Re: Spurs are now "the bad guys"
I heard the SPURS hatred all day yesterday and this morning. I have XM Radio in my car and I listen to Fox Sports radio, it seems they are on the Phoenix Suns payroll. The whole lineup is sniveling bout the whole suspension fiasco this morning. They had on GEOFFREY C. ARNOLD on there yesterday and he wasn't holding back his hatred for the Spurs. Saying that TD is a whiner, Bruce is a dirty etc etc. He brought up if the Spurs should win the Championship this year, that there should be an asterisk. I almost wrecked when I heard that! The b*tch pulled a "Phyllis" Jackson with that bullsh*t!! :ihit

If you stick out an arm, it's a clothsline. If you try to bearhug, his momentum will make it look like a full takedown/tackle. If you try to touch him with your hand, it either doesn't get called (and the clock ticks on) or it looks like slap or even a punch.
What was Horry supposed to do? What is the "accepted" play? Can anybody tell me? :)
He should have whipped it out and slapped Nash across the face. That would have only been a flagrant 1.

If anyone thinks this is gonna be some kind of cakewalk for the Spurs, they haven't been watching the series. The Suns can beat the Spurs w/o Amare.
And even if the Suns do lose tonight, does anyone believe the Spurs are going to get anymore calls for the rest of the series?
This thing is going to Seven, and the Suns will have a great chance to win game 7.
Nothing is over, nothing has been decided yet, the Spurs have not won.
I agree. I see Phoenix having the edge now more than the Spurs. They are going to turn this into some type of David vs Goliath. Phoenix will be the heroes fighting the mean, dirty, evil Spurs. HAHA, It's kind of funny actually, I would never, ever have thought the Spurs would be the bad boys of the NBA. :lol

Seriously get over it. The Spurs are not dirty. If anything Robert Horry didn't do a very smart play on Nash. But Suns fans must be real pansys if they think the Spurs are really that physical. Anyway Suns fans welcome to the playoffs.

I think Horry could have just grabbed his jersey...
remember, the refs knew the Spurs needed a foul.
But, then again, didn't they miss the intential Finley foul earlier? You could argue that Horry wanted to make sure...

This article pisses me off.
It totally ignores the fact that the Suns have been getting away with shit all series. Their only method of playing defense is to push off and hang off of the Spurs' jerseys (I'm looking at YOU, Kurt Thomas, Steve Nash).
It clouds the fact that yes, even though the Spurs missed shots in the final minutes of the 4th quarter in game 4, that the reffing in game 4 heavily favored the Suns. Were it not for the suspensions THAT is what the conversation would be about and the advantage/momentum would be Spurs.
This is the best thing that could have happened to Phoenix and might be what saves them. Like you, I just hope the Spurs go out and bury their sorry asses and ignore the idiot media.
Further it pisses me off that Spurs fans and media aren't standing up for themselves. Stop the guilt trip. We didn't suspend Amare.

Re: Spurs are now "the bad guys"
It would be incredibly ironic if the Suns beat the Spurs tonight, and the Spurs come back and beat the Suns in Games 6 and 7. But my anxiety level would be a lot more managable if the Spurs come out, win this game, and then win the series with Amare back on the court in Game 6. I want this series OVER.
I agree that Horry's foul has gotten way overblown. The more I think about it, the more I think it's even ridiculous he got suspended, much less for two games. It was a hard foul, made to look worse by Nash's ridiculous flop and Amare and Diaw choosing to leave the bench like they're in the Old West. And OK, kick him out for the rest of the game, but then downgrade it, don't leave the bench (you are, after all WINNING THE GAME, at that point, dumb asses), and play on. If the Suns hadn't overreacted to the whole thing, none of this would have happened.

They didn't. The Spurs were punished for Horry's poor judgement. Phoenix was punished for their stupid play. Amare knew the rule and broke it. End of story.

Re: Spurs are now "the bad guys"
Suns fans act like the 5th game of the conference semi's is the 7th game of the NBA finals and these suspensions have 'robbed them of their destiny'.
Funny actually.

Re: Spurs are now "the bad guys"
Funny how spurs fans are blaming refs for not making calls. Must be some kind of defense mechanism. Sigmund would have an answer.
The rest of the country see's the spurs as scumbags. Spurs need to take a dive in this game. Try to restore some integrity.
I know you people are frustrated, so you circle the wagons to protect your one horse town, but that horse is a jackass. Throw this game.
Do you really want something you didn't earn?

:lol That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title.
The league needs the Spurs so they point their fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So what's that make the Suns? Good? They're not good. They just know how to hide, how to lie.
The only person I feel bad for in all of this is Steve Nash. He's conducted himself with more class than the rest of his team put together in this series, and he has to get saddled with extra responsibility because his teammates can't keep their heads on straight.

Oh, I don't think they're bad boys, maybe that's what you think is bad in Texas, but here, that's just cowardly. Knees to the groin and flopping around, that's for pussies. Nash busted his nose wide open, was bleeding all over the place and he was concerned about your flop-artist. They're not bad boys, they're yellow cowards, pussies.
