When they were twelve down, I told my wife their playoffs were essentially over. She was amazed when I later told her the Suns had won the game. Best TV moment was when TNT showed the Sun's huddle during a timeout with Marby saying they needed a stop, and Frank Johnson saying they would get that stop, and would win the game! Frank you are a genius! (OK maybe not, but it sure was a good TV moment!) Honestly, I bet most of you thought our goose was cooked at some point during last night's game. How many had Little Jake hitting the game winning shot? That was amazing! :D

I am an opimist and I have seen the Suns come back before. About the time I posted the suns need to get something going they did.

They were running out of time. If the Spurs had matched them for another 1-2 min I probably would have started to think they were done.

I knew if they didn't win last night the series was pretty much over.

I had a bad fealing before the game started. After Fridays game and then the Cards Draft I was not doing to well. At least I got to see the D-Backs win a game before the Suns game. By the start of the fourth I felt they had a chance to win the game.

With 9 minutes left, down by 10, I turned it off. Yes I did. I was so down after a bad Cardinals draft and then watching us stink up the court for 3 quarters that I quit.

Fortunately I turned it back on just in time to see Voskhul's hook shot.

Freddie, I felt the same way. After Shawn Marion missed that slam dunk I thought San Antonio would go on a run.

I thought that same thing exactly, but when San Antonio missed the shot the following time down, I exhaled in relief.

We were playing alot better "D", and JJ was playing descent(alot better than he has been this series)...



Marbury was a warrior last night, he couldnt even shoot the ball after than bad stinger....

Being on the east coast, I had to get some sleep for work. So, when the end of the third quarter rolled around and we were down by 8 or 10 and the Spurs were flopping around more than my grandmother's underarms and the Refs were endorsing their checks from the Spurs Booster club, I sadly turned off my television. I was so pleasantly surprised the next morning.

I wish I could've seen the comeback and the choice tv moments.

This team has heart.

I was kind of upset in the beginnng of the forth but i kept watching. Then when stephon went down with the injury I was hoping Penny would now step up his game. Thats when JJ came in and started flying o the basket then Penny got into the action then Shawn next thing you know game is tied.

I thought we were going to lose after about 6 minutes into the fourth and we still hadn't put any run together. I still held out hope, cause i've seen this team come back from much worse, but I was pretty much mentally preparing myself for the summer and how I wouldn't have the Suns to watch from very soon on. I have to prepare early for such a tragedy...

I thought the Suns were going to loose but knowing how lucky they can be, I knew they were playing just well enough ( or SA was playing just bad enough - whatever) to have a chance at the end. I hate to say this but, without luck, the Suns would be on Summer vacation waiting for school to start. The nice part is that they're just good enough to be lucky.

It was an UGLY game, but we won, and that's what counts.:thumbup:

I was so upset at the beginning of the fourth quarter that I turned the channel. After a bit I started feeling like a bad fan and turned back. We were still not looking good but I hung in there and I'm very glad that I did.
