Nose vs Forehead Series...

[Borosai]

One thing I love about the Spurs...they win a huge game on the road, and walk off the court as if nothing happened. They are focused...hopefully Manu shows up next game.

Oh, and my sweep prediction is still intact!

[aaronstampler]

We quietly held Amare to 6 of 19 and Barbosa to 7 of 17. And outrebounded them by 14.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Watch it again dumb ass! Parker was the one leaning in... did Nash hit him with his nose?

No one is to blame. It's not something either were trying to do. That happens. It's disappointing that both got hurt, and that the nose never stopped bleeding, but no one deserves fault in the accident.

Well done Spurs. I'm going to hug my pillow.......

I feel sorry for Steve.

I can't believe we won this game.

ESPN: "You don't want the zebras deciding it but that's what they did."

Fak dat. How about that charge call on Parker?????????? How about the calls against Bowen that allowed Nash to run wild and keep Suns in the game?

Peter Vescey says that the Spurs are a bunch of floppers. Of course, since he's on the NBA network, the laugh's on him.

you piece of

nash was trying to reach in

whos fault is it

[dbreiden83080]

Guys could Tim Duncan possibly be any greater than he is?

[hitmanyr2k]

I wanted to see Nash back in there. After a great game it just seems cheap that he was out the last 2 minutes. Barbosa doesn't have the skill or intelligence to make the right decisions down the stretch...especially in a half court game.

Who gives a

You can't play defense with your head. Tp broke Nash's ankles and his head was in the way. Hence the foul.

Hope Nash is ready for game 2.

Tony was amazing tonight, and man, Tim came to play beautifully tonight... and Nash is without a doubt the MVP. I hope Nowitzki hands it off to him a halftime of whatever game it's awarded in.

[Obstructed_View]

Just because a guy gets bloodied doesn't mean he didn't commit a foul. The rules in this game favor the offensive player. Nash initiated the contact by reaching in.

I don't like to win with their MVP not playing, but we've had our own pb's with playoff injuries. Them's the breaks.

[TampaDude]

The Spurs played a mediocre game, and they still won by 5 on the road...they will dominate the rest of the games...Spurs will SWEEP!

[Borosai]

we won by a nose

[boutons_]

d'Antoni was ing way too much. Chicken-man should fire him tonight.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

vescey has been a huge advocater of the spurs this post season

I'd be surprised if he called the spurs floppers or tried to slam them

Ever since '99, when he picked the Knicks to beat 'em.

So reaching in automatically causes Tony to fall flat on his face? Oh, that's right, that is what they are trained to do... bunch of damn floppers! Even ESPN knows it.

[phyzik]

Nash/Parker headbut was inadvertent.... It was initiated by Nash trying to reach in for the ball but it wasnt on purpose.

[td4mvp21]

Nash didn't play for the last minute, I really don't think his absense had anything to do with the loss. Stoudemire choked on that last shot, even though the Spurs forced him into a tough one.

[Savannah]

CONGRATULATIONS to both teams! I'm so proud of the Spurs...it's a great win; but both teams came to play and it was a joy to watch.

Um, did you see the blood on Nash's face? Tony has to be the greatest faker of all time to open up a cut that size on a guy that didn't touch him!
