    Ugh, Spurs/Jazz. What a letdown of a playoffs this year.

    (well, other than the Warriors/Mavs)

    Thing looking dim for the Suns.
    Maybe that explosive offense will come through...

    Uptempo without rock solid defense won't ever get you **** in this league...but it might get you good ratings and soldout crowds at the TC! :eek:

    That's what Le$ has been after all along, I've been saying it for a while now and everything he's done since has only solidified my opinion of him as an owner.

    Well, I guess I'm done for the playoffs. I can't watch a Utah/SA WC Final and I won't watch either one vs Detroit. Unitl next year.

    LOL! Spurs are DESTROYING the Suns not just defensively, but OFFENSIVELY as well.

    Complete and total pwnage. Heck, Manu freakin' Genobili alone has dominated the entire Suns team.

    Spurs have the mental toughness and experience on their side. I picked them in six I think before the series and it's worked out that way, although I do think that if it wasn't for their very rare 'brain fart' late in Game 4 they would've closed the series out at Phoenix.

    You would be making a big mistake then. I think the Spurs/Jazz matchup will be a classic. It will be a throwback to early/mid-90s basketball in terms of physicality, and I think it will be a great matchup.

    Sleep on it :)

    Spurs over Suns, Utah to the conference final. Conclusion: The more floppers you have on your team, the further you progress in the west.

    Rock solid defense and JVG's stale offense won't get the job done either. You need to find a balance between both and luckily San Antonio has it and that is why they've won 3 titles and now maybe 4th one coming up.

    are the spurs really going to blow this? they've completely stopped playing D for fear of fouling and now are giving nash and amare free layups. and then you've got bowen taking quick shots and bricking. just play the game that got you here, not the prevent D.

    If they fumble this one like game 4 then Phoenix is gonna take series in game 7.

    Nash is the only guy on that team with grit, heart and will to win. The rest just lack that mental toughness, IMO.

    I've said it before and will say it again: the Suns will NEVER win anything until Amare takes it upon himself to become a dominant defensive presence in the paint alas Duncan. You have to have great interior defense if you're the Suns, and Amare is their only hope.

    Amare could use a "Dream Big Man Camp" or two to work on his defense. He has the skills, he has the quickness but he has to WANT it.

    Come on Amare, step up to the plate bro, your team depends on it. Want to be an all-time great Center? You gotta learn the art of defense.

    Nash is the only guy with balls on that team.

    BTW, what the heck is that huge bruise on his leg? You know he's getting more than just 'roughed up' when you see internal bleeding. :eek:
