A sight for Suns fans' sore eyes
06/05/2007 06:48 PM
Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were back on the court Tuesday.


On whether the Spurs are dirty: “I think so. I think there are times where they are – they get dirty out there. But, it is the playoffs, so I guess you to live with it. I think they definitely had a few dirty players out there on the court.”

On whether the Suns would be in the NBA Finals if he had not been suspended in Game 5 of the conference finals: “I think so. I think game five is definitely one of the most important games of a series and with me not being able to play in game five, it definitely hurt us. We definitely had a chance to win still, but I wish I could have played that game and it probably would have changed the outcome.”

On whether the NBA should have looked at the rule (leaving the bench) subjectively: “I was going in more as a peace maker type of a approach. I caught myself too once I stepped on the court – I caught myself for a second because I didn’t play last year and I forgot about the rule and I was just reacting off of a natural reaction. I think you should take a look at it (the rule) and try to tweak it -- you can’t change it too much because you want to keep teams away from the altercation.”

On his summer plans: “I am going to summer school at ASU. I always wanted to go to school, but it was so easy for me to not go to school once I got drafted out of high school. My summer has been so hectic from World Games and different types of events going on in the summer, it was always tough for me to go to school. Now I have a chance to go back and I am going to go ahead and give it a shot.”

He's proven once again that he just a stupid whiny in and not a leader by any stretch of the imagination.

He can all he want.............from a fishing boat.

him and the Suns.

The force of the asterisk is strong in this one.

I disagree. I think if someone from the Suns had cheap-shotted Tony Parker in front of the Spurs bench then Duncan would have been on the floor. , he went on the floor during the potential or non-altercation earlier in the game (Bowen had to pull him back), so obviously he would have done it during the real deal and especially for a top player. It's just a natural human reaction. The point of the rule is to prevent fights, so it succeeded; flexibility should be applied to its enforcement, as it was with Duncan, taking into account whether the player actually joined the altercation or caught himself after the initial, instinctual response. These aren't robots they're human beings.

I'm surprised you guys are arguing this. I would have thought you'd have liked to beat the Suns full strength rather than have an asterix next to your le.

Funny little Celtic...I see no ing mark next to the W...Does anyone else?...If so than ur a ing idiot...they were full strength games 1234 and 6....if they were better than why didnt they win 4 games to beat us? We won 4....they won what...2?....they didnt even push it to 7!...ill even give u whiners game 5 ok...but te fact still remains they lost game 6 while we were down Robert Horry....Who just happens to have a Rep. of making big s in the playoffs....For those who think the outcome would have been different are ignorant...This series should have been called The Spurs b4 it started....and not even bcuz im a Spurs fan...But I mean number one....Do the Suns ever beat us? Do they not always ALMOST make it? Do they play D?(no)...I mean come on....make all the excuses u want.....lets say Denver would kick anyones but since they have to great players on their team...(but if only they had more time to gel...sighs...ahhh....)this is the game for those who are skeptical....we live and so do they by this.... ing happens....if only Ginobili wouldnt have fouled last year...if only MJ wouldnt have hit that last second shot....ah it....Shut up es...

We need to play better defense sure, but there doesn't have to be a fundamental change in our system or team concept.

Jacking up shots early in the shot clock with an unbalanced floor is the fundamental system. That doen't make for good defense.

Don't bother trying to talk sense into the Suns fanboys. They still have faith in their gimmick system. Maybe next year when Spurs/Mavs/Jazz/Houston/Denver knocks em out they'll see the truth. Their window's closing fast though so I can't see them improving much unless they make some drastic changes(getting rid of D'Antoni, trading for KG, etc)

[Avitus1]

What was the excuse or excuses when they lost to the Mavs last year?

[ginobili fan]

STFU es.
The game 6 proves that the spurs are superior.
End of thread.

[Obstructed_View]

We own you, !

[Rummpd]

The Suns had a big lead over the Bored Spurs who came out flat late in the game when their supposed MVP, the supposed 6th man of the year (a total joke after the way Barbosa choked game 1 and game 5 etc.), and Marion (one of the most over-rated stars in the game = who always comes up small WHEN it counts) in the 4th and choked it away in game 5 when in a moment of pure justice, Bruce Bowen slammed the door on the whinny Suns.

Then in game 6 they came up far short again as the dominance of Duncan with 9 blocks was huge and the rest of the Spurs toyed with the over-matched Suns - who are now about 5-15 against the Spurs over the last three years. STATS don't lie, the Spurs are the Suns daddy, end of story.

Suns need to look internally they have came up short 3 years in a row with Mr. 0-97 to get to the finals in Nash and an over-hyped coach and a soft defensive center that got 1st team NBA (a laughable selection as Camby, Yao and Howard are better if you look at both sides of the ball - but of course STAT man and the Suns supposed play won out on that battle. Gimme a break, Amare is nothing more than a scorer helped by a savy point guard (who also cannot play any defense0. Where is the focus on the dumb *&^ Raja Bell who gave nothing in the series except challenging Horry to an altercation? Give up the whining all the Suns fans and anyone who thinks like that. There is no friggin ***, the Spurs have had by far the toughest road to the finals and trounced 3 and soon it will be four opponents. After they destroy the media darling in James, you have to give them their due. Watch and learn.

You can speculate all you want, but it's a moot point.

It's just a natural human reaction.

So is wanting to strangle someone, but there are "rules" forbidding it.

I would have thought you'd have liked to beat the Suns full strength rather than have an asterix next to your le.

We DID beat the Suns full-strength; weren't you watching? We were missing Robert Horry for TWO games, but we still won.

Btw, what's an "asterix?"

There is no asterisk. There never has been. That's something some "journalist" cleverly came up with years ago and is still applied to Spurs championships to help ease the bitterness. It doesn't hold water, of course, but if it makes people fell better...

I thought Phil Jackson said it.

[BlackFlagg]

My consolation prize: If (probably when) the Spurs beat the Cavs, you will all think to this thread, and to me, and it will still bother you.

humankind doesn't have instinct. i learned that in college so go educate yourself.

what he did was his own doing and not any instinctual reaction. he's just a chump, period.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

How come nobody wants to associate an asterix next to the Suns series win over the Lakers? Kwame Brown and Luke Walton were both playing with bum ankles so essentially the Lakers played the series without two of the starters. How come nobody talks about that?

By the way, that's sarcasm for the Texas folk. My point being, the Suns claiming an asterix for their loss to the Spurs after getting hammered at full strength in game 6 makes about as much sense as what I just said.

Stop whining and play defense and hire a coach with a clue, not a whiny that can't spell defense.

[FreeMad Dan]

The Suns are whiny es because they see their daddy D'Antoni crying on the sidelines to the refs everygame on every call. How the F*** did he not get hit with a T in that series. That was some bull .

[FromWayDowntown]

not a whiny that can't spell defense.

or asterisk, apparently.

[SpursWoman]

I thought Phil Jackson said it.

Phil Jackson said it before that season even started ... it wasn't a direct slight to the Spurs. And since Phil Jackson doesn't control the record books or anything in the league FO for that matter, it was just his opinion. BFD.

Funny how all of the sheep took it and ran.

[ancestron]

lol @ him saying he was gonna be a peace maker........ bull , no one runs out on the court to be a peace maker, there was enough ppl already on the court to do that, he was gonna go in stephen jackson style and he knows it

and i guess he forgets he has a ass dirty teammate in raja bell

amare is a , i used to like him, but i can't stand when players run to the media and whine.........

i used to like him too before he pulled this . I lost a lot of respect for Amare Stoudemire this year. And the funny thing is, I didn't lose any for Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen, Ginobili, or any of the other Spurs he calls dirty. They didn't even justify Amare's accusation with a response, they just kept doing what they do and when they were asked by the media about the hard fouls and such they were just like, "yeah, i fouled him"

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I watched the show. They were playing jokes on him, showing the part of the interview he said he was checking in and then he blushed because he realized they were just showing him he is actually a liar. WHAT A ING DUMB ASS.

I joined this forum nearly two years ago (8/2005). There are many Phoenix fans that have posted over twice as many times IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. That pretty much says it all.
