If not for Stevie getting his nose busted Suns would be up 2-0.truth hurts
All these Suns fans and the media will say if not for Stevie getting his nose busted Suns would be up 2-0. We need to play a great game 3 they have renewed confidence now since we laid an egg tonight.

Fantasy is an ugly place to reside in. See ya after after game 3 and it is 2-1 Spurs.
Spurs could've put the series away tonight. In Game 2. That's about the only major loss tonight.
Credit the Suns for planting this doubt. Nash owned us tonite. What can we do to counter?
Okay, so that was depressing as to watch. Simply a pathetic effort by most of our team. That was close to our worst performance this year, which I think was game 1 against the Nuggets. I put that game down to rust, and they proved that it was by playing solid-as-fark Spursball for the rest of the series.
So, tonight Duncan was excellent and the rest of the team non-existent. It wasn't 4-down or smallball that lost us the game - we had already lost it by the 2nd half.
We were tired.
We were slow.
We looked apathetic.
We honestly seemed like we'd rather be sinking beers in a bar somewhere.
In the first quarter I could tell we were going to lose this one and said so a number of times in the game blog. We were breaking down on simple plays, both offensive and defensive, we weren't hustling for loose balls or to make plays, and we were making terrible decisions like JV shooting on 3/5 possessions. We were out of sync from the start, and the only reason it wasn't an early blowout was that our first half D was okay, and they couldn't make a shot.
HOWEVER, I think this is just another "rust" game. They've been living in hotel rooms for 5 nights in a hostile town. They are tired, want to see their own beds and loved ones. These things contribute to flat as performances like tonight.
They got the split they wanted, felt tired tonight, and thought "what the , we'll beat them at home." I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
WE WILL NOT PLAY LIKE THIS IN GAME 3.
I know I wished I was...
1-1 going home. It's a good result, despite the performance.
Other than Alamo50 your the last person I thought would Dive off the wagon
tp needed to be more aggressive from the get go
Did you really explain this game with the number of nights they have spent in Phoenix hotel rooms? Solid.
maybe TP is afraid of getting hit on the head again---I thought he was shying away from driving in the first quarter.
Glad we got the split. I like our chances to win all our home games in this series.
The Spurs were off tonight...plain and simple...let's just hope it's a one-game fluke...the TEAM has to step up now...TD is the man, but he can't do it all by himself...
Well, if we do that, we win 4-2...I wanted the sweep, but I'll take the Spurs in 6.
The Spurs BETTER win Game 3, though!
Did you read the post? I haven't left the wagon in any sense. I explained why we sucked tonight (tiredness leading to apathy), and that we won't do it again in game 3...
I agree, once in a while we have these kind of games... hopefully we won't have another one during these playoffs.
It was both frustrating, and apathetic watching that game, but I have confidence that they'll bounce back.
Okay, you explain it better.
Why did they look slow and apathetic tonight? These people are only human, they have let downs, and after achieving the split in game 1 they just decided they'd done enough in Phoenix. That makes sense to me, in terms of human behaviour, although as a fan it annoys me.
if we played out hearts out tonght and lost by 20 I'd be dejected, but that was not anything resembling Spursball, same as game 1 against the Nuggets. We can write this one off, but they'd better come out firing on all cylinders for the next two games because we haven't seen Phoenix's best yet, and we can't beat them unless we PLAY HARD.
The Spurs flat out just did not play hard tonight, save Tim, Tony, and Bruce. Rob passed up wide open shots. Fin hit a few, but he passed up shots he should have taken too. I don't know what the Manu's doing right now. Tony played hard, but just didn't have it. I loved that Bruce was firing every time the offense got him a shot. Duncan was magnificent in carrying the Spurs for three quarters, but he understandably ran out of gas , having to do it alone.
Thanks BB, now I know that I'm not insane. In the game thread, no-one else seemed to notice...
There was just no hustle out there, no effort at all.
I counted 5 times in the first half where players WEREN'T EVEN RUNNING THE SAME PLAY!?!? They looked like a stoned high school team tonight.
They won't look like that Saturday. I think they'll come out mega-nasty on Saturday and maybe tan some Suns hide, because when they watch this game tape they will be EMBARRASSED.
Oh, and you are right - Tony and Bruce tried hard, maybe even Oberto, but none of them could get it going.
I don't remember seeing Big Shot bob the whole 4th period, Did He get hurt or something?
Five wins in a row, five great efforts. They're bound to throw a stinker, especially against a great team with its back against the wall. Rebound and win Game 3.
Surprised that Horry only saw 16 minutes tonight. With 3 days' off you'd think he would've seen closer to 25.
We need to get Elson one of those educational basketball tapes by Magic Johnson or the like.
OK "NOSE"tradamus.
