Man, this is like game 5 against Dallas in 2003. We won two at Dallas to put ourselves in control and gave the game away that year too. Come on Spurs!! Sack up and put it away Wednesday!!
I couldn't believe Tim threw up an airball, dude was short all night, it's like he couldn't learn from his mistakes

Hey idiot, how long has it been since the Suns beat a healthy Spurs team in AZ?
STFU already.
Exactly. It's one thing to have bogus calls, but they should be evenly bogus. Parker got nothing from the refs, Nash could do-si-do to the basket and not get called for traveling.
Only good thing to come out of this is there is no way in the suns will win 4 in a row.
The good news is, Duncan will come back in Game 5 to demolish the Suns. This is his pattern after he plays like in a game.
Pop's comments: Transition Defense is why we lost the game. They had almost 30 points in transtion.
Refs were all "rookies" right? Thats what i heard
Com on! WHo puts inexperienced refs in a possible sweep game at the WCF???
(are the refs assigned by somebody or are randomly assigned :p?)
if theyre assigned, somethings wrong
damn, 30 points is a lot, they will definately improve on that in game 5
Remeber this anybody :sad
The Alamo was another classic defeat, but at least it wasn't this humiliating.
Before a national television audience - with the depleted and demoralized Dallas Mavericks on the ground, without their star player and down 3-1 in the NBA Western Conference finals - the Spurs blew it Tuesday night.
"I have no idea what just happened," a dazed Raymond Longoria said as he left the SBC Center with two minutes left. "We were too confident, I guess."
Behind Michael Finley's 31 points, and eight clutch rebounds and 11 timely points from former San Antonio prep star Eduardo Najera, the Mavs shocked the heavily favored Spurs 103-91.
It was bitter loss for San Antonio.
As in a half-dozen previous playoff games this season, the Spurs blew a big lead. This time, it was 19 points, but they couldn't crawl out of the hole.
Dallas tied the game 83-83 with 8: 38 left and took the lead at 85-84 on Raef LaFrentz's dunk 56 seconds later.
The Spurs mustered seven points the rest of the way as the Mavs poured it on, turning the game into a laugher.
The Spurs still hold a 3-2 lead in the series and can close it out in Game 6 Thursday in Dallas. It's possible that Mavs star Dirk Nowitzki, who missed Tuesday's game with a knee injury, will play.
Disbelieving fans spilled out into the South Texas night looking for answers, like a battalion of zombies in search of teenage victims.
"We missed too many outside shots," a pained Donnell Williams said. "We had things going. We could've won this game and used the rest."
Instead of lining up for NBA Finals tickets today, Spurs fans will be thinking, "What if?"
"If we'd won," Adam Medina said, "we could've nailed the coffin shut."
