At least the Suns weren't in a coma for 43 minutes. Jesus Christ. What was YOUR excuse? Please tell me Barkley wasn't right when he said you guys were "affected" by the bad press. Please.....no......act like champs!Quote:

I agree they played well but don't tell me it was a throwaway game when the starters played practically the whole game.Quote:

IMO, this Suns team is just as talented as San Antonio, and we've had the talent to get to a championship for the past three years and have come up short every time. It's time for a change in coaching.Quote:

Jeff Van Gundy. Perfect mix. Get the ball upcourt as quickly as possible and then stand there for the remainder of the shot clock.
Actually he used the word "devastated".Quote:

when asked on tv if he would guarantee a victory for the SUns, D'antoni actually considered it, but then finally backtracked. LOl what a fucking retard.

Sometimes it seems that these guys worry about everything but the game. It's a miracle that a team that worries and spins so much off the court can actually play damn well on it. This is absolutely ridiculous.
The context makes it clear he's saying that it's a "thowaway" only in the sense that he doesn't think it should interrupt Phoenix's momentum from Game 4. I.e., now that it's over, throw that game out, because it wasn't representative. He uses this idea a lot when something extraordinary happens, like the team shooting 30% for no apparent reason, or whatever. He means that you shouldn't draw hasty conclusions from the game. His comments before the game were crystal clear that he thought the Suns could win and would go all out to try to win, so it wasn't a "throwaway" in the sense that he was throwing in the towel before the game was played.
He joined the Suns in '02 and worked with Pat Riley before that. The reason I bring him up is that he's been mentioned as a potential head coach for Memphis or Toronto. Plus, he's seemed to do a good job in the games when he had to coach after D'Antoni was ejected.Quote:

I'm a firm believer that for the most part, the team takes on the personality of its coach.Quote:

KG and Nash are both class guys who have received all other accolades besides a championship, and I think that their collective drive would lead us to a ring.

That's a big difference in age, and KG has showed up for about the same number of big playoff games as Amare has, which shouldn't be encouraging. KG doesn't help get the Suns past the Spurs. They'd be better off teaching Amare how to play D without fouling and maybe install a seat belt in his place on the bench.Quote:

yea, but KG never has played with the caliber of players the Suns haveQuote:
