    I don't get it -- how does barely squeaking out a win against a team at half strength somehow take away the asterisk? Maybe if the Spurs had won by 50, everyone could agree that Amare wouldn't have made the difference. But there is no room to doubt that the Suns would have won this game with a full team.

    Sorry guys, champions are made by winning the tough games that you shouldn't win -- not by squeaking out the games you can't lose.
    3 time champs here asshole. What about you?

    I think Amare being suspended actually helped the Suns. Had he played, the Spurs would have been at the FT line a lot more.

    Come on Dude...That 1st quarter was scary...I was beginning to wonder if Gregg Popovich was going to get a “T” for farting...The refs gave the Suns every call possible...

    i wonder if sun fan would've been arguing for an asterisk back in '92 when his team defeated a spurs team without david robinson in the 1st round. of course, that would've required the suns to have actually won a championship. rofl.

    my bad, sun fan probably hadn't been birthed by then.

    Not the wisest take in the world. Champions overcome ADVERSITY to pull out critical wins. Sometimes champions create that adversity by only putting up 13 points in the first quarter.

    ANY professional bunch of athletes should more times than less be "squeaking out the games you can't lose."

    And by your reasoning, not only do the Spurs previous championship runs not matter, but Shaq and Kobe need to give back their hardware because "champions are made by winning the tough games that you shouldn't win." In each of the recent Spurs and Lakers championship runs, they were SUPPOSED to win most games and the championship during those playoffs.

    You're trying perhaps too hard to heal broken hearts and reaching for meaningless justifications of the outcome of a basketball game. Your team played admirably and emotionally yesterday They lost. Its done. We'll see what happens in Game 6. Meanwhile, the players still get paid.

    Rich, indeed.

    and another. funny how the suns have been the beneficiary of the spurs having their stars completely out in two different postseasons. and we have to hear their bellyaching about not having a supporting star for one game which was on their homecourt? em.

    You can't say the Suns would have won. The Spurs have a history of playing badly in games they should easily win. They're y, and they usually don't try very hard when the deck is stacked in their favor.

    They wouldn't have played so horribly in the first half in all likelihood if Amare and Boris hadn't been suspended.

    I absolutely concur. If the Spurs build a big lead early they will probably lose. They just aren't built to blitz and blow teams out.

    Its funny to see some Suns fans actually side with Laker fans about the Jacksonian Asterisk.

    So tell me Stargazer...who is putting this asterisk on this series? You? Mike D'Antoni? Robert Sarver?

    The only en y that decides such things is the NBA...they didn't apply one in 1999 and they won't here. Its all in your heads.

    The 99 season definitely doesn't deserve an asterisk. The Spurs steamrolled through those playoffs.

    Won NBA Finals (4-1) over New York Knickerbockers
    Won West Conf Finals (4-0) over Portland Trail Blazers
    Won West Conf Semis (4-0) over Los Angeles Lakers
    Won West Conf 1st Rd (3-1) over Minnesota Timberwolves

    Neither will the 2007 season, IF we win.

    I love how Suns fans are already throwing in the towel, basically saying the Suns have no chance to win Game 6 and 7.

    Losers.

    I agree. People seem to forget that even though the season was shortened, the playoffs were the same length they always were.

    My question is this...if the Spurs only won because of the shortened season....what does that say about the teams who couldn't win despite the shortened season.

    Again with the asterisks thing. Cmon, bro, as Suns fans what good does it do us to talk about asterisks. I'll take 10 asterisks, thank you.
    Careful sir! If you come with logic to this board, they'll blame you for being a Spurs fan in disguise.

    Just as there is no doubt Suns would have won game 1 if Nash had been allowed to play with a bleeding gash?

    No one knows or will ever know how the game may have played out with Amare, Diaw, and Horry playing.
