Suns @ Spurs

The Suns will find a way to blow it, someone is bound to get injured or suspended.UssjTrunks

Suspended during the play-offs? Unless someone gets shanked you wont see that happening.

Did you just become a sports fan in the last 8 months? Do you not remember LAST year?

I'm saying you have to do something extremly bad for it to happen. Never said it doesn't happen.

that was last year buddy, i'm pretty sure it won't happen again

Did Duncan seriously just make a 3? W T F lolandyboiii

seariously... this game is great. They are matching up very well. Parkers first foulout all year in game 1 of the playoffs. wow.

that was one of the best playoffs game i've seen in awhileandyboiii

agreed and it was only game 1. when nash hit that 3 to tie it at 115 i jumped out of my seat. this is definitely going 7, but i have the suns winning it on the spurs homecourt.

I thoguht that was gonna be another OT. Cant beleive they let him drive with no opposition.

Is Dantoni the dumbest coach in NBA history? Seriously, they should've fouled Manu before he gave it to a wide open Duncan at the end of OT - basically this means the Suns would've won the game. Then Amare was making dumb decisions...

The Suns are not a Championship caliber team.

I was wondering wtf they were doing letting them basicly run an isolation for ginobli.

This is why the Spurs win Championships. They're so freaking mentally tough come playoff time.Dutch_Mix

So why can't they ever win consecutive championships?

you know i always thought that the reason the suns would never win a championship was cause of their style of play, no size, to perimeter oriented, and no defense. But none of that is the reason. I finally realized after the last 3 years why they won't win. Amare Stoudamire can NOT stay out of foul trouble. This guy picks up fouls like there's no tomorrow. Look at Duncan. In big games he never gets in foul trouble, and if he does he knows how to play with them. Half of Stoudamire's fouls are offensive at that. He is too good to not be reliable and he just isn't. Unless this changes they will never win a title, but they will be the Spurs. I wasn't impressed at all. It took the hack a shaq, Duncan making a 3, etc. for them to eek this one out at home. I think the suns got them this year but Amare has to learn how to control himself. He is letting his team down. Nobody in the league can guard him, unless he's not on the floorsixringz1

what will your next excuse be if the spurs lose this year? old age?

those are pretty lame excuses. In 2000 Duncan might have been their best player but one person doesnt win championships teams do. In 2004 that shot counted, but the Spurs were losing 3-2, they could've still won the series but they didn't. In 2006 they simply got outplayed by a team that wanted it more, where exactly was the bad ref call? If they don't win this year then there are no excuses. And this is coming from a Mavs fan whose team loses every year, not because of excuses but because they get outplayed in the playoffs, for example today against the hornets.

Bunch of actors on the Spurs bench.

Excuses. They always change a good amount of their lineup and it is hard to win championships when you do that. The players have to develop chemisty. And if you look at the D. Fish replay the shot did count. I remember it like it was yesterday. :) Not to mention that was in game 4 or 5. How does tieing up a series win it. If anything it just evened the playing field.

LMAO indeed. All Suns fans do is cry and whine. Who can forget how they cried for weeks last season:lol:

The Suns won't win the series. The Spurs are too good.

nice comeback. but all you did in that post was reiteriate the stereotype of spurs fans being a bunch of whiney babies. just take the losses like men and move on, instead of making up excuses about their past failures. you don't know how the future will play out. i seem to recall the 1980 lakers losing their best player Kareem Abdul Jabbar to injury, yet they won the championship. And in 2004 after Fisher made that shot, the series was 3-2 not 2-2, that was game 5.

by the way, Timmy loves it when his fans cry...

All i gotta say is what a way to start the playoffs, that was one of the most entertaining playoff games in ages.

Hope this series goes 7 games, first game was fantastic.

Yeah crazy game

I looked at the replay plenty of times. The clock started moving after Fisher turned his body.

Either way, are people actually trying to criticize the Spurs over NOT winning championships? They have more championships than any team in the NBA in the last 9 years. In fact, the entire league combined has 5. The Spurs have 4. Lol at people actually trying to say "its hard to win championships" about the Spurs.

Suns fans are already doing the same thing they did last year.

IT'S TEH REFZZ! OMG GINOBILI FLOPPAGE! ROBERT HORRY MORE LIKE ROBERT WHORRY!

well looks like the suns will take game 4, great game from them.

Hopefully they can win the next one and keep the series going.

I always prefer when playoff series go 6 or 7 games

No way, this is the "We are to proud to get sweep" win. The Spurs will finish them in game 5.

Why did the Suns' coach get ejected?

The Suns finally show up. Where was this intensity in the games 2 and 3, I can finally call this series a series now. This was the complete opposite of game 3, the Suns were making all the right plays and they finally changed their defensive set, while the Spurs came out flat and became a jump shooting team. That being said, I still think this win came to late for the suns. The Spurs as i recall are the defending champs and is a veteran team and certainly capable of ending the series right on their own floor. The only thing thats positive about the Suns situation right now is their momentum but i doubt it will carry through game 5.
