Not that big of a deal. The team on the court needs to get back on D and show life.
You have got to be ing kidding me.
Amare and Shaq on the bench, Boris Diaw (!) in to guard Tim, and we take Tim out.Phoenix promptly goes on 9-0 run.
Small ball has officially gone too far.

Yeah, it's not that big a deal. It's not like we could have finished them off with Tim on the low block, took him out, Parker s up five possessions in a row, Phoenix goes on a 9-0 run and takes the lead.
You realize if we lose tonight, end up tied with Phoenix, that they would have the 3-1 regular season tie breaker and have home court should we meet in the post-season, right?
That was the WTF move of the night.
small ball.
On a b2b, the Suns still beat the Spurs
I'll be amazed if we push them past 5 games in a playoff series at this rate.
we were up by 9 when tim was bench with 3mins left in the 3rd still to play
lame, at least close it out damn it
Aggie isn't a fan of small ball, in case no one here has noticed.
Spurs get a sizeable lead in the first. Benches tp and lets the suns come back. ing pathetic.
manu should have bought a ticket tonight
The major factor in the game tonight. Manu looks like Barbosa from last year's series. Barbosa looks like Manu from last year's series.
This is looking more like the season we got to watch the Lakers kick our ass while being treated to old man Terry Porter fall down 30 feet away from the basket with the game on the line.
The Spurs front office ed up this past off-season when they said they liked their team and were going to rely on their AARP role players this year.
It's awesome watching us burn another year of Duncan's prime because our front office went retirement home on us last summer.
Tim should have never been on the bench in that situation. This is Phoenix we're playing, they can erase a 9 point lead in no time.
That was the time to go for the jugular, but Pop got caught up in his stupid matchup game.
Well, should we get pummeled in the playoffs, maybe this will get the FO to pull their head out of their ass and actually clean house outside the big three.
The ball movement is just completely non existent.
I just don't understand how the team could lay a goose egg this late in the season on their own home floor.
Just wow.
This 2nd half has been more about the Suns playing very good D, taking the Spurs out of their rhythm and the Spurs' inability to shoot well over the zone.
Taking Duncan out didn't help but that isn't the story here.
We had 9-10 point leads twice in this game, and both times Pop took out the player who had single handedly built those leads (Parker in the first, Duncan in the third).
Somehow he managed to find a way to get outcoached by D'Antoni.
Oh, seven points in the fourthGood job, Pop. All these ign AARP scrub role players definitely look ready to compliment Tim in the post-season.
This loss is on Pop and Manu. Pop for being an ass and limiting Tim's minutes. Manu for playing like dog .
Kurt Thomas was pretty sucko too.
Solid D, just lay it on us
How far do you this year's team going?
Sorry, I disagree. We had all the momentum when Tim got both Shaq and then Amare into foul trouble. Phoenix was on the ropes, we subbed Tim out and put in Thomas and Finley at the 4 and 5, and Phoenix promptly attacked the rim and wiped out the entire lead in about 3 minutes.
It was the pivotal moment in the second half of this game, and Phoenix never looked back. Horrible strategic decision by Pop.
I can get him in the past going small to match up with the likes of Dallas, but his infatuation with small ball has gone too far when he benches Tim Duncan with a chance to finish off the Suns.
Pop is also an idiot for not riding the hot hand. Finley couldn't miss tonight, but he got very few shots.
Pop is an offensive moron.
Getting worked by D Antoni.
71.6 PPG for the Spurs in their last three games. I'm sure TPark will be along shortly to ask me how many NBA championship teams I've coached...
Got to agree with Aggie here. That was a chance to step on their throats and Pop screwed it.
why aren't Spurs fans making fun of the shaq trade anymore? i thought it was a bad trade for phoenix?
...hope you guys feel stupid. and while i still like the Spurs over phoenix, they are better with shaq.
Complacency never wins les.
Neither does making trades that help the compe ion and signing players that can't compete.
Way to piss away a great opportunity to repeat.
We're going to cherish our le years when it's all over and look back in agony at years like this.
what has manu averaged in that stretch
