amare, but now he has to worry about Shaq and he's not getting any help from the other Bigs. Man, I wish Horry was a 100%.

[DazedAndConfused]

Incredible that Barry is the only player outside the Big 3 with any points. Big 3 is going to run out of gas unless someone else steps up.

[statman32]

yes because all Spurs fans think alike. :rolleyes

I'm sorry but 8/10 posters in here have been whining constantly. They ned to heed there own advice. If your team is good enough, they will overcome the refs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Are all 23000 posts of yours whining?

I wasn't whining in that post, just making an observation. Or do you really think a glancing elbow from Manu while he's spinning off the dribble is going to knock Nash back 20 feet? :lol

[naico]

Isiah is now a team adviser but is banned from any contact with the team??? LOL

[td4mvp21]

Suns defense is playing well.

But I agree, better ball rotation would help a tad.

Gotta get Barry and Finley some open looks though.

Definitely, gotta give the Suns defense credit. I said it earlier, Pop is having the team play right into their hands. They want to take out all role players and force 1-on-1 with the Big Three. So far it has worked. Playing the shittiest defense this team has ever played in a playoff game doesn't help either. Pop really does need to get Barry and Finley open looks. Thomas knocking down wide open jumpers would help too.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm sorry but 8/10 posters in here have been whining constantly. They ned to heed there own advice. If your team is good enough, they will overcome the refs.

Hey, we're just taking after your fat ass center who hasn't shut up about flopping since game 1. Fucking deal with it.

[peskypesky]

Bonner can stop Amare! I know he can! :)

[T Park]

T Park - Thomas and Oberto only have 2 fouls each. They have to make Shaq earn everything.


I thought Thomas got an offensive foul for a third, sorry.


Agreed, Oberto won't do that though.

Thomas will kick the shit out of the fat ass.

[T Park]

Hey, we're just taking after your fat ass center who hasn't shut up about flopping since game 1. Fucking deal with it.


Yeah amazing how Sun fan always forgets that.

[peskypesky]

will the Suns ever miss a shot? jesus freakin' christ...

[statman32]

Hey, we're just taking after your fat ass center who hasn't shut up about flopping since game 1. Fucking deal with it.

Ive already said multiple times I think SHaq should shut his mouth. Two wrongs dont make a right. Be the better man.

[spursfan09]

Incredible that Barry is the only player outside the Big 3 with any points. Big 3 is going to run out of gas unless someone else steps up.

how many times are you going to post that? We get it....

[T Park]

Thomas knocking down wide open jumpers would help too.

Yeah Thomas's were WIDE ass open. Threw them up there VERY hard.

Dunno what his deal was, with the damn Suns those shots were fucking automatic.

[samikeyp]

I'm sorry but 8/10 posters in here have been whining constantly. They ned to heed there own advice. If your team is good enough, they will overcome the refs.

Proof please.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I think the Spurs need to push the tempo into getting to the rim before Shaq does


I'd love to see TD run the floor more and establish a low post position much like how Shaq does on our end to get easy baskets


and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD can someone besides the big 3 help out?

No way the big 3 alone will beat this Suns team, it's gonna take a group effort

[jdelar03]

Just a thought could Bowen guard staudamire, I know he does great on dirk and just leave Parker on nash. Any thoughts.

[Deb]

nah see, we don't ban you ass for being an annoying little bitch. That's the difference

get off the spurs fans classy stuff. See above post, nuf said

[DazedAndConfused]

It's funny that we are now talking about the Spurs fastbreaking on the Suns. How the times have changed......

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lol

I dont think Ive said anything that isnt true. I see whining, I will take note, Suns fans, SPurs fans it doesnt matter.

I see people talking about hip checks? I will take note especially since I alwyas thought Spurs fans were classy.

well, seeing as though the people you saw talking about hip checks don't necesarilly represent Spurs fandom in its entirety, how about you stop trying to diss Spurs fans, and focus on arguing your point??

Seems to me you're more interested in dissing than anything else. Which wouldn't really set you apart from the others idiots that have migrated here from the ASFN and .net forums... with a few exceptions

[GrandeDavid]

Aggs, nice tiddiez.

[Bulwark]

how many times are you going to post that? We get it.... Run some plays for Brent!

[T Park]

Just a thought could Bowen guard staudamire, I know he does great on dirk and just leave Parker on nash. Any thoughts.


Too strong and he actually has a pair and will take Bowen to the hole.

No you need a guy honestly like Splitter or Mahinmi for Stoudamire...

