Suns @ Spurs - Game Thread - Sat. May 12, 2007 - 5:00 pm

Amare had just 2 rebounds in the half, both offensive. He needs to hit the board hard.

A two-point differential at half-time is not a big deal, actually the Suns are making a good showing seeing as how the game's in SA -- they don't look at all scared or intimidated or tentative. How they come out in the third will be the key -- if they come out playing hard and hold on the D, they can take this one. Nash and Barbosa need to gear it up second half -- it's their time to shine.

KT 1-5. He was hitting same shots last game.

The shots KT was getting last game were wide open. The Spurs are doing a better job of running at him tonight.

 

[Chaplin]

We're only down 2 points at halftime and some of you are ready to slit your own throats.

 

[Nash Attack]

These refs are officially crap

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Spurs are back to playing like the Italian national soccer team.

 

[Chaplin]

So much for the officials changing the way they call games. I hate goon games.

 

[slinslin]

Make your layups Shawn Marion, geez.

 

[az1965]

Can the real Nash please take his head our of his ass???

 

[HooverDam]

Make your layups Shawn Marion, geez.

He probably would've made the second one, but Duncan horse collared him out of the way so he couldn't get the board. The way the Spurs play is absolutely disgustingly dirty and ruins the game of basketball.

 

[Griffin]

By my count Duncan already fouled out. It's got to give a player a ton of confidence knowing that he can get away with anything.

 

[az1965]

No one near the thug for miles for that 3 pointer.

I like the bench and the trainers screaming at him. I hope they were yelling "miss your dirty cheater"

 

[Nash Attack]

Duncan should have at least 8 fouls on him now. Someone is going to have to step up now or the Spurs will run away.

 

[Cheesebeef]

jbeecham - you have my FULL permission to RIP the refs in this game. This is disgusting.

hanging around though - come on guys - keep hanging around and rip their freaking hearts out in the fourth!

 

[F-Dog]

I like how D'Antoni called a time-out specifically to pull Amare with two minutes left in the half. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen if he let things go there.

Did I imply that move was useful? I meant, it was only postponing the inevitable.

Nash is getting grabbed every time he dribbles, without a call. In general this year, this is as physical as I've seen the games called in years.

 

[Black Jesus]

This is the worst officiated game i have ever seen.

Nash blocking foul on Duncan

Amare called for foul on block of dunk.

Amare called for offensive adn 4th away from the ball.

 

[az1965]

I rarely complain about officiating but this is extremely, outrageously, ridiculously, bad officiating...

Duncan should have had FIVE fouls by now. That was as clear an offensive foul as any and last drive by Nash was hacked by Duncan.

 

[Black Jesus]

We should be up 15 right now. What the hell was with Marions missed dunk and layup back to back.

 

[ChinaMeng]

Thank you Steve Nash for making your first field goal with that little jumper.

It's time for the Suns to stop throwing their hands out, toughen up, and just make their shots plain and simple.

All this talk about dirty play may be true, but the Suns need to channel their frustrations inward and take it out on the basket, not the refs or Spurs.

 

[Chaplin]

Raja was 4/4 from 3 in the first half. Has he even taken a SHOT in the 2nd half yet?

 

[Chaplin]

With the exception of a bobbled dribble, Shawn Marion is kicking butt in this game.

 

[slinslin]

I screamed at least 3 times at Shawn Marion, let me remember..

- Play where he should have tried to posterize but instead missed a 2 handed 3 footer
- Play where he tried to pass it back in the post when the man was double teamed.
And a couple other missed easy easy ones and missed rebounds.

But you're notorious for finding the worst in everything.

Good job!

Layups, make them...
