Spurs vs Suns Game 5 - Game Blog

[duncan228]

I love when Shaq misses.

[Budkin]

Come on Timmy quit putting that soft shit up there.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What is wrong with Manu?

[spursfan09]

dude manu's timing is off or soemthing

[milkyway21]

the Suns are rewarded with 18 FTs good that they're cold from there at 50%.

Spurs 7-7 FTs

Spurs up by 2

[Borosai]

I can't believe they are playing like this with a chance the end the series. Wake up.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I would've gone with Barry, but Udoka getting it done.

[samikeyp]

ouch....3 on Manu

[TampaDude]

Shit. Manu with 3 fouls.

[Budkin]

Manu with 3... jesus.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

3rd on Manu

[lefty]

Fuck Manu with 3 fouls

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Udoka is saving our ass.

[ballhog]

Gino doesn't have it tonight. Good hack tho.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Ime gets the rebound.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is banged up - groin and ankle.

[spursfan09]

udoka bring the energy nice to see

[samikeyp]

Shot selection is for shit in this quarter.

[td4mvp21]

Excellent defensive change by Pop. Did anyone else see how well that worked?

[lefty]

Great Defensive Rotation !

[TampaDude]

Thanks, Snaq!

[DazedAndConfused]

Wow Shaq is killing them on offense. If he had even a shred of his old ability PHX would be up big.

[SpurAddict561]

come on damnit

we keep gettin opportunities to score and we don't

let's go damnit!!

[01Snake]

Can we get some fucking offense?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good lord, Nash just spun in place without a dribble. I guess you get 2-3 pivot feet if you're in purple and oragne tonight.

[milkyway21]

this is not good Manu w/ 3 fouls already b4 halftime?

[1Parker1]

Interesting move my Pop, putting Udoka on Nash and Bowen on Stoudamire.....

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu doesn't have the elevation. That groin injury is rearing its ugly head at the worst possible time.

Terrible news.

[Spurs Brazil]

KT is ice cold

[Budkin]

Helter Skelter basketball... Tony needs to keep taking it in.

[dbreiden83080]

6-15 come on Timmy we need you big guy, got to step it up.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Stop bloody jumpshooting.

Ime with a great O board - he is our best offensive rebounder.

[hsxvvd]

It's all in the defence. Need to keep this energy up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Excellent defensive change by Pop. Did anyone else see how well that worked?


Wait, you mean Finley on Diaw in the low block doesn't work? :wtf

[td4mvp21]

The Spurs should be playing better. They really should.

[dbreiden83080]

Tim needs to get some better shots, don't settle

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Interesting move my Pop, putting Udoka on Nash and Bowen on Stoudamire.....

I noticed that as well. I never thought I'd get excited over a defensive 1 on 1 matchup, but I am!

[boutons_]

looks like back-n-forth all the way home

[samikeyp]

this is not good Manu w/ 3 fouls already b4 halftime?

He will sit until halftime and hopefully a poor 1st half will lead to a good 2nd half, with Manu it usually does.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Interesting move my Pop, putting Udoka on Nash and Bowen on Stoudamire.....

And Tim on Diaw. :tu

[1Parker1]

Well, the fact that the Spurs are in this game at halftime with Ginobili having just 2 points and in foul trouble is good news I guess.

[Spurologist]

Excellent defensive change by Pop. Did anyone else see how well that worked?

Finley can only get dominated inside for so long before something in your head clicks that you might be doing something wrong

[lefty]

Udoka is the only Spur playing like a man so far

[td4mvp21]

Wait, you mean Finley on Diaw in the low block doesn't work? :wtf

Apparently it "worked" for 2 quarters :bang

[Borosai]

If only the rest of the players would hustle like Ime.

[samikeyp]

Wait, you mean Finley on Diaw in the low block doesn't work? :wtf

Ohh....and I thought Finley was doing that on purpose to make Diaw feel better.

:lol

[spurchamp]

Cruising right now! Spurs will put these losers away in 2nd half!

[hsxvvd]

I'm feeling a bowen baseline 3.

[Budkin]

I'm praying that Manu explodes in the 2nd half.

[DespЏrado]

I think we will see whether the Spurs came to win or lose in the next next few minutes. They get a little offense going and things start looking a lot better for the second half.

I do like that we aren't playing from behind but we are just begging for a 3rd quarter romp from the Suns if we haven't brought our A game by then.

[dbreiden83080]

Come on Spurs finish the half strong lets GO!!!

[ballhog]

Finley can only get dominated inside for so long before something in your head clicks that you might be doing something wrong

He needs to work on that low ball strip that Boozer and Karl Malone had mastered.

[Spurologist]

The Pheonix FUNS

:lmao

[samikeyp]

I'm praying that Manu explodes in the 2nd half.

me too. Manu usually makes up for bad halves.

[lefty]

D'Antoni WTF

[1Parker1]

:lmao @ D aNTONI telling Duncan he can't go in the came cuz Shaq is resting. Duncan replies, "oH, he can keep resting"

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm praying that Manu explodes in the 2nd half.

The only thing that's preventing me from punching my couch when it comes to Manu in this game is that he usually gets pissed and rarely lays an egg from tip off till the game's end.

I see him playing better after halftime.


Nice to see D'antoni having fun with Duncan :lol

[Xylus]

D'Antoni to Duncan: "I got Shaq resting, you can't come in."

:lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

if we're going to shoot Js, get Barry in there in the corner.

[mystargtr34]

Tim thought Dan Tony was joking.

[SpurAddict561]

Kurt the beastttttttttttt

[lefty]

Kt !

[samikeyp]

good hustle by KT

[Budkin]

Kt!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

KT!!!

He came to play!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kurt Thomas with the huge offensive board! Fuck yeah!

[TampaDude]

Kt!!!

[ballhog]

KT is the man!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Thomas Off Rebound

[samikeyp]

D'Antoni to Duncan: "I got Shaq resting, you can't come in."

:lmao

That actually was pretty funny.

[Xylus]

Fucking Hack-a-Shaq.

Worst thing ever.

[TampaDude]

:lmao @ D aNTONI telling Duncan he can't go in the came cuz Shaq is resting. Duncan replies, "oH, he can keep resting"

That was pretty funny... :lol

[spursfan09]

I feel kind of like Spurs are waiting to turn it on, wish it wasn't like that, but thats what i feel.

[Spurs Brazil]

KT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job

[Borosai]

I wonder who's going to foul out tonight as a result of Hack-a-Lard.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

As I said before, this game = 4th quarter basketbrawl.

[lefty]

:lmao @ D aNTONI telling Duncan he can't go in the came cuz Shaq is resting. Duncan replies, "oH, he can keep resting"

:lmao

Damn, I like D'Antoni now; fuck:bang

[Xylus]

Shaq has been absolutely worthless today on offense. He's like a black hole of bricks.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Tony, Shaq isn't going to block it, step into your jumper.

[Budkin]

Goddamn jump shots are so fucking off.

[hsxvvd]

Anybody worried this game might go like game 1. If so, we're in massive foul trouble and this hack a snaq could really hurt.

[1Parker1]

Shit, now Parker has gone cold on offense....he was on the only Spur with any offense going today...

[td4mvp21]

The Spurs have got to find a way to score, what they are doing ISN'T WORKING POP.

[SpurAddict561]

I really do hate Hack a shaq

fuck man

[Budkin]

We've gotten scared to take it inside again.

[milkyway21]

19 fouls Spurs to Suns' 7

[TampaDude]

Shaq has been absolutely worthless today on offense. He's like a black hole of bricks.

:lol

[DespЏrado]

God I hate Hack a Shaq...Hate it, it's Pop telling his players that's okay you don't have to play defense, I'll do it for you.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Total disrespect to Pop for this shit. Trust in the D fer universesake!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Amare picks up the foul on Parker. There we go.

[Budkin]

There you go!

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto in for TD

[lefty]

I really do hate Hack a shaq

fuck man

You'll thank Pop later

[samikeyp]

no basket but 2 on Amare now.

[ballhog]

Amare got called for a foul?

[Budkin]

That's what I'm talking bout TP!!!

[spursfan09]

TP is fast. I know thats like the understatement of the year

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good D!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Whoever said Udoka is the only one who's come to play, how about TP???

[samikeyp]

Foul on Vavoso. :)

[Budkin]

Good defense and great rebounding!!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Fabri please make the FT.

[Xylus]

Nash, again... completely worthless.

We're not going to win this game unless Steve Nash shows up.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Come on Fab!

[DespЏrado]

You'll thank Pop later

We are capable of winning without it, or I don't want the Spurs to win. Honestly.

[Spurologist]

Oberto misses these and D'antoni goes to hack-a-oberto

[Southwest Texas Fan]

WTG Fab!!

[SpurAddict561]

Fab daddy hits both

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Let Udoka shoot the rest of the half, kid is hot.

[Xylus]

Nash hasn't had a good game since Game 1. What the fuck is his problem?

[samikeyp]

Think we can convince D'Antoni to do hack-a-Finley? :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

man, these guys are so LAME.

"weeee". it's "oui", a short syllable, you fuck.

[Spurologist]

Great D

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bowen with the great D on Amare!

[td4mvp21]

Now that's SPURS DEFENSE BABY!!!!

[spursfan09]

excellent defense

[Budkin]

Spurs D FTW!!!

[ballhog]

Good D

[mrcoon29]

Bowen.Is.A.Very.Big.Man.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pop is using an awful lot of timeouts lately.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Two straight great defensive possessions.

[101A]

We are capable of winning without it, or I don't want the Spurs to win. Honestly.

Tim was playing with 3 fouls; hack a shaq prevented 4th...figure it out...once under 2 min. he was pulled.

[SpurAddict561]

great defensive set there Bruce!!!!!

fuckin awesome

way to step the intensity up before the half

let's keep THIS UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[1Parker1]

Good defense by Bowen, Udoka, and Thomas.

[samikeyp]

ok eat some clock, take one good, last shot.

[lefty]

Playing like shit and up by 6 ?

I'll take it :D

[boutons_]

smothering defense on the last possession.

not let's get the final bucket for the half. ok ok ok

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nash hasn't had a good game since Game 1. What the fuck is his problem?


Does he have a nagging injury or something? I am just as surprised as you are.

[Budkin]

I love the defensive intensity!!!

[td4mvp21]

Total disrespect to Pop for this shit. Trust in the D fer universesake!

I'm sick of people bitching about this. The Spurs are trying to close out the Suns, I do not care how they do it, just do it. We need to win this game!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nash hasn't had a good game since Game 1. What the fuck is his problem?

Bowen and TP have defended him very well, but I agree - has he worn down by playing too many minutes again?

[SpurAddict561]

Duncan only has 2 fouls

[Xylus]

I can't believe Nash has completely disappeared in this series. Unfuckingbelievable.

Imagine if Tim Duncan suddenly went into hibernation, stopped scoring, stopped rebounding, stopped playing D.

[Borosai]

*I don't want to see Finley out there again unless a) he's ready to make some 3's b) everyone else has fouled out

[ballhog]

A nice little 3 before the half would be sweetness.

[samikeyp]

Lefty....that banner is sacrelidge. Bird was 1000X the player Irk is. :)

[spursfan09]

Tp!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker to the rack. Hell yeah!

[td4mvp21]

Yes!!!!

[lefty]

Tonyyyyyyy

[samikeyp]

Tp!

[TampaDude]

TP and 1!!!

[Spurologist]

Tp!!!!!!!!

And1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Not enough Barry in this game for my liking. We've been shooting Js all day, but he's the one who should be shooting them.

[Budkin]

TP baby and 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

Tony fucking PARKERRRRRRRRR

who said Tony didn't show up?

the dude is a competitor!!!!!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

haha TP looked like a little kid after scoring the And 1 with his jersey coming un-tucked and looking really tiny

[milkyway21]

I'm praying that Manu explodes in the 2nd half.I have a feeling he'll deliver a TKO :lmao (homer)

it is good news that the Spurs are now making all their FT shots incl Oberto :clap
11-11
Alleluyah!!!!!!
:flag:

[boutons_]

fucking Tony, great move And1

[marini martini]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ballhog]

TP is magnifique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[samikeyp]

get the FT and don't let them score.

[SpurAddict561]

is he working on 41 again?

[1Parker1]

Parker and 1!!!! Man, he and Udoka are the only ones showing fire. If it weren't for Parker, the Spurs would be in a double digit hole right now.

[hsxvvd]

Nice.

[Spurologist]

8/8 Ft Tp

Damn

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Great great closeout to the half :tu

[Xylus]

Nash looks tired as fuck.

[Budkin]

Fuck yeah Spurs!!!!

[td4mvp21]

The Spurs are very fortunate to be up this much at the half. They played very poorly on offense.

[samikeyp]

hell yes, up by 9 at half.

The good thing is that the Spurs can still play better.

[SpurAddict561]

Great D Bruce, way to prevent the easy quarter closing shot by Steveo

let's go boys!!!! keep the gas pressed damnit

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[boutons_]

yes, super finish to the half

[Xylus]

Suns have missed 13 FT's. Awesome.

[ballhog]

Nice way to end the half. Up by 9

[lefty]

Lefty....that banner is sacrelidge. Bird was 1000X the player Irk is. :)

I agree with you.

I just thought it was funny, especially the Bird pic

[Budkin]

That should take away some of the Suns hope... keep it up!

[DazedAndConfused]

It's all over PHX. Game, set, match.

[Spurologist]

:tu

K. Thomas is the enforcer we needed inside

[lefty]

Nash looks tired as fuck.

True

Thank D'Antoni for refusing to play the bench

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm sick of people bitching about this. The Spurs are trying to close out the Suns, I do not care how they do it, just do it. We need to win this game!!!

I'm sick of you and others defending it, but that WASN'T MY POINT in that post.

My point was that we have a great defensive team - why not trust in it??? I'll take our D against any team any day.

[SpurAddict561]

I LOVE Kurt Thomas man

I knew I was gonna love him when I heard the news, especially after how tough he made it for Timmy last year

the guy is a beast, simple as that.

[marini martini]

I'm PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[milkyway21]

54-45 Spurs ! :elephant

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fixed. :toast






























:lmao

[TampaDude]

Spurs play so-so and are still up 9 at the half...I'll take it.

The first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter will decide this game. Book it.

[1Parker1]

Spurs up 9 all of a sudden at the half thanks to good defense by Bowen/Thomas/Udoka and great offense by Parker. :tu

All this with Ginobili having 2 points in foul trouble, and Duncan scoring 14 points, but not having a good offensive rythmn.

[Budkin]

We need to come out in the 3rd and step on their throats...

[dbreiden83080]

Great finish to the half

Tony played awesome
Tim played OK, he needs to take some better shots
Manu has to stay out of foul trouble

[WildcardManu]

go for the jugular now that the dog is down

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great end to the half by TP, and before that the Udoka insertion and Udoka/Bowen junk defense worked wonders.

Now hopefully they can crush these mofos coming out of the break and end this once and for all.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Suns back down to shooting 39%

:tu

Spurs at 44%

[marini martini]

Fixed. :toast


Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!































Yet:lmao:lmao:lmao






























:lmao

[Spurologist]

Nash looks tired as fuck.

When you go two deep at the pg slot and your back up is Barbosa, it's no wonder Nash is tired as fuck.

Plus Bowen has him on straightjacket D

[dbreiden83080]

9 pt lead come out agressive, push it to 15 or so, stay on em guys, this is where champs are made in these moments.

[samikeyp]

First Half Stats:

Suns 39% from the floor, Spurs 44%
Spurs lead in rebounds 28-23
Spurs 12-12 in FT's, Phx 11-24
Spurs have 6 TO's to the Suns 5

[mrcoon29]

Parker and 1!!!! Man, he and Udoka are the only ones showing fire. If it weren't for Parker, the Spurs would be in a double digit hole right now.

Well, while I do agree with your statement, I also feel that they aren't exactly passing the ball around..Phoenix is affecting this a bit, but really just where is our passing this game? I hope Tony doesn't get wore out playing like this.
The rest of the team needs to be better involved. And Manu just may not show up tonight - it happens sometimes.

[Borosai]

Intentional fouls have their place and time, but Pop may be falling in love with it, which is not good. Snaq definitely missed enough of them to make it worth it, but don't overdo it man.

