    All I know is you get penalized if you dive. (like flopping in NBA).

    make anybody but nash shoot this 3. trap the pick, rotate as quickly as possible and rotate off marion if possible and if marion makes it then you tip your hat to him and go to OT. but not nash, he shoots too well.

    In hockey, diving (flopping; prettending you got hooked or tripped and falling down) gets you 2 minutes in the penalty box.

    thanks David Stern

    thanks for restoring boredom to the NBA finals (likely Spurs Pistons) by single handedly gifting this series to the bloody Spurms.

    im pissed off.

    nash with a rare really bad decision there. didn't get behind the line and forced a shot with plenty of time to get a better one. i really can't believe the spurs stopped choking long enough to finally pull this one out (assuming nothing crazy happens). sucked on offense forever but finally got it together and didn't let phoenix get great looks.

    If they make a flop rule, it should be named after Manu. Bell learned from the best.

    The game was a grave injustice. Good job Suns but it's hard to win a fight with an arm chopped off. Anything the Spurs do from now on is tainted.

    The sound you just heard is America tuning out of the NBA playoffs for the rest of the season. Lowest rated finals ever, guaranteed.

    Suns lost but they have to be feeling good.

    They almost pulled a win without Diaw or Amare tonight. Although I have to say, this team doesn't lose too much without Amare. Sure they look better offensively but they are worse of defensively with Amare in the lineup too.

    They can win in San Antonio in game 6 and then they have all the momentum in game 7.

    Yea, as long as nash is on the floor they have a shot. Amare and Diaw will be fired up too...

    Amare and Diaw better bring a lot of energy next game because Nash, Bell, Marion and Kurt Thomas will be running on fumes by the 2nd half.

    Seeing Bruce Bowen hitting that game winner was painful. But hey, he just tried to injure opponents in game 1 and 3, but he sure never left the area of his bench !

    Suns came close, but were too tired at the end (I wonder why ?). Anyway, they can win next game. Game 6 should be a great game.

    Horry is taking playoff clutchness to a whole new level.

    Now, even when he is not at the game, he still comes thru for the team when it counts.

    Some guys are just born winners!

    Only if Stern hasn't worn out the Suns, in particular Nash and Thomas. I really don't like the Suns, but right now this series makes me sick. Prior to the last game, the NBA can't expect decent and consistent officiating. Since then, we can't even ask for good basketball anymore. Stern is everything a basketball fan don't want as the commish of the NBA, and Stupid Jackson is simply his BIA*CH!
