other than the fact that he got Manu's rebounds and the amount of points he scored in the fourth wrong, its a decent article
from Spurs' star power comes through in clutch

The Spurs commenced the game by playing spiritless ball, as though the suspensions of Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw had somehow depressed them. As though they'd be damned if they won and double-damned if they lost Game 5.
Meanwhile, the Suns were absolutely inspired.
As were the refs. The unofficial count had Phoenix getting the benefit of six highly dubious calls, while San Antonio was the beneficiary of only one. And how to explain what transpired with 11 ticks left in the game: Duncan was handed the ball and was about to make an inbounds pass when Mike D'Antoni suddenly raced on the court screaming and gesticulating like a madman. The refs responded by tooting their whistles and declaring a do-over. Why wasn't D'Antoni tagged with a technical?
Anyway, the Spurs stuck to their guns and salvaged a ball game that could easily have been lost. And the otherwise exhausted Suns will be instantly energized in Game 6 with the return of their banished warriors.
The only fitting conclusion for this remarkable series would be triple-overtime in Game 7.

YEAH WTF WAS UP WITH THAT?
WHY WAS NOTHING CALLED?
The game was as fairly called as humanly possible, but yeah D'antoni went on the court thing left me scratching my head, and it was the second time he did that in the game, he was on the court a little earlier when Parker was dribbling upcourt late in the fourth, and the ref had to push him back, he was quite cloes to Parker.
The Spurs got another dubious call, the 3 pointer by Manu where Nash was jumping to the side of him and Manu locked his arm around Nash's shoulder and pulled him down on top of him to draw a foul and the refs bought it. Nash pointed it out right when he got up and replays showed it clearly. I'd call that pretty dubious.
It's irrelevant anyway, the Suns probably deserved a few more "dubious" calls after being robbed of Amare.
AJ was doing that all throughout the the GS-Mavs series too. Apparently Coach's can come onto the court without penalty now, even if the player with the ball almost runs into him (almost happened with AJ).
Well Spurs fans get ready for some crazy calls in game 6. The NBA wants this series to go to a game 7 and have both teams at full strength and may the best team win. Book it.
I wondered at the time what D'Antoni was thinking.
Still don't understand why he wasn't "T"d up for running onto the court during play.
And that "off the ball" foul that wasn't called that way was rather a dubious call also. That would have pretty much sealed the deal if it was called correctly.
How's the
I had never seen a coach come out that far. He was practically in the play.
took me a minute when see'ing it to realise what was going on. he was almost in front of the ref.
Was he trying to cause a diversion so he could have more time to set up for the inbounds play?
or just wasnt thinking?
You're right -- it was totally unfair of Manu to use his special magnetic powers to cause Nash to fly up into the air and land on him.
Amare shouldn't have robbed the Suns of his services. That was stupid.
Anyway, Game 6 should be epic.
ginobili shot, and nash hit his arm. i don't know what play you were watching.
The Spurs have no right to complain about anything. The basketball gods hate the Spurs, they are like Satan. That is why they win, Satan is strong, but eventually he will get what he deserves, death and pain.
He "landed on him" because Manu pulled him down onto him. But I don't expect Spurs fans to admit it, after all some of the idiots here actually wanted Amare and Diaw suspended.
I especially like that no contact flop by raja late in the 4th quarter.
that was the flop of the century imho.
did you watch the play? nash JUMPED INTO HIM.
I don't think anyone really wanted Amare and Diaw suspended. But: (1) we have no say in that; and (2) the rule was applied the same way it's always been applied.
Aren't Mavs fans the guys leading the "we need consistency" parade? Now we get consistency and at least one Mav fan is all bent out of shape about it.
PLEASE SHUT THE UP........AMARE MADE HIS BED....NOONE ELSE.....THE SUNS WERE NOT ROBBED.....PLEASE SHUT THE UP LOSER MAVERICK FAN. AMARE AND DIAW SHOULD HAVE KEPT THEIR ASSES ON THE BENCH LIKE THE OTHER 20 ODD PLAYERS ON THE BENCH AT THE TIME
Eh, I didn't check out the replay of that. I still think it's hard to argue or claim Nash was jumping to the side of Manu to contest a shot, he jumped right at him and basically his momentum was pretty much initiating contact. Whether Manu grabbed looked onto him to draw him closer in one huge motion after attempting a fading three...
Heh, you can pull the homer card all you like, but you're embarrassing yourself, quite honestly.
D'antoni's antics were pretty annoying. But if they called the technical on him, other sides would be pissed at the zebras just the same. Anyway, Pop was treading close on a technical, at some point in the game. There were a lot of no-calls in this game on both sides so whatever.
Suns fans, you might as well label the Spurs as cheap and dirty for hiring David Blaine and giving Manu magnetic gadgets.
Nash was forcefully drawn to Manu for the contact.
rofl. nash ran into ginobili on that attempt. maybe ginobili grabbed nash as he was falling back after getting run over, but that's irrelevant. too much contact on a shooter to let it go.
anyways, wtf was up with d'antoni running onto the court after the spurs inbounded the ball? ing suns, bunch of hosers.
Hey Mavs fan,
Baron Davis just hit another 3 on you !! HA HA HA HAAHHAHA
