They said the same kind of thing about bowen when he came here.
Don't know what caused you to respond this way to his post.So youre not JEALOUS of all the attention the Suns get are you?
Spurs fans are mad at the wrong guys. You all knew this was coming the day Horry caused the suspensions. Your own San Antonio Express writers pointed out that you don't want to win "this way".
This is the consequence. The Spurs get zero respect and the Suns are loved by all.
No doubt the Suns will be favored to win again. Spurs better hope for another lucky break (no Joe Johnson, No Amare/Diaw).

As always, FromWayDowntown brings everything to the light for us to see clearly.
Your entire post was, as always, elegant and articulate.
These quotes I think strike the heart of the matter beautifully.
Thank you.
It's a joy to have you on this forum.
And...it's not just because I'm also a Spurs fan.
I find your posts wonderful to read even when I don't agree with you.
You inform and educate without ever being nasty about it.
For me it's a real breath of fresh air.
da_suns_fan vs. FWD matching wits is a microcosm of the Suns vs. the Spurs playing basketball.
You and your "JV team" Phoenix Suns are nowhere NEAR being even with the San Antonio Spurs, not even close! It's kind of like when your little brother is trying to fight you while your keeping him at bay with 1 outstretched arm! Then you let your arm drop and little brother falls to the ground crying out for mama, "Mama! Mama! Help me! Big brother keeps kicking my ass!"Is that why you follow me from thread to thread?
Youre still trying to "get even"?
That makes sense.
Next year's going to be fun.
Keep convincing yourself that the Suns are a JV team. I think you are pretty delusional. The Suns are a top three team and your team barely skated by this year against us so don't count the Suns out just yet. I think you are slightly overconfident right now. We lost James Jones, who did not produce for us and got Grant Hill who can actually shoot and pass the ball and draw fouls and we just signed Brian Skinner who will bang and rebound for us like Kurt Thomas minus the fifteen foot shot, so Amare won't have to guard Duncan. Hopefully, PJ Brown will sign and give us another big man. Skinner will guard Duncan and help keep Amare out of foul trouble, kind of like Oberto and Elson do for the Spurs to keep Duncan out of foul trouble if he tried to guard Amare one on one. Suns drafted two defensive minded rookies that hopefully will contribute and we have the rest of last years team intact. So, we are not a JV team like you think. Don't count out the Suns quite yet.
Next year's always fun, Xylus. Doesn't matter who your team is, as long as you like the game, next year is always worth the wait.
Actually, in 05 I seem to remember Tim guarding Amare quite a few times, which is why many considered him an MVP sort of player because he could score so easily on Tim ..
may have already been covered, but...

The Suns have their new big man.
Eight-year veteran Brian Skinner and the Suns agreed to terms Monday on a one-year veteran's minimum deal, half of which is guaranteed. If Skinner remains on the team when opening day rosters are set Oct. 29, his $1.1 million salary will be fully guaranteed.
Skinner, 31, was the best of the big man prospects the Suns considered because he can offer Phoenix rebounding and defense with enough speed to play at the Suns' pace. Initial plans would be to have a platoon backup center system with Skinner and returnee Sean Marks, who played three games for Phoenix last season. Skinner is accepting of the part-time role and had Phoenix atop his wish list because he wanted to play for a le contender after missing the playoffs last season, when he had 44 starts for Milwaukee.
In a battle of wits, da_suns_fan is always unarmed. Against FWD, it's the Spurs or Mavs versus the local girls' jayvee squad.
I don't think I've ever read a harsher insult of Phoenix Suns basketball than this statement.
I think you are just jealous of da_suns_fan ability to not win any argument and get all the attention.
Yeah, nice job losing all credibility... the most famous Game 5 in Western Conference Semifinal history and this genius screws it up, while displaying arrogance only the president of Iran could muster.
You were wrong FWD; the Suns were favored to win it all in 2006 according to SI. How foolish you must feel to be a fan of a team that has actually won several championships, and not a fan of the team that was favored to win at least one by some guy at SI. You, me, and all Spurs fan should hang our heads in shame.
Hey, wow, that's the same magazine that picked the New Orleans Saints a month ago....
As 2007-2008 SuperBowl Champions.
Yeah. Brilliant reference.

Chad Ford, Scoop Jackson, Ric Bucher, Tim Legler and David Thorpe all picked the Suns as well.
My point was that the Suns HAVE been favored to win the championship and they will continue to be....and I just owned FROMWAYDOWNTOWN.
Do us all a favor. Go to a dictionary website, figure out what the term "prohibitive favorite" means, and then realize that 5 ESPN people (same number who picked the Suns) had the Spurs as their pick. The only difference between the groups of five is that the ones that picked the Spurs were actually right.
Besides I wouldn't really fly the flag of Scoop Jackson too proudly. Looking through those predictions he went 2/9 including picking the Rockets to win the SW division. You didn't own FWD. You exposed your third grade reading comprehension. Again.
To a Suns fans, the game was the most famous semifinals in history,
a game never to be forgotten.
To a Spurs fans, it was just another game on the road to winning a
championship. As a Spurs fan who is proud of his team for being 4X NBA
Champions, yes i might sound arrogant, but thats what winning does to
you.
"Prohibitive" was FWD's word, not mine dumbass.
And go ask Bill Simmons who the prohibitive favorite is
wow, you're actually arguing about whether (and to what degree) the suns were favored to win a championship they never won.
im enjoying the destruction of the suns organization as a whole
now mary wants a 60mill extention over 3 years, rashard lewis money....
Being favored to win by the media is what's important.