[samikeyp]

It's funny that we are now talking about the Spurs fastbreaking on the Suns. How the times have changed......

Very true.

[td4mvp21]

Proof please.

Only a handful of Spurs fans in this thread (if even that much) are complaining about the officiating. Most (like myself) are incessantly complaining about the Spurs shitty defense and lack of ball movement.

There has been a lot of contact let go tonight. At first it was on the Suns, but the refs let the Spurs get away with contact too so it's all good.

[T Park]

Hey Amused, I'm flattered you quoted me, but could you have at least fixed my spelling error? :lol JK thanks man :toast

[Deb]

Hopefully, the half time ass chewin will help

[statman32]

I post over at insidehoops because I cant stand asfn. Whatever. Enjoy the game. Maybe you guys will have relaxed after the game. I know gametime can cause people to act like they normally wouldnt.

I never have a problem with the refs if its being called both ways the same.

Agreed with the rest.

[ballhog]

will the Suns ever miss a shot? jesus freakin' christ...

Hope they start soon. Otherwise, Bonner could come in and foul Shaq at least 6 times.

[Bulwark]

Like me, I think most fans were just kidding.

[T Park]

Hopefully, the half time ass chewin will help


I don't think Pop will go to the ass chewing fountain.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hey Amused, I'm flattered you quoted me, but could you have at least fixed my spelling error? :lol JK thanks man :toast

haha no worries, the sig was in good jest anyway
:toast



Hopefully we kick things up in the second half

[Manu20]

Anyone else think that Barry should take Udoka's minutes in the second half?

[spursfan09]

Yeah I agree with the officiating tonight. I don't agree with Amare and his dunks at all.

[td4mvp21]

I post over at insidehoops because I cant stand asfn. Whatever. Enjoy the game. Maybe you guys will have relaxed after the game. I know gametime can cause people to act like they normally wouldnt.

We are frustrated and having a Suns fan (although you may not be like the rest) lecture us about whining isn't going to help :lol

[WildcardManu]

I'm sorry but 8/10 posters in here have been whining constantly. They ned to heed there own advice. If your team is good enough, they will overcome the refs.

Let me guess, you weren't able to register on the Sons forum so you had to troll on ST.

[samikeyp]

Only a handful of Spurs fans in this thread (if even that much) are complaining about the officiating. Most (like myself) are incessantly complaining about the Spurs shitty defense and lack of ball movement.

There has been a lot of contact let go tonight. At first it was on the Suns, but the refs let the Spurs get away with contact too so it's all good.

I agree but that poster said 8 out of 10 and I don't think its that much so I asked him to prove his statement since he stated it as fact.

I am on record as not being on the "blame the refs" bandwagon. To do so, IMO is cowardly.

[boutons_]

Swapping baskets, but we gotta close the gaps.

4th qtr D has to brutal.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Big 3 need to pick a few guys they trust, and actually let them shoot once in a while. Let those guys be Barry and Finley open from 3, Thomas open on baseline, Oberto anywhere near the hoop.

[Supergirl]

Down by only 7, Suns aren't going to keep shooting 60% all game.

Amare can score 40, Spurs need to shut other people down and keep Nash from getting other people involved. Spurs also need SOMEONE other than the big 3 to score, which is a familiar refrain.

[Deb]

I don't think Pop will go to the ass chewing fountain.

Maybe the ass chewin puddle:hat

[T Park]

We are frustrated and having a Suns fan (although you may not be like the rest) lecture us about whining isn't going to help :lol

Very true.

[Bulwark]

Anyone else think that Barry should take Udoka's minutes in the second half?

Depends on what we need more: offense or defense. It seems to me they cancel each other out. Barry is somewhat of a defensive liability and the same can be said of Udoka on offense.

I know, my statement was directed at him. I agree with you.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Barry played a big chunk of the 2nd Q, and I think he has to play as much as possible in the 2nd... but he needs to get the ball wide open from drive and dish. Unleash Barry, seriously. I feel like he could drop 20 tonight.

[boutons_]

if the suns finish the game with 61%, Spurs won't get it

[vander]

[Don Quixote]

Suns haven't won squat, why should any of their comments have any merit???

Well ... I agree that their comments don't have any merit, but it's not because their loser squad hasn't won anything.

However, your statement commits the ad hominem logical fallacy, in which a statement is true or untrue merely because of the source. Rather, their statements are true or false because it cooresponds to what is true in the world.

The Spurs rule because they have 4 titles, not because I said so.
