^ Thats nonsense I would much rather watch fun entertaining Suns basketball than Spurs like crap. Some people just don't grasp its ENTERTAINMENT for fans ... I don't live and die by the Suns winning a championship if it happens great I want to see entertaining basketball period.
Go watch Globetrotters then... I want championship, most fans want championship, and the team wants championship... that's the ultimate goal of every team in the league.

Here is a Spurs scenario in boxing.

If two boxers are in a match and one hits the other at the beltline but the guy acts like he was hit in the 'nads and almost falls to his knees holding his cup crying low blow. So the referee concludes that he must have been hit below the waist and takes points away from the other guy. Is that fair? Is that boxing?

How is that different than what the Spurs do? Eff that. They fake the refs to get an advantage, which is BS. I want to watch the Suns win a championship but not like that. So if you want to win a championship at all costs, I don't agree. Anyway the Spurs won't win jack this year, they will cheat and still lose.

They're total losers.... like saying "I cheated on my test but I still failed it."

The league could easily do away with that type of nonsense if, after reviewing the games, they just suspended guys for faking. That would clean it up almost immediately and restore the integrity of the game. JMO yours may vary.

Budweiser could do a commercial.

Real Men of Basketball.

"Here's to you, you sissy fall down, who me, fake the ref into making bad, game-changing calls because you are not good enough to win honest so you have to act like a faking ho. We had to add a rule just to keep you from ruining the game. Yes we're talking about you flailing ********* in San Antonio."


"So crack open an ice cold Bud Light and don't worry. Just because they don't want you in the NBA anymore doesn't mean you're not the best faker since Harry met Sally. Maybe they will make a sequel in your honor."

"And remember, without contact, real men only fall down when they've had one too many to drink."

That's not the point. These guys are talking about preferring watching an up-tempo team that's great in the regular season but stinks in the playoffs.

This is something people who hate the Suns say. There's no truth to it.

The truth is we performed the same in the playoffs as well as we did in the regular season. We could beat most teams, but for some reason could never beat the Spurs.

I agree with everyone saying they'd rather take their chances with up tempo than turn into the Spurs.

Exactly. What part of "Game, Set, Match" did they not get? :D

Game. Set. Match.

Give me boring with a few rings on the finger versus exciting and ZERO. Look at our history. We have had enough of exciting basketball that produces zero titles.

Maybe you should also look at it another way as well. Do you think the Spurs would be where they are if they hadn't gotten Tim Duncan and David Robinson? I guess there is a reward for being bad.

That's a given. They would not have gotten a Dave Robinson or Tim Duncan calibur player in their prime through free agency.

The Mavs lost to Denver tonight by two points. JKidd is also out with a back injury.

What a game by Carmelo tonight. Those Dallas injuries could be really serious for them if the Suns keep on winning. Kidd and Howard are both good defenders, and Dallas will likely suffer on the defensive end now. Carmelo scored over 40 on them tonight, as the first example.