[td4mvp21]

I'm sick of you and others defending it, but that WASN'T MY POINT in that post.

My point was that we have a great defensive team - why not trust in it??? I'll take our D against any team any day.

I know what you mean, I don't think Pop should be using it as much but you have to understand that he's trying to keep Phoenix from gaining momentum. If they score 1 out of 2 every time, that's better than 2 or 3 everytime down. Even if they hit both, at least they aren't gaining momentum. That's how Phoenix beats teams-they get the momentum.

[mVp]

Thanks Tony for this great 1st half!

Manu, wake the fuck up!!

[dbreiden83080]

Suns back down to shooting 39%

:tu

Spurs at 44%

Suns shoot 40% we should win

[SpurAddict561]

In other news, Scola is ripping shit up right now

lol, I couldn't resist.

[TampaDude]

We need to come out in the 3rd and step on their throats...

Yup...the Spurs need to blow it open in the 3rd...don't give the Suns any life at all in the second half...

[milkyway21]

Nash looks tired as fuck.reminded me of that game last yr when he was 0-9 in the 1st 3 Qtrs:lol
Same look.

This is not good for you Suns fan

[dbreiden83080]

Go Spurs GO

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Go Rockets!!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs better put their foot on the Sun's throats and take it tonight.

[Mister Sinister]

I agree with you.

I just thought it was funny, especially the Bird pic

You're right. That's pretty damn funny.

[Capt Bringdown]

Intentional fouls have their place and time, but Pop may be falling in love with it, which is not good. Snaq definitely missed enough of them to make it worth it, but don't overdo it man.

It worked in completely humiliating the Suns in game 3. I think it's brilliant.

[mystargtr34]

Duncan should have 20... hes missed at least 3 easy ones

[TMTTRIO]

Manu obviously looks injured. I'd say since he's not doing a thing out there that we just sit him out the rest of the night.

[Xylus]

I don't buy Barkley's argument that Diaw's aggression takes away from Steve Nash's aggression.

[samikeyp]

Manu obviously looks injured. I'd say since he's not doing a thing out there that we just sit him out the rest of the night.

No, you keep him in there because even if he is not doing anything, his presence requires attention which opens things up for others.

[samikeyp]

I don't buy Barkley's argument that Diaw's aggression takes away from Steve Nash's aggression.

I would agree....the Spurs don't have an answer so far for Diaw in the post...if it works, you keep doing it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I know what you mean, I don't think Pop should be using it as much but you have to understand that he's trying to keep Phoenix from gaining momentum. If they score 1 out of 2 every time, that's better than 2 or 3 everytime down. Even if they hit both, at least they aren't gaining momentum. That's how Phoenix beats teams-they get the momentum.

If Phoenix were still a run-n-gun team I'd agree with you, but they are not, they have become a half-court team as our dominance of the fastbreak points has shown.

Trust in the D. Hack-a-Shaq has worked today, sure, but do you continue it in the 2nd half with a lead? When do you stop it? After Shaq has hit 4 in a row? 6?

TRUST
IN
THE
D.

That's how we won 4 trophies.

Anyway, I won't mention it again unless it comes back to bite us in the arse.

[spyder]

so far so good...hopefully we can keep it up so we can rest up for the Hornets

[1Parker1]

I'm honestly very worried about Ginobili. If he doesn't get healthy and quick, even if the Spurs get past the Suns, they're going to have a very hard time in the next round with a 50-70% healthy Ginobili.

And what's up with the sleave on Parker's leg? He has a contusion or something?

[samikeyp]

Trust in the D. Hack-a-Shaq has worked today, sure, but do you continue it in the 2nd half with a lead? When do you stop it? After Shaq has hit 4 in a row? 6?

yes. although I agree with you about trusting in the defense.

[2Blonde]

What is the halftime score?

[1Parker1]

I don't buy Barkley's argument that Diaw's aggression takes away from Steve Nash's aggression.

I think it's more Bowen and the Spurs team defense on him.

[TampaDude]

What is the halftime score?

