It is inevitable, there will be threads blaming every single aspect of this organization for this crushing defeat.

But, I only suggest you hold complete judgment until the series ends.

Yeah I understand the frustration; I understand how bad you feel. It is all doom and despair here and very little can be done to change that.

But, as cliché and as idiotic this might sound….don’t count out the Phoenix Suns just yet.

Yeah, you can go back and see that no team down 3 games as ever come back to win the series, but reading statistics like that is only going to fuel the frustration.

Take it as it is, the Phoenix Suns didn’t show up and it’s no one’s fault but their own…in this game. We must move on to game 4.

So please stop the blame game, you can resume it after they are beaten 4 times.

Anything can happen...

This series is over. The Spurs just "turned it on" this series. They have 3 scorers who are all-stars. We have 1 scoring all star, and 2 over the hill guys who used to be great. I wish that was not the case, but it is.

Nash had 7 points, meanwhile Parker went off for a career high 41. Shaq actually ended up with about 19 to his credit but I'm most disappointed in Nash. He was totally shut down this game and that was the big difference. I guess he really does wear down.

:(

I find this post immature and rather disrespectful towards myself. I was talking about the team as a whole, no where did I speficially mention Shaq.

I do blame the refs. Yeah I know skeptics will claim that the officiating couldn't have made that much of a difference but they set the tone early and allowed the Spurs to play from ahead and tried everything they could to disrupt Shaq's freethrow rhythm.

Please just give us one decent referee crew for game 4 so we can see how these teams really match up.

Who didn't know how the refs were going to handle the playoffs? Same as they've always handled the playoffs.

The aggressive team gets the respect. The passive team gets left out.

Power ball beats small ball.

The team that plays better defense is going to be rewarded.

Pinning hopes on the referring crew isn't going to bring our Suns a championship. The management team getting their heads out of their butts could.

But y'know what? They haven't for forty years.

Yup, we Suns fans have a curse, just as the Cubs. But ours is real.

It the Curse of Alvan Adams. Making the finals early in our history --once -- with a 212 lb. Center has led us down the wrong road for all these years which have followed.

i wonder if Andrew is going to cry and avoid watching ESPN for a few weeks so he doesn't have to cope with the Shaq trade criticism

This person is obviously a Spurs troll. I mean, every single one of his posts make reference to bad referees.

I don't mean to offend Andrew since I love his optimist and enthusiasm, but this reminded of Andrew chasing Passenger: :)

the bad thing about Andrew's Kool-Aid is that it is Shaq-only flavored. It doesn't have any Phoenix Suns flavor. He only cares for the Shaq taste in the kool-aid.
