Come on now, let's be positive ...

Just think how demoralized the Spurs will be if they lose this game! What an opportunity!

Im not looking forward to going to game 6 because nobody would want to goto a game right after their team loses by 40 points AND they have to win the next two. Its a lost cause.

Frank is the most frustrating coach I have ever watched, and the Suns realistically should have been swept. Two lucky wins and two games where thy were clearly outplayed. (Make that 3 after tonight.)

You're kidding right? Game 1 was a fluke--a good fluke, but a fluke nonetheless. Game 4 could also be considered a fluke--since when would we need Jake freaking Voskuhl to win a game for us?? Small ball did NOT win those games for us. It took our PF to hit a 3 at the end of regulation in game 1 and our CENTER to hit the game winner in Game 4. Small ball? Shyeah.

Oh Really - was it just those two plays that kept us in those games? I didn't realize that Amare Bank was twelve pointer! Wait a sec - I didn't realize Jake's hook was a twelve pointer! Oh yes - wait we must have been playing Big Ball when we came back from those leads the Spurs had - yes Big Ball with Jake Suckalidis! bring Jake in so he can tooled on and have the ball passed around his back like Webber did - Just cause someone's on the bench and not playing doesn't mean he's good - that's Stoney Case syndrome - has anyone ever considered this - the Spurs are better than us and have more playoff experience and we have problems mtaching up with them - especially when Marbury isn't putting up 35 a night against them like he did during the regular season? Let me ask you this - how did we beat the Spurs in the regular season - it was with these same damn lineups except Steph was torching them and Joe Johnson showed up in a couple games - give me a break you guys - We've seen Jake play - ah screw it - everyone's pissed right now and so am I - just gotta hope Marbs has something left in the stinger tank come game 6.

LOL

We need to close the gap down around 10 in the 3rd to have any chance.

Man, you have some major problems. I guess you are perfectly happy with what they're doing now.

And sorry, but it'll take more than Stephon waking up for us to get back in this game.

If Penny wants to prove that he can still take over a game, like he's been saying, well, now is that time.

wait, wait, wait - they were clearly outplayed in Game 2 - where they had a 7 point lead with 6 minutes left and then choked down the stretch? Look, we are the 8 seed - this was our rebuilding year - keep things in perspective guys - if we win next game that means our 8 seed takes the top team in the league to 7 games - with it's best player injured - take a breath - this game sucks - but get over it - it's what the Suns are gonna have to do and what our fans are gonna have to do - everyone has to come ready come game 6 - the Suns and the FANS!

yeah Chaplin - I'm ecstatic right now! I love getting beat down - and then arguing with fellow suns fans adding insult to injury - to say I have major problems because I have successfully dissected your argument doesn't say much about you. Go Suns

See that's a great post. But what we're talking about is winning this game. We want to give ourselves a chance. Yes, maybe we've overachieved in getting here, but even if that is true, we all still want to win the game. Up until halftime, what we were doing wasn't working. So, we talk about possible changes. There's nothing wrong there.

It's like a ceasefire right now...no team scoring any points.. Looks like another run is coming. Question is, which team will it be?
