Midway through the second half of last night's game at the U.S. Airways Center, the Suns' mascot, the Gorilla, fired rubber basketballs into the crowd. The gentlemen in the row behind us caught one of them. A few moments later, the ball somehow caromed off the side of the head of KSAT-TV sports reporter David Sears.
After a long staredown, he returned the ball to the gents.
A few moments later, however, the mood grew more contentious, with the men screaming down at the San Antonio media, and we just kept our heads down and kept watching the game. A reporter from the East Valley (Ariz.) Tribune, however, finally had enough. He took on the antagonists, exchanging loud threats and finally tracking down security with a complaint.
It was wild and woolly, the kind of atmosphere that crackles with animosity and tension. The Phoenix audience was painfully loud, booing incessantly every time the Spurs touched the ball. There were insulting signs and costumes, vitriolic chants and scuffles in the stands.
It was a ferocious atmosphere.
And it was an absolute blast.
When it was finally over, and the Spurs staged a superb rally and stole away the victory, the men behind me sat in their seats for a long time. They were hoarse from screaming and limp with exhaustion. They had bounced a basketball off David Sears, verbally raked Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen and the NBA hierarchy. They had been so robust that even their neighborhood media had sicced the cops on them.
"Well," one told me, "that was fun."
It was indeed.
Give the Suns crowd credit. From start to finish, goaded by the questionable suspensions of Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw and awash in dislike for Ginobili, Bowen and villain Robert Horry, the 19,000 on hand never let up, from pregame to postgame. It was a terrific scene that very nearly carried the Suns to a stunning upset.
The Spurs can only hope that its own audience will find similar passion tomorrow night.
Stevie wonder
Wonder why Steve Nash is so liked by Phoenix fans and media? A telling glimpse came during a sober postgame news conference.
A reporter's phone rang repeatedly before the man answered it.
Nash, in mid-sentence, stopped.
"I hope she's hot," he said.
Axis of evil
The folks at KTAR-AM 620 had a fun poll for listeners this morning. The question: Who is the most evil person in the world? The choices: Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen or Hannibal Lecter?
By 6 a.m., Horry had 60 percent of the vote, Bowen roughly 30 percent and Lecter 10 percent.
Makes sense, of course. Horry devoured Phoenix's hopes, apparently.
Not in eclipse
During the pregame video introduction last night, in between dramatic shots of the Suns players, the words, "The world is behind us," flashed on the digital scoreboard. It's become a familiar theme in these parts: The Spurs are nasty cheaters, fittingly dressed in black; the Suns are noble and lovable, unfairly persecuted.
Had Bono sung the National Anthem last night, a toll-free number seeking charitable contributions behind him, I wouldn't have blinked.
Free Amare?
Free us from this silliness.
Even the blogger over at Bright Side of the Sun, one of the team's fan blogs, wrote from the heart after last night's game.
"I'm proud of the way the Suns played this game," he said. "They could have just given in and they didn't. They played their hearts out and were a 3 point shot away from winning it. They got 5 more shots than the Spurs. They shot the exact same percentage - 40.3%. They only missed 1 free throw. They won the rebound game. They won the assist game. Unfortunately, they had 2 more turnovers and that was what killed them."
He added, "I wonder what David Stern is thinking right now. I know he was scheduled to come to Phoenix for this game but canceled because he was afraid for his life. And he should have been."
Afraid for his life? Gads.
The contributors at Taking It To The Rack kept it real.
"Write this down: The Phoenix Suns are done," Steve Weinman wrote. "Finito. Terminado. Kaput. Gone fishin'. Done.
"The prevailing wisdom may be that playing the Spurs as hard as they did last night without the services of Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw will only boost this team's confidence en route to victories in the games to come in this series. Sure, maybe that could be the case.
"But I'm not buying it."
Then, finally, there was Five Tool Tool, which had some fun with the whole situation.

I'm tired of this series. The Spurs need to end it.
Come out, execute for 48 minutes and I like their chances. Come out ready to play (unlike Game 2) and ready to stay aggressive the whole way through (unlike Game 4).
This is going to be the toughest challenge of the series to date.
No excuses. Get it.
Believe.
