Oh man, what a game! It looked like a role reversal. usually Spurs shut down Suns like Suns shut down Spurs. I could not believe what I was seeing.
Tim Duncan is Shaq's bitch. I counted 5 shots in the first half of 4th quarter where Duncan just could not score one-on-one against Shaq, and he could do nothing to stop him on the other end. No easy layups, no 2nd chance points, Shaq is THE MAN!
Nash had an outstanding game. Only 12 points and 10 assists, but NO turnovers.
Hill is the smartest basketball player in the league. Parker could get NOTHING when Hill was covering him.
How about Dirty Boris though? He stepped up and did one hell of a job. 11 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and a blocked shot. Excellent job on D as well.
Barbosa, Bell, and Giricek did a good job as well.
I was amazing to see Phoenix go inside and dominate against the Spurs. It was even better to see some outstanding team defense. Hill and Diaw switching on those pick and rolls by Parker was just amazing. PERFECT defense.
I can not wait for playoffs!