54-45 Spurs

[samikeyp]

54-45

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu obviously looks injured. I'd say since he's not doing a thing out there that we just sit him out the rest of the night.

Groin and ankle.

[samikeyp]

What is the halftime score?

You're not watching? :depressed

:)

[td4mvp21]

If Phoenix were still a run-n-gun team I'd agree with you, but they are not, they have become a half-court team as our dominance of the fastbreak points has shown.

That's how we won 4 trophies.

Anyway, I won't mention it again unless it comes back to bite us in the arse.

True. I both laughed and frowned at Pop's answer in Game 4. "Will Shaq making his free throws stop you from using the strategy?" Pop: "Probably not." I'm not fond of the strategy but I'm not disgusted with it either. It's worked so far so how can I complain?

[2Blonde]

54-45 Spurs
Thanks

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hornets are a tough team. I picked them in 6, too. :D

And the Pistons have awoken. That one might go 7.

[1Parker1]

Spurs halftime show is a little dog catching frisbees???? :lmao They couldn't find anything better??

[Spurologist]

:lol

Barkley's dogs: Mango and youwho

[SpurAddict561]

god I hope we can keep this shit up

come on boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys

[samikeyp]

Spurs halftime show is a little dog catching frisbees???? :lmao They couldn't find anything better??

I guess the spinning plates dude was booked. :)

[dbreiden83080]

Play like champs for 24 min Spurs come on

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs halftime show is a little dog catching frisbees???? :lmao They couldn't find anything better??

Maybe the regular Dog got sick

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I can't believe those guys were saying "that's a 3"... so you throw an alley-oop pass from behind 3 and it's a 3???

Talk about brain explosion! :lmao

[DazedAndConfused]

So assuming SAS closes this game out when do they play NOH?

[TampaDude]

Play like champs for 24 min Spurs come on

+1

24 minutes to New Orleans, guys...LET'S DO THIS!!! :toast

[duncan228]

And what's up with the sleave on Parker's leg? He has a contusion or something?

Something happened in game 4. He was icing it on the bench.

[mystargtr34]

so far so good...hopefully we can keep it up so we can rest up for the Hornets

Damn... that girl in ur sig.. the first two pics especially... Damn

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Scott shouldn't have won CotY - Adelman should.

[TampaDude]

So assuming SAS closes this game out when do they play NOH?

Good question...I presume they would have several days off...Game 1 would probably be on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn... that girl in ur sig.. the first two pics especially... Damn

That is not a "girl", man, that is a heavily airbrushed WOMAN. :lmao

Grass-is-greener illusions will eat your soul.

[samikeyp]

Scott shouldn't have won CotY - Adelman should.

I would respectfully disagree, I think Scott did a better job, IMO. Adelman did a great job though with the Rockets.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If Phoenix were still a run-n-gun team I'd agree with you, but they are not, they have become a half-court team as our dominance of the fastbreak points has shown.

It's got its place but I agree Pop seems to have an overreliance in it. I'd only use it if they got on a 4-6 point run. Take a look at the last two minutes. We didn't do any fouling, just hunkered down and played D, and went from a tie game to a 9 point lead.

If he comes out with Finley on Diaw again I'm getting on the next flight to SA to beat some sense into him.

The Udoka on Nash, Bowen on Amare, Tim on Diaw, Kurt on Shaq defense is looking good.

[samikeyp]

That is not a "girl", man, that is a heavily airbrushed WOMAN. :lmao

You say that like its a bad thing. :nerd

This game is all about the 3rd quarter - Spurs start the second half with energy and it's over, if not, DANGER.

Suns 11-24 from the FT line. Can we end the Hack-a-Snaq/Skinner bitching now?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's got its place but I agree Pop seems to have an overreliance in it. I'd only use it if they got on a 4-6 point run. Take a look at the last two minutes. We didn't do any fouling, just hunkered down and played D, and went from a tie game to a 9 point lead.

If he comes out with Finley on Diaw again I'm getting on the next flight to SA to beat some sense into him.

The Udoka on Nash, Bowen on Amare, Tim on Diaw, Kurt on Shaq defense is looking good.

Exactly!

use it as an occasional momentum-breaker ONLY.

Trust in the D and we take a nice lead. :tu
