Congrats to the Suns

For me, it just officially became baseball season. Title #2 to Phoenix, I can feel it!!

I think the Spurs have just beaten they're toughest matchup of the post season.

It is amazing either way how closely faught these games have been the last 2 seasons. The Spurs continue to come out ahead, but if 1 thing just falls differently in so many of those games, the outcome could have been very different, and I will be disappointed to not see these amazing games much more.

Good luck the rest of the way.

Good to have you around Spider.

I dislike a number of things about the Suns, but they played hard as hell. Another year with the same players/system, PLUS a deeper bench and they will have another shot (even with D'Antoni, although that may take some convincing).

Anyways, my chest hurts. Fuck the playoffs.

This thread makes me laugh. Congrats? They lost in five games. Worse than last year.

All I hav to say is, "OOFFFFF with their head (coach)!"

Great series with some awesome and intense moments. Too bad it had to be the first series.

With our luck, it's D'Antoni and bust for another season.

Agreed, except I say keep D'Antoni- he makes it all the easier for the Spurs to win.

That was the toughest elimination game I've seen the Spurs have to win since Detroit game 7.

I say the Suns should get a backup point, give playing with Giricek, Hill and Shaq another season.

Suns team were too talented to go out the first round. They just got the unlucky draw.

If I'm a Suns fan, the thing I'm most worried about is Nash getting old. He plays like he aged about five years since last season's playoffs.

Well, Dantoni is officially gone...

I dont believe his bad performance was due to his age, he played quite well before Shaq's trade, the new system ruins him. But Shaq won't retire, and Nash will still play "like he aged about five years since last season's playoffs":toast:lol

I didn't notice it so much in the middle of the series, and I thought it was just Bowen. But I guess it was easy to forget just how good this guy was a couple years ago. No way does the Nash in the last two games drop 48 points.

As much as a workout fiend Nash is, D'Antoni overplayed him in regular season.

His deceptive quickness and penetration skills were pretty much gone after game 2.

for the series:
18.2 ppg , 3.80 rpg, 2.0 apg....how is that terrible??? plus he was in foul trouble tonight.

worry about your own team holmes.

tough match up for us.. i am SO happy we don;t have to play them again!

On the bright side, Diaw has come alive. Maybe he's worth something after all?

congrats suns and sfans. Ya'll put up ahelluvafight. I have alot of respect for what Nash has done in his carreer. I hope your new coach will find someone he can mentor for the upcoming season because IMO Nash will retire after next year before he starts embarassing himself. Shaq should too. Diaw has shown he's got a decent post-up game, and should be utilized that way a bit next year. Only bad thing about it is that it slow the team down and takes away from Amare's game. I've said too much. Again, Props to the Suns and their fans. Here's to ya,:toast.

It was an entertaining series, and even though we lost, it was great seeing some of our guys play with so much heart in those last couple of games. In the end, it might be a blessing that the Suns lost so early in the series: Kerr will likely fire D'Antoni now and hopefully we'll get a more defensive minded coach.

Get Carlisle up in this bitch!

LOL at people thinking that Nash simply choked and ignored the fact that the Spurs designed their whole defense to take the ball out of his hands, and force Diaw and Stoudemire to make decisions throughout the series (Stoudemire in Games 1, 2 and 3, then Diaw in 4 and 5).

Spurs played pretty good defense throughout most of the series (except Game 4 of course), and that is the reason the Suns struggle. That is also the reason the Spurs can win these ugly games.

screw the suns... they get no respect from me. you talk shit you eat shit!
