Suns @ Spurs - Game Thread - Friday May 18, 2007 - 6:30pm

[Billy Bob]

I say: we play the thug game, if we cant have it....................

 

[Magoo]

We've got 12 minutes left, I don't want to give up on these guys yet.

That being said, the Suns are going to need to step up on offense and defense.

 

[Highpointer]

Stoudemire and Diaw should go - they are responsible for the Suns' loss

I am writing this as the Suns are down by 14 at the end of three periods. It seems like the game is slipping away and the Suns are going to lose.

If the Suns lose, the Suns should trade Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw during the off-season. What they did near the end of the fourth game of the series resulted in their suspensions for the next game and their suspensions cost the Suns the game and the series. If they were eligible to play, the Suns likely would have won - however, they broke the rules and thus they were suspended.

If I was the head of a company, and two of my keys employees broke rules that caused our company to suffer a major loss, then I would fire those employees. The same logic should apply to the Suns. Any player who gets suspended during a playoff series that costs their team the series should no longer be a part of the team.

What do others think about this?

Last twelve minutes, possibly of the season. Let's do it!

 

[Brianellsworth]

Don't forget, double digit come backs have been the norm in this series. Let's not start making excuses before the game is over. If the suns don't pull it out, then we can start making excuses.

Im gonna go ahead and agree with you. We all thought we were done in game 4 and we all thought we had game 5 wrapped up. If the suns are ever going to be champions with this team atleast this 4th quarter is the time to show us. I dont have much faith but enough that I am not throwing the towel in yet.....PLEASE WIN SUNS

that could quite possibly be the worst thing that they could do

 

[dogpoo32]

Diaw sucks. I hate him.

 

[CHAPTER 7]

Diaw offensive foul. This is over.

 

[slinslin]

Homecourt advantage is killing us right now. Their knocking everything down. Nash is doing nothing. Without Steve scoring were not going to win. Period.

Barbosa and Marion are just liabilities.

What the Spurs are doing is simply

Keep a defender on them and don't worry about them driving and if they do
1) they take horrible shots over Duncan
2) Get out of control and turn it over
3) Take a pull-up midrange jumper which is what the Spurs want as they don't have that shot really..

 

[Arctic]

That was a bad call.

 

[mr_sunshine]

I don't think the refs could blow this game anymore. Honestly. We're playing like crap, but my God. They have missed so many calls.

[Mulli]

That was a bad call.

Makes no sense for the Spurs to be allowed to play defense like that, but that is the way it is.

 

[CHAPTER 7]

You cannot win if you cannot make FT. It's over.

 

[slinslin]

Shawn Marion + Leandro Barbosa for Garnett is the best thing we could ever do.

Garnett
Amare
#4
Bell
Nash

...

 

[Arctic]

Gotta make your free throws.

 

[CHAPTER 7]

Done.

 

[Ronin]

okay now it's over.

 

[Yotesfan85044]

It's over

 

[Brianellsworth]

someone should have punched ginobili when he was right in front of the bench that was such a bad call man i hate this

 

[dogpoo32]

Jesus.

 

[Mulli]

Feel free to put Nash back in.

 

[Arctic]

Suns are absolutely falling apart. I really didn't expect this.

 

[CHAPTER 7]

Okay time to shut down. it was good while it lasted. Screw you NBA.

 

[slinslin]

Amare, Nash, Thomas I am proud of those 3, the rest can go wherever. Bell was decent but nothing to be greatly impressed or anything.

Am I the only one who thinks Bell is often ignoring Amare in the post? Instead he tries to be a playmaker.
