I feel.....Sorry for them

[Catharsis]

Can you guys get over the chicken dance? He apologized and his motivation was genuine. The Suns wanted to face the Spurs, not the Spurs minus their two all stars. Take it as a compliment. You want to prove yourself and a victory meant the Suns could beat the Spurs without their two best player--which is what it became.

But let's face it, it wouldn't have beem beneath Popovich to intentially sit Duncan and/or Manu if he thought it would benefit his team in the playoffs--and it did mess with the Suns' heads. But seriously, if you were facing the Sonics right now and Parker and Manu were getting uncontested dunks and layups like they did this series, one or both of them may be out for the rest of the playoffs ala a flagrant foul. We receive flagrants, not give them.

[Catharsis]

Um... Pistons > Suns as well.

So it's Spurs and Pistons who would need to drop off the face of the earth.

Suns split the season with the Pistons and the game they lost was with Nash out.

[Ishta]

Fools gold? The ONLY team to solve the Suns has been the Spurs. If the Spurs fell off the face of the earth, we'd all feel comfortable with the Suns representing the west and beating the east this year. This series is the real NBA Finals.

They won 62 games this year. Don't dismiss that kind of a season when your team is clearly better and matches perfectly with them. If they were in the east and met the Spurs in the Finals would you still call them fools gold?

Ouch....someones not to happy right now...Me, on the other hand am very happy Tim played like the MVP he is, and couldn't, and wouldn't be denied!
Perfect, let me repeat this, perfect from the line.I think the last time that happened he went 17 for 17. What a way to demoralize the oppsition..Is this the time to feel bad? NO....................This is the time to show no mercy, and turn the killer instinct on maximum and go for the sweep on MEMORIAL DAY.

ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL.

[Catharsis]

Detroit would blow the Suns out just as easily as the Spurs have.


Phoenix is a one trick pony. They can run and score. Take that away and they are pretty clueless.

70 wins this season (same as the Spurs) is hard to validate as a one trick poney.

One trick poney.

One hit wonder.

It's all the same.

It's was the Suns are.

If all you can do is score.

YOU'RE A ONE TRICK ACT.

I'm actually impressed that Stoudemire scored more points while going to the line only six times.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Well, when you dunk more than anyone in the league, scoring is not too hard.

[Ishta]

I'm actually impressed that Stoudemire scored more points while going to the line only six times.

That's actually a great point..However it takes a TOTAL TEAM effort to win games not just one player.

[Spurgal]

You have Issues!

Go to sleep, please...

[SequSpur]

I feel sorry for any Spurs fan that feels sorry for another team.

That makes you a wuss.

Go Spurs.

[mavsfan1000]

Phoenix with a centerless team got exploited by Tim Duncan because Amare Stoudemire is not a good defender at this point. Marion is too small to guard Duncan so Phoenix is screwed.

Our star PF/C will be only 23 when yours turns 30. Manu and Parker can't carry the Spurs alone. Just like Nash can't carry the Suns. I hope Stoudemire spends the offseason studying Duncan and learning how he defends and how he creates for his teammates. He's just about polished as a scorer, now he needs to be the complete player--and when he does look out.

Everyone has their day--you win some, you lose some. For example, remember this:

62 games is not a fluke--it's a beginning for the youngest team in the NBA.

[Catharsis]

Actually, Shaq dunked more--in less games. But he sucks, right?

[Catharsis]

Duncan only scored 18 of his points from the field. Stoudemire scored 30 with Duncan guarding him much of the game. Say what you want, but Duncan either went easy on him defensively (highly doubtful) or Amare is a monster in the paint. I prefer to think the latter. And he's only 22. The kid's a beast who needs to learn how to defend. Don't disregard it.

1 TRICK... POSTER.

[Sense]

Yeah, if Phoenix only had Chris Webber, hed dominate that stiff Duncan.

Are you stooooopid?


notice I put the words in your vocabulary..



And btw people, I don't think Tim Duncan is as hurt as people claim....


obviously..


so no webber<Duncan..

please give me a break...did you see webber against detroit? it's practically the same against the spurs.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Shaq plays defense.

[Catharsis]

ONE TRICK... TEAM.

Classy

[Ishta]

Look...the game is over, and the Suns lost....I hope the Spurs go for the jugular on Monday and end this series. It'll stop the Suns bleeding, and our guys can get healthy for the NBA FINALS....

You thinking Im serious about that, and not paying attention to the forum lately just how stupid YOU are.

[Catharsis]

Shaq plays defense.

That's because Shaq can't be moved. Nobody can post-up against Shaq--they can't move him and he isn't committing a foul.

Amare will learn defense--he became ROY with only one full year of high school basketball to his resume.

[mavsfan1000]

I don't understand why Amare can't play defense. He's got the strength and athleticism to be a good defender.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Amare will learn defense--he became ROY with only one full year of high school basketball to his resume.

His comp was Yao. Nuff said.

He's a beast in the paint. But that crap will get you so far. Being a one trick is ok and survivable in the regular season but it's a whole different level in the playoffs.

Amare has been in the league 3 years now... if he ain't tried to play some defense by now, he ain't going to in the future.

[Catharsis]

Look...the game is over, and the Suns lost....I hope the Spurs go for the jugular on Monday and end this series. It'll stop the Suns bleeding, and our guys can get healthy for the NBA FINALS....

What, and I missed it?!?

And I hope the Suns become the first team in NBA history to come back being down 0-3.

Everybody will have time to get ready for the Finals. The NBA wants to milk it as long as possible. A sweep may be bad for the Spurs if the east goes a full seven. Rest is nice, but at this pace a week+ off can be even worse. I hate how long the NBA playoffs are...thank you TV contracts!
