with TP spacing the floor, this game isnt even close.

Don't get too ahead of yourself champ. Hubris is not an admirable quality.
TP spaces the floor with his erratic jumper?![]()
On his best day Parker can't hit outside shots as well as Vaughn or Barry.
Are you new to basketball? Do you know what "spacing the floor" even means?
If anything, the Suns would just pack it in more and dare Parker to shoot.
We'll take our chances with Tony's J.

I think you are just plain dense...
who is going to keep TP from driving to the hoop? who? just wondering...and if he gets to the basket (which judging by your teams complete lack of D he will, alot), and you guys 'pack it in' who is going to be on the perimeter to guard finley, barry, bowen, horry, bonner, udoka, etc etc etc....
are you starting to understand? or is it still muddled? i suspect that later.
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
Give it time guys. Suns fans are still working their way through it all.
The Spurs had the Suns where they wanted them all night. It just came down to missing shots and turning the ball over.
I'm not usually one to complain about referees, but it really did seem like the refs missed a bunch of calls the home team should have gotten. I guess the NBA has to make it as hard as possible for the "Dirty Spurs"
bull .
That explains why the Spurs were freaking out after every single call.
You want to know the best part?
Before the game started, the Suns network ran a video montage of the Spurs whining to Green Days "Basket Case":
And on cue, the Spurs passionately objected to every call the entire night.Do you have the time to listen to me wine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
Just like last year! And the year before that... and the year....
Too bad Barbose couldn't play like that last playoffs.
I wasn't talking about calls. I was talking about non-calls.
a video montage showing the Spurs arguing calls? That's classy. I guarantee the same exact video montage could be made for every other team in the league just as easily.
I suppose when you're used to the season ending with pictures of Nash, D'antoni, and Marion fishing, you'd have to look for other things to feel good about. "HaHa look at those damn dirty whining ass spurs haha they suck...they won the championship last year? Oh..who cares...Duncan is a whiner...Oh they won the Championship in 2005 too? Who cares. Ginobili flops! They won the le in 2003 too? Eh, who cares the Spurs are old!"
So please continue your current type of thinking, and encourage others to do the same. It seems to working out ok on this end.
hmmm did you look at Spurs 3 pt. shooting? They were something like 5 for 23! Normally Spurs shoot 40%+ so had they shot their season average, they would have had 15 more points!! Meaning Spurs would have won by a big huge margin. It would be one thing if the Spurs missed because Suns were playing tough defense but the Spurs were just missing easy open looks. I doubt Spurs are going to go 5-23 next time they play, or in the playoffs.....and I would have to believe that with TP, we would have had even more points in the paint, not to mention fouls and foul shooting attempts.
The reality is that aside from Duncan and Finley, we played pretty badly and were within one made basket from winning the game. THAT should worry the Suns more than anything.
Seconded.
Amazing how the "if Parker played, Suns would have lost" argument is thrown out there, yet Spurs fans don't acknowlege the "if Amare and Diaw played, we might have won Game 5" claims that Suns fans make.
Can't say I'm really surprised since whenever Duncan, Parker, or Manu is on the bench and the Spurs lose, I read about a hundred "if Timmy played" posts.
I guess when the Suns were dominating all of Game 5 at home last year, but the Spurs executed down the stretch, then it just came down to missing shots and turning the ball over.
Oh wait, everyone comes on here and is like: "yay Bruce for hitting clutch 3's"
Bell was 1 for 6 from 3... and he had a lot of wide open looks. Barbosa was 6 of 16 at one point. Nash had 0 first half points.
Should the Spurs be concerned that they gave up 100 points when the Suns had such a terrible shooting night?
Moreover, when are you going to stop with the "if we had Parker" comments? You didn't... just like the Suns didn't have Diaw and Amare in Game 5 last year.
On his best day Parker can't hit outside shots as well as Vaughn or Barry.

Yeah that worked wonders for the Suns in the playoffs last year when he busted for 30 and high 20s almost everytime out.
The guy shoots over 50% on the season and shoots jumpers alot of times.
Yeah, but he can't shoot.
The Suns trolls are so damn stupid.
yet Spurs fans don't acknowlege the "if Amare and Diaw played, we might have won Game 5" claims that Suns fans make.
Yeah Boris Diaw was clearly the reason the Suns lost game 5 last year.
Ya know Suns fan, you can keep complaining about game 5 last year, but that isn't what lost the series.
Game 1 lost you the series.
Now go back to your champagne popping.
I seem to recall the Suns going straight to Diaw in the post last night and allowing him to create in the half court... all of this came in the 4th quarter in a game the Suns won.
Once Frenchman is more valuable than another you say?
Well actually, yes. Whats your point?
I think they're at the top of the annoying troll list.
Never anything new, just the same regurgitated stuff for months now.
There were a Cavs troll or two that were pretty annoying, but the Suns trolls have to be number one on the bad trolls list.
Maybe we should do an annoying troll poll...![]()
My point is that you used that as an excuse and then claimed that the Spurs would win this game with Parker or if they hit shots, or if they didn't turn the ball over or if they got calls.
See: Game 5 when Suns lost threads and look for all the "Suns would have won if they had Diaw and Amare, or if they hit shots, or if D'Antoni didn't play the starters 40 minutes or if they got calls..."
All phrases I'm pretty sure the Spurs fans on here called ridiculous.
Game 1: 32 pts (W)
Game 2: 13 pts, 4 turnovers (L)
Game 3: 16 pts, 41 mins (W)
Game 4: 23 pts, 5 TO, 41 mins (L)
Game 5: 11 pts, 3 TO, 39 mins (W)
Game 6: 30 pts, 41 min (W)
Obviously, he scores in the 30s and high 20s every game against the Suns, especially playoff games (which all Spurs fans currently claim would have automatically given the Spurs a win last night).
Ron i dont mean to insinuate that if we have tony parker it is an auto win, but last night i think so...
Any given night, these two teams are capable of beating each other...that is very evident...i am saying, with TP on the floor, it makes a whole new ball game for the suns to try and manage.
I do think, however, that as the game was played last night, if TP was playing, that is a W for the spurs...the suns, as you have said, were off in a lot of spots last night, and i think TP's contributions would have put us over the top when it counted.
either way, good game from two good teams...
That's actually an optimistic point of view. Grant's history indicates that he will not even be playing come playoff time. What the is D'Antoni thinking relying so much on a vet who hasn't played close to half a season in recent memory? If and when Hill goes down for the season, do the Suns have enough time to readjust team strategy/chemistry?
Eh..cmon. Then when we say that Amare and Diaw in Game 5 would have won the game for us, you guys ignore it (Not all, but some fans)
Now all of a sudden it's reversed? Just accept the loss, we all know how meaningless this is as of now, it's December, and you guys aren't even close to your best yet.
