You left out the *.

[Spurminator]

So even if the Spurs have two astericks, doesnt that still gve them twice as many les as the Suns and Jazz combined?

Sheeyit, we've WON more Finals than they've PARTICIPATED in....

[Johnny RIngo]

Dance, monkey, dance!

I'll repeat it again for all you optimistic Suns fans that actually think you have a shot at the le:

Phoenix won't ever win a championship because:

1) Their coach sucks. D'Antoni might have been the hot in Italy but that Euro ball garbage doesn't cut it in the NBA. Mikey shares more similarities with Flip Saunders than he does with any championship calibre coach.

2)The worst MVP winner in the last few decades is the leader of their team.

3) Defense wins championships:

Average Rank: 5.4

Phoenix ranked 12th this year in EFG%. So in the last 30 years, only three teams have finished the year with a worse EFG% and won the le.

Twice it was the Bulls during their first 3-peat and the 00-01 Lakers who steamrolled through the Playoffs, losing only one game.

Spurs are ranked 2nd in EFG% this year while the Cavs are ranked 3rd. Interestingly enough both teams are in the Finals.

The Suns defense is more comparable to teams like the Nets and Raptors than to the likes of the Spurs, Pistons, Mavs, Cavs, Bulls, etc. Phoenix is quite fortunate to have received the Lakers in the first round(one of the worst defensive teams in the league). If they had played the Nuggets instead I'd give Denver a fair shot at knocking them out.

Once Dallas gets over their choking problem and Utah finally gets a reliable SG I can see them having a better shot at the championship next year than the Suns who will forever be a regular season team.

If youre schtick is just to say dance and call people monkey its truly one of the weaker attempts ive seen. its not even original. as has been stated before ' ty material is ty material but using other peoples ty materila and passing it on as your own is just pathetic.'

You suck at being a troll. Try a different approach.

Yes he did

Sometimes the monkey doesn't even realize he's the monkey.

Sheeyit, we've WON more Finals than they've PARTICIPATED in....

Remember the last time Suns were in the Finals? Most of the Phoenix fanbase doesn't as they weren't born yet but to all the Spurs fans that do:

They were a ty defensive team back then too. Jordan went off on them for 41 ppg setting an NBA Finals record. Geez...all these years and they still can't play D.

[GrandeDavid]

"How ya like me know" were the wise words of rap legend Kool Moe Dee. And that pretty much sums up about all I have to say to grieving Suns fan.

[Shred]

Yes he did

Only Game 4, the deciding game. My mistake--I was trying to divide his minutes by zero.

The asterisk compels you to always have the last word. NOW DANCE!

no doubt utah had our number back then

[Spurminator]

It's pretty remarkable. Since the Spurs have been in the league, they've won three times as many Championships as the Suns have participated in.

I mean, god, can you imagine the frustration? You haven't won a single ring in 38 years, the only team with a better record than you gets eliminated in the first round, and you fail to capitalize. Man, that's got to hurt.

Any plans for the 40th Anniversary next year? Get those Charles Barkley and Gar Heard highlights ready!

[GrandeDavid]

The Spurs are the biggest whiny es in the NBA, as it shows EACH and EVERY time they get a foul called on them.

The Suns made that mistake when Amare and Diaw left the bench, but for any of these morons to blame anyone but the Horry for starting things is just being foolish.

!

No parade for Suns fan, no parade for Suns fan, no parade for Suns fan!

[Spurminator]

The asterisk compels you to always have the last word. NOW DANCE!

The pain of 0-39 compells you to try to silence the truth.

Wait....3 divided by 2 is 3? No, hold on. 3 divided by 1 is 2. Maybe I should be dividing by zero? Anyway, the asterisk beckons....Cue response:

[Spurminator]

Keep trying, you'll figure the math out soon enough.

It helps to know what years your team made the Finals.
