Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Semifinals, Game 4 – Suns At Spurs Game Thread

[cly2tw]

Great overall game by Amare as well, even with the couple of mistakes. He has really bought into the game plan and is fitting in rather than forcing it. Playing D, hustling, boxing out - doing all the non-glory things that make a difference. And yet he is still unbelievably efficient on the offense end of things and a great FT shooter.

His interior d. has been excellent. His timing on help d great, as witnessed in the block on TD's layup/dunk attempt, and blocking Hill's and-1 attempt that got Hill lying on the ground for 2 min after collision. He was a bit late to cover the perimeter shooting though. And he boxed out TD in the closing min with someone else snapping the rebound just at his feet, but he genuinely got excited by the successful boxing out on the way up to the court. Really good to see that it seems team first with him these days.

Oh, forgot to mention his drawing the charge call on Manu. It was so clean that Manu never complained to refs as usual. That's some true evolution of defensive skills before our eyes.

How many dudes are going to call their one eyed monster "Steve" after this?

For some strange reason I'm hoping the answer is zero.

Steve

NOW is it a rivalry?

NOW is it a rivalry?

Yes.
Also, I can't think of a better path to the Finals than thru:
1) Portland
2) San Antonio
3) The effing Lakers.

The ultimate topper would
be to defeat Boston.
These four teams have eliminated the SUNS from the playoffs a combined total of 16 times.

Time to get some.

Kenny is just so anti suns.. Even if we had the entire roster of the 50 NBA greatest players in their primes playing for us he'd still go against the suns.. **** him. He can go gag on kobes penis.

As my name suggests, I'm a Spurs fan but I just wanted to say well-deserved win to all you Suns fans. You all were simply better than us by a wide margin this year. Hopefully, you'll take down LA & move a step closer to getting Nash and Amare (not to mention everyone else) their rings. Good luck to you all - gonna be a fun series to watch.

I was thinking the same thing. If only Houston could have been in the mix.

No doubt. '94/'95 choke job was more brutal than the Finals loss to the BULLS in my book.
