In all seriousness, Suns you have my respect now.

[Sec24Row7]

You should have had respect for them 3 years ago..

[FromWayDowntown]

I agree that the Suns were a gritty bunch tonight and I think they ultimately ran out of gas. They deserve big time props for their effort. As a Spurs fan, I don't think that they deserved to win tonight. I think, in some ways, that it's shameful that the Suns' effort wasn't rewarded. At the same time, I think the Spurs played like garbage for 3 quarters and then found a way to grind out a victory against an undermanned team in the 4th.

Ultimately, the Spurs got the win and given the way Game 4 ended, I'll take that victory.

stfu you sniveling crybaby, you gave up on your team in the first half with that bawling thread you started. talk about no faith in your team, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for not manning up and having faith in your team against a depleted suns team. how embarrassing. yeah, i feel pretty damn good, the spurs have not looked themselves at all this series, it's a sign of good things to come in the future knowing that they are finally on the decline

I'd feel like after making NBA history in the way no one wants to make NBA history. Therapy might be a good option for you.

[Marcus Bryant]

On to Game 6.

[Strike]

that , they didn't choose anything. the spurs played like ground tonight, now go *celebrate* that much *deserved* win because your golly gee team is done, they aren't going to do the next two games

Like your team did, ?

You are right I had no faith. I will be the first to admit when the Spurs look like I am going to get pissed and go nuts. Fact is I dont care what I look like as long as the Spurs win.

But it is better to cry about a game involving your team than to cry about a game where you are trying to coatail success for your choking team i.e. what you are doing right now.

The Suns

[efrem1]

I'll make few posts tonight because of the cir stances. The Spurs get the win, but nearly did the sans Yao-Ben Wallace special and lose to an undermanned team. Nice job Suns, but you came up a bit short. I can't wish for a game 7, so I hope you will have a great fishing season

exactly like my team , i've already stated several times that my team ed up and played like , next

[TampaDude]

Same here...the Suns were really tough tonight...the Spurs didn't pull it out until the very end.

[1SUNSFAN]

I can't say I respect the Suns because I really can't stand most of them, but they definitely played hard...at least they don't quit, and that's good. But you know what they are probably thinking...if only.

Yeah, if the tables were turned... the Spurs probably would have taken a cheap shot to try to injure a player at the end. Oh wait, that is what they did!

Spurs SUCK ASS! Barely beat the Suns scrubs! Suns in 7!

[UV Ray]

The Suns

Whoever told you to be yourself gave you bad advice.

[Marcus Bryant]

Running over a shooter in the act is dangerous stuff. Thank God dirty Nash didn't injure Ginobili.

[ATXSPUR]

Yeah, if the tables were turned... the Spurs probably would have taken a cheap shot to try to injure a player at the end. Oh wait, that is what they did!

Spurs SUCK ASS! Barely beat the Suns scrubs! Suns in 7!

steve nash is a scrub????

[mikekim]

They've always had my respect I think (at least in the Steve Nash era), but a lot more after after Game 4. Not as individual people necessarily, but as a basketball team, yeah, I respect them a great deal. I'm sure the Spurs respect them. You tend to lose playoff series when you don't respect your opponents.

[ducks]

Whoever told you to be yourself gave you bad advice.

yeah because then I would get hiv

[Obstructed_View]

Nice to see Marion have a breakout game. The Suns played a good game with a great job of jumping on the Spurs early when they came out flat. It looked like a replay of last year when the Spurs would allow a good opponent to jump out to a huge lead and then be unable to catch them. Awesome game. Great second half. You don't need to score 220 points to have a great basketball game.

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs SUCK ASS! Barely beat the Suns scrubs! Suns in 7!

at Suns fan calling the majority of last year's team scrubs.

[Amarelooms]

The Suns don;t need or want your respect losers lol. We are all nobodies on here

How are the "My Little Ponys" doing in the second round?

[judaspriestess]

wow, this was a decent discussion until this stupid ing post came along.

[myhc]

The Suns have my utmost respect and admiration, especially the real MVP, Steve Nash. I'm just amazed every time I watch that guy. We were s shocked the first half thanks to that crowd. You played your guts out and almost pulled it off at the end. I'm expecting another nail biting game 6 and honestly, would not be at all surprised if this goes back to Phoenix.

[Spurs Brazil]

F*** the Suns and their fans and also Nash

[SAGambler]

Suns played a gritty game. Props to them all. I really didn't think it would be that close, but then I really didn't look for the Spurs to play such a ty offensive first half. Lowest points in a quarter and lowest points in a half. Now either there is some D being played in Phoenix or the Spurs need to go back to shooting school.

I think we can expect a barn burner of a game come Friday. Another down to the wire finish, and hopefully the Spurs can close it out. I really don't want to see a game 7 at Suns house.

All around great game, and I was pleasantly surprised how well the officiating went, considering what I was expecting.

[ambchang]

Big props to Nash and Thomas, can't say the same to everyone else.
What this game brings is that the Suns know that the Spurs offense often stagnate if you leave them for open shots. When the 3pters go in, the Spurs are unstoppable, but the problem is they sometimes go through cold stretches where the Spurs can't hit anything.
The Suns also did their part on the perimeter, they are quick and long enough to pack then lane, and pop to disturb the shooter, causing many of the Spurs misses.
This game also taught the Suns how to double Duncan, and the Spurs better learn from this game by having Ginobili, Finley and Parker cut to the basket and Duncan moving a little higher in the post when Duncan is doubled.
All in all, we haven't seen anything we did not expect in this game, the Suns were MUCH better defensively when Amare was out in Games 1 -4, but much worse offensively, this game just shows how it's like for 48 minutes straight.
