Spurs @ Suns Game 4 - Game Blog

[Budkin]

There is nothing wrong with the Suns leaving in their starters. The Spurs did the same thing last game. You want to make sure the Spurs don't get back in it. I would want Pop to do the same thing.

It's not the same... we were only up 16 or so at the beginning of the 4th.

TP went to the locker room early? Did he get hurt? Anybody know?

Prolly... he got smashed in the face at least 3 times on drives.

Dumb thread. And no, the refs don't carry any blame. This was a no show by the team and coaching staff. That's it.

Honestly I don't care. That's not something I'm going to complain about. The Spurs deserve all the humiliation, the shame, the blame in the world for how they played this game.

They weren't supposed to play like this today, either.

I know. And I'm disappointed because they had a great chance to close it out and get some rest. But I understand that they make mistakes, too, and a game like this isn't unheard of. I just think it's not worth it to be so worked up. There's nothing we can do but wait till the Spurs goes ape on the Suns on Game 5.

Refs let Giricek take not 3, not 4, but 5 steps on his way to the hoop. Classic.

Oh, and all the people talking about the Red Sox need to ing pull their heads out... Look at how ing rare that is in the history of pro sports. A team as good as the Spurs is not going to lose 4 straight after going up 3-0... just ain't happening.

Blowing a lead in Baseball is night and day compared to B-Ball. Your best pitcher can have one bad start and never get another chance. Offense in Baseball come and goes all the time. So much of what goes on in Basketball is about focus and intensity. In baseball there are times you can be as focused as a ninja and still won't be able to hit the damn ball.

good job Spurs, give the Suns confidence they can get back in this

[easjer]

The refs sucked, but they are not to blame.

The poor defense, the bad shot selection, the lack of aggression or pressure, the bad passes and stupid turnovers and inability of the Spurs to fix the problems were to blame for this game.

maybe he is just disgusted of their play like us. i did my version of heading to the locker room, its called changing the channel

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How ing dumb are you? Suns can't afford to blow this game, in case you forgot they are down 3-0

How ing dumb are you? Vaughn, Barry, Bowen, Stoudemire, and Thomas are going to erase a 28 point lead in 12 minutes against the starting five for Phenix?

I used to ignore your ass, but damn today makes me realize why everyone thinks you are such a stupid .

Just do us all a favor and jump already...

Right. Also, how often does a team sweep occur in the playoffs? The Spurs will take their lumps today and move on (it helps to have a short memory). The Suns got it going today. Can they do this three more times in a row? Nope.

Why would they be humiliated they are up 3-1?? Boston just lost to the damn Hawks for god's sake. Pistons are getting beat by the 76ers. Suns are a very good team it happens they will bounce back next game.

you are exaggerating quite a bit

U hope.........

[SpurOutofTownFan]

i honestly didnt' see anything the suns can do to beat the spurs 4 games.. i saw a lot of no-effort from the spurs part though

I'm not saying PHX will win this series, but you should never disrespect them enough to think they won't come into Game 5 with this same type of energy.

agreed.


However, I think SA will take care of business at home.

U hope.........

The gregarious way the referees have called this game has an effect on everything in the game. Spurs in 5.

I think you mean "egregious". "Gregarious" means talkative or sociable.

Anyway, refs swing games all the time. There's no way to stop it short of instant replay on every call.

Yep, exactly, your final win if you get it will be a battle, maybe a 1-2 pt win....you had better find the energy and the D...

True, but similarly you can't expect the Spurs to roll into game 5 with the same lack of interest and intensity that they showed today.
