    A. Suns for blowing a 9pt lead w/ 5+min left

    B. Timmeh for missing 2 FT's that would have sealed the game..

    C. Raja for missing ONE FT that would have likely won the game.

    D. The Suns D while guarding Orberto.

    raja bell can't play when he looses his cool, hence the silly foul in OT
    i'd say that was pretty costly.

    I'd say A. Suns probably had no idea that Oberto would go 11/11. Though, after he went about 8-8 in the first half, you'd think D'Antoni would tell them to guard him.

    Suns just collapsed under pressure in the final 5 minutes. They had the game...up by 9 and with all the momentum swinging their way. If they want to be considered a championship-caliber team, they need to learn how to keep leads and play some defense in the crunch time.

    Raja...he missed the game winning FT and he got some good ole heartburn to go with it.

    But TDs missed freethrows blew chunks out of my ass.

    Can't give it to Raja when he hit that amazing three that got them to OT.

    Hard to give it to Tim when the Spurs ended up winning the game . . . but DAMN!

    Have to go with D. Some of those were garbage points, but more than a few were just complete defensive brain farts. Next time the Spurs play the Suns, I want to play center.

    Not D. Oberto's a seasoned, highly skilled player. He knows how to move without the ball and the Spurs ballhandlers were good enough to find him and at the right time.

    Neither B nor C would have happened if A didn't happen first, so A's my choice.

    But this has been the problem thus far for the Suns. They've collapsed or lost composure in all of the games they've lost. Even the one win against the Clips never felt put away until the last minute of the game. It's like they're an all rookie team that doesn't know how to win suddenly.

    Yah. So we can expect these with regularity then.

    If the Suns has made even a token effort to defend Oberto, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    Well, truly it's B, but since B didn't cost us the game, I'll go with C.

    101-97 after Tims 3 pt play.
    Phx inbounds with 10 seconds.
    We have a foul to give.
    7 seconds left. Bell pump fakes then brings ball all the way back down in set position. GNob is right on him.
    Anyone wonder why GNob did not wrap him up with the foul to give?
    Window of op when he brought the ball down, I'm not talking about fouling him in the act of shooting. Wonder if GNob was gun shy after the Dallas fiasco?
    Would make Phx have to inbounds the ball again, chew a few more seconds off the clock.

    Biggest choker of game was the greatest offensive coach of all time having Duncan on the floor for the inbounds.
