Suns fans quit the moaning

[ratm1221]

3! Hopefully the 4th one is on its way!

I hope so. My wife is a Spurs fan. I like the Spurs. I just don't like some of the fans that bash my team.

[dreamcastrocks]

I knew there was going to be a thread about this.

The refs sucked. They let this game get way too physical.

Duncan was getting mugged all day long.

However, there were several calls at the end of each halves, (Duncan's throwdown of Amare in the 1st, Tony's pushoff of Barbosa in the second) that changed the complexion of the game. The refs should be a background, and they werent.

I never thought the day that I would want to see Violet Palmer officiate a game.....

However, eventhough the score was in the Suns favor, I felt that the Spurs had control of the game.

I don't want to say that the refs cost the Suns Game 1, but the officiating has to be better for both teams this series.

Oh well I won't bash anymore. The Mavs aren't even in the playoffs anymore. The only way I would is if Spurs were playing Mavs, or if Mav fans starting bashing Spurs. But I don't see that happening right now because Mav fans shouldn't talk right now.

[CubanMustGo]

Oh yeah, thats right. I guess I just forgot since it's hardly ever mentioned around here. Do the Spurs have any Championship rings?

I dunno. Have the Mavs got their "67 regular season wins" rings yet?

Has Dirk got his "first MVP to be sitting at home in the second round" trophy yet?

I don't think Dirk is the first to have that happen.

i would never pretend to know what a mav fan thinks. and oh this is the internet so i bet you i watch more basketball games than you do! actually i'm an nba player. i play for the memphis grizzlies so i have a lot of free time. i'm trying to get traded to the spurs, so you'll probably figure out who i am during the offseason

Right. And I'm a Dallas Cowboy.

[Rummpd]

Perhaps, Kori asks a valid question on whether or not the Suns fans are moaning? I listened to some late night Fox Sports news and they were calling from all over on that complaining and in my view, are just following the lead of their over-sensitive coach.

[Don Quixote]

Man, it sucks to be you right now. So what are you going to do about Romo? I say give the guy another chance, he's young.

Fill in the blank buck-o...they're is still room for you to root for the Spurs.

The problem is that refs will always blow a whistle when someone falls down. That is my biggest gripe with the officiating. Just once I would love to see someone take a dive and the refs swallow their whistles and say nuh-uh!

I give you the Duncan/Amare call, but I really don't think there is that much else to about as a Suns fan.

[ratm1221]

Why are you still talking, take a hint from your leader DIRK and QUIT!!!! hahahhaha

Bandwagon Spurs fan? Or alternate account of someone that wants to anonymously make jackass comments?

I'd have to say that most Suns fall into the D'Antoni category or the Nash category. The Nash fans pick themselves back up after they've been hit and instead of blaming it on uncontrollable cir stances, look to the teams heart. D'Antoni fans grow lame ass mustaches and stomp their feet and throw temper tantrums like twelve year old girls.

I seriously think that I could coach the Suns. I mean how hard is it to say "Listen to Steve!" "Energy!" "More Energy!" "Do what Steve says!". Plus I'm pretty good at swearing. All I need to do is work on that mustache.

D'antoni's tirades on the sideline was downright embarassing.

That is some funny stuff right there

[Xylus]

The only things I've been moaning about since last night's loss are Steve Nash's extremely unfortunate headbutt (that's just bad luck), and D'Antoni's reluctance to play Kurt Thomas. I mean, what the , Mike? He clearly guards Duncan a lot better than Amare does, so play him!

I didn't really have a problem with the officiating last night. Except for the 3rd foul called on Amare, only because the foul took place so far away from the action. Refs make bad calls sometimes in the heat of the moment, but giving Amare a 3rd foul on something that didn't affect the play is odd. Doesn't matter, though...it should have forced D'Antoni to play Kurt Thomas more, but who does he put on Duncan? Shawn Marion.

Jesus Christ...this team is ed if D'Antoni doesn't wake up.

The problem is that refs will always blow a whistle when someone falls down. That is my biggest gripe with the officiating.

Kinda like that play when Amare was setting a pick and he and Bowen both went down.

Amare leaned into it and Bowen refused to go around, probably should've been a no call, but it seemed they blew the whistle and then decided the foul should be on Bowen.

The officiating was horrible....but even for both sides.

Like Xylus my major gripe about the game is Antoni's refusal to play KT. He was acquired two years specifically for this series.

That was the Suns worst mistake.To get Physical.
But to be honest,the suns asked for it,cause Amare was the 1st one to get physical.After that the Spurs pushed back.and the rest is History.

I agree with that one. That definitely should have been called a no call. Amare was still on his pick, so it shouldn't have been a foul on him. It wasn't like Bowen went completely through him either.

Definitely should have been a no call.

[LavaLamp]

A better question is, where are the Suns fans?

One of them right here. Posting here and there.

[Louie Vega]

Mavs were in the finals?

Yeah ,I can't believe it myself! And they managed to make a total mockery of themselves and the entire state of Texas while they were there!

[JMarkJohns]

A better question is, where are the Suns fans?

I am here. I believe, anyways... perhaps not. Perhaps this is just my ghost in the machine? Perhaps I'm here but you are not? Perhaps nothing's real, including this pain I feel, including the games you steal?

GD IT... I'm rambling...

just getting started

[BradLohaus]

That's a good point. Why the did Phx even go out and get Kurt Thomas if they're not going to play him much as a defender on the best low post scorer in the game?

I'll also point out that the Spurs are still last in playoff FT attempts per game of all 16 teams that were in. But I wouldn't trade spots with the team that leads this category.

[JMarkJohns]

May be old news, but 'Antoni is talking of starting KT in game two.

He can start and all, but starting the game ins't as important as playing 15-to-20 minutes in the second half.
