I'm thinking league-wide conspiracies involving both on-court officials and New York-based executives are something other than "improbable coincidences."

Re: Gut Check For Suns Fans (True Hoop)
Don't feel sorry for Suns fans. Just because your team is good doesn't mean they are entitled to an NBA championship. Their fans should be thankful that they have such a talented basketball team that frequently makes the NBA playoffs.
Just imagine being an Arizona Cardinals fan.
Shit, that didn't help, did it?

Yeah right, but when the series will "really" or "essentially" be 3-3 in the mind of Suns fans, they will wonder why the Spurs move on to the semis while they can go fishing !
The only thing I liked in this B/S paper is the comparison between Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan.

Re: Gut Check For Suns Fans (True Hoop)
The Suns have played better than us for three quarters this series. The Spurs played better than them or at their level: 3rd, 4th, overtimes in Game 1 & 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in Game 2. The Suns, in both games, were only up because they played significantly better than the Spurs in the quarters they outplayed us. I don't see how they have played better than us.

Re: Gut Check For Suns Fans (True Hoop)
It's not like these are a massive 2 games out of 7.
No need to get down after two losses. Who won the regular season battles, The Suns, the Suns are better.
At worst, the Suns are tied with the Spurs 3-3. But one of those Suns game Shaq wasn't here. So count that as a Suns win. And Game 1 of the Playoffs was pratically a Suns win. So if you think about it, this year the Suns lead 5-1. The Suns are the better team.

Those who didn't anticipate this being another trauma-causing series were either dead, blind or naive.

And, yes, to all those "Registration is closed" walled off homers who parade around under the title of fan, how's (once again) taking the Spurs for granted working out for ya? Hiding in your opinion-protected forums, isolated from common sense, stroking each other's "fandom" to the point where only pro-Suns goo is splattered in post after post, mocking those who think different and the forums who give them a platform to post.
Spurstalk afraid? More like PHXsuns.net is afraid to venture beyond the paths littered with broken pair after broken pair of rose-tinted glasses.
Most would say you post in security. I'll say that from this "security" the only bother your keeping out is smarts.

Re: Gut Check For Suns Fans (True Hoop)
Good.
Spurs fans shouldn't feel sorry for the Suns fans if we end up winning the series.
I want the Spurs to be ruthless.

I love how the Suns just cant get over any losses. It seems each loss they get they have some hair brained theory for.

I guess we "essentially" beat them by 20 in game one, if you don't count the many uncharacteristic mistakes we made in the first half. What a load of crap.
I Completely Agree!
WoW
Essentially...I find this really rude...
The only thing that makes me feel better is that the Suns think they are the "Better Team"

Has Henry Abbott always been this much of a complete tool? He's essentially parroting the D'Antoni party line.

Re: Gut Check For Suns Fans (True Hoop)
Only thing I know is if they lose Game 3 its over. D"antoni is on thin ice with his support in the front office is dwindling.

What. The. Fuck.
The Spurs and Suns did play Game 1 over again. It was called Game 2. And the SPURS won.
Abbott needs to stick to linking to bullshit articles and making bulleted lists. Dumb ass!

Did Abbott really write this? I usually like what he has to say, but this is just ridiculous.
