Who would have thought Nash would cost them this series. Outside of Game 1 he has been absolutely pitiful.
They fought like .
Get a new coach and they may still have another year or two of serious contention.

get a new center that plays half as much as he talks
That was a nail biter.... Nothing to be disapointed about. Your team fought it all the way, you just need a coach.
If I'm SAS I'm a little worried at how terrible Ginobli has been since he got injured. NOH is a much better all around team than PHX. And their superstar won't choke in the clutch like Nash.
That was about as ugly as you can play an elimination game and still win.
I'm glad we survived but the Spurs didn't look like the better team. They looked like the less horrible team. We can't depend on that many turnovers to get us the series later on.
Good job Spurs on gutting it out. And We'll see you next year Phoenix.
If they had a good coach they could beat the Spurs. For sure.
They found something with Diaw at the three.
Nash really, really struggled. I think this is damn near the end. His tires haven't completely fallen off, but it's not long before this happens.
On the bright side, Diaw has come alive. Maybe he's worth something after all?
On to the next round.
Suns lack the e to make it nice. Poor Nash couldn't get it done again. I utterly respect him, but a lot of this series loss is on him.
To Xylus and a few other reasonable Suns fans around here, respect, see you next year. Your team was unlucky to face us in round one as we own you mentally. I said all along that (barring injury) the winner of this series will make the Finals.
To just about every other Suns fan on the planet, eat punks.![]()
It was a tough matchup for the Suns, but they played their asses off. In fairness, they blew Games 1 and 2, arguably. But on the other side of the coin, the Spurs dominated the Suns late in those games. Championship teams do that. Great series and good luck next season to the Suns.
Props to the Suns. Good game.
Good hard fought series.
Amare has definitely earned some respect.
Great series, props to the Suns for the tough games. Though once again
Spurs > Suns
!!!
Dazed and Confused - You can bad mouth Nash all you want but everyone knows he would step up and put that dagger right in the heart of Laker nation if he had to. Congratulations on your first playoff series win since 2004.
Congrats to the Spurs for the series win. Sad sad as a Suns fan to watch the season come to an end in that manner, with 2 crucial turnovers by Nash, then Horry stealing the ball from him, and Diaw throwing one away. Nash just does not make those amazing passes like he did 2 and 3 years ago, and against a swarming team like the Spurs, it usually ends in disaster.
Do I think the Suns can still be a very compe ive team next year constructed like this, yes, but I just do not see how they will somehow improve with one more year on the 2 old stars, and no young talent to step in there. It's rough to come to this realization, but I truly believe the Suns window has closed, and will hopefully reopen in about 4 years.
DBacks are 19-8 anyway! We had to endure them being horrendous for a couple years to get to this point while the Suns held Pheonix up with some great play, now it may just be time to flip the roles. Not like the Cardinals are going to do their part.
Congrats Spurs, and good luck with the Hornets, I really believe the experience is going to win out in 6, maybe 7, and a Spurs-Lakers matchup could be amazing.
This is for the non-troll fans and , the players too. They showed class after the game and I am not going to encourage fellow Spurs fans to get y. We have a tough Hornets team next, and most importantly, the journey has just begun.
Anyway, I want to give an old fashionedto the respectful Suns fans who posted here and give credit to the players for their behavior after the game. What a series, it did NOT feel like a 5 game one.
ha ha ha ha yeah we're worried dude. You just worry about your team and how they matchup with the Jazz. And if by some fluke you make it past them you better be worried about a possible showdown with the SPurs. We just got done beating the Suns in 5. A much better team then Denver! YOu were supposed to beat a sorry Denver in a sweep. Man I hope we play the Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!11![]()
:respect: to the very few of you out there
Exactly why we needed to win so bad. Any extra rest will help. I am concerned about Manu's health. Hopefully the Spurs won't play until next Monday or Tuesday.
This series was way too much Tim for Phoenix.
Spurs play Saturday.
Couldn't happen to a nicer group.
