Bill Simmons Finally Weighs In

because, even had they won game 3, they would still have needed to win game 6 in order to keep it from going 7. and, as pointed out, for all the crying about game 3, the fact that they lost game 6 with a full roster makes it harder to believe that game 3 should be held to some different standard considering the spurs beat the suns 3 other times.

I would love the Suns chances in a game seven at home.

If the league didn't suspend Amare and Boris, you could argue Suns would have won it in five.

not that i'm defending Sun fan, but even if they lost game 6 and it went to 7, are you assuming the Spurs would have won that game?

i, for one, wouldn't immediately assume that the Spurs will automatically win a game 7 in the WCSF...

He's definately got a point Spurs fans.

but that is exactly why folks bring up game 6. there were no excuses, no broken noses, kneed groins, crooked refs (that we know of), or banned participants (aside for horry). would the suns have won game 5? based on game 4, maybe, based on game 1,3 and 6, maybe not. everyone would have loved to have seen it go seven, but the suns whiffed in game 6.

what i said to the other guy. had the pattern been kept during that series, then the spurs had a good shot (win 1, loss 2, win 3, loss 4, win 5, loss 6, win 7).

I could care less whether or not you feel compelled to bond with Suns fans and jock all over this story when bigger officiating screw-ups tarnished the Mavs-Spurs 2006 series and the Mavs-Heat Finals last season.

The Suns had nothing, before the Donaghy story. Nothing.... So somehow now they feel en led to claim that their Suns were robbed, because of one game??? If they hadn't been crying like chicken little before this story surfaced I would probably have given their arguements a little more merit. The fact of the matter, however is that they've been complaining the whole time. That's why now their sudden screams of 'WOLF!!!!" don't carry much weight....

[Phenomanul]

i just didn't understand what the you meant by it striking the core of integrity itself or whatever the you said. i have a sneaky su ion that you really don't know what the that means either.

I know what I said... and I meant it.

[Phenomanul]

Game 3 AND Game 5 can.

Spurs were the lesser team. I think the recent news just proves what everyone already knew.

So tell us again how Tim Donaghy influenced the outcome of Game 5????

NBA Champions don't win EVERY SINGLE GAME!

The Spurs lost games two and four (with a full roster), therefore, by your logic they "whiffed"?

There's no getting around the fact that this series was completely tainted.

End of story.

Didn't the Suns have a 19 point lead in the 2nd half of Game 5? They should have won that game even without STAT and Diaw... Don't excuse them for that choke job.

AHAHAHAHAAHAHHA

Spurs won in 6 and you think Suns would have won in 5 had Amare and Boris not been suspended?

ROFL

The Series was tied at 2-2 when Diaw and Stoudemire were suspended, meaning your team would had to win in at least 6 games you ing idiot.

[Leetonidas]

Let's not forget that the Spurs beat the Suns in Game 6 missing their first big off the bench too.

[O-Factor]

i bet we can find calls against the spurs that were equally as dubious to show that things offset each other.

Like Kurt Thomas holding Duncan on just about every offensive possesion the Spurs have, that TNT clearly showed. Thats a FOUL every time for any suns fan who doesn't know that. Did Tim get those calls? Hardly.

Hey DUMBASS,

This thread is about how the Suns were robbed in game 3.

So, like i said, if the league didn't suspend Amare and Boris, that would be four wins (games 2,3,4 and 5) for the Suns.

The irony.

[Leetonidas]

I'm going to laugh my nutsack off if Tim Donaghy comes at and says the Spurs-Suns series wasn't one he fixed.

Bowen did it!

You're ing pathetic.

[Shred]

I was asking Shred and monosylab1k... who feel compelled to convice me that Donaghy was the reason the Suns lost their series against the Spurs.

When the did I ever say that?

[da_suns_fan__]

You're ing pathetic.

Uh okay.

But my team is the best in the world. These recent events prove it.

In 9 games the Spurs/suns played last season the suns only won 3. They went 3 of 9 against the Spurs. Oh, AND we won the le.

[Shred]

Crooked ref = tainted series. 'Nuff said.

[Leetonidas]

Enjoy your countless posts of ing and whining, Sun Fan, because it's not going to change the fact that the Spurs have 4 rings and the Suns have, and will continue to have, none.

[Mister Sinister]

Uh okay.

What's it like? Having your head as far up your ass as it seems to be?
