    No...

    Spurs' home record was : 31 - 10
    Spurs' road record was : 27 - 14

    Suns' home records was : 33-8

    What he doesn't realize is that he's going to be an inch away from the title every year. Suns always find a way to lose game 7.

    There already was "selective non-enforcement". Tim Duncan left the bench area earlier in the same game, but he wasn't suspended since the NBA front office determined that it was not during an altercation.

    Yes, and that was also part of the rule. Go read the rule. There must be an altercation.

    Yeah, I agree. Let's just never foul any player out of a game ever again. That wouldn't be a fair game where all healthy players are allowed to play.

    :rolleyes:

    And when he means an inch, he means: 2 more wins vs. spurs, 4 against jazz, and 4 against cleveland

    I can understand if it was game 4 of the finals but predicting they are going to win another 10 games..that is more like a foot.

    Why are you rooting for the Suns to come back stronger next year?

    Didn't the Jazz kick the crap out of Phoenix all year long because Phoenix couldn't matchup with them?

    Yet the Spurs went into Phoenix's building and took homecourt advantage away from them. The Spurs title isn't tainted, they're just better then Phoenix. Phoenix was at full strength for Game 6 and lost.

    Who exactly did Stoudemire or Diaw foul, again? Who did they touch?

    Hmm...

    Not a good angle to come from...

    Uhm... Did you watch the series? The Suns then went to San Antonio and got home court advantage back.

    2-2, with the series going back to Phoenix.

    Right...because "the spurs were an even better ROAD team than home team," as you said earlier, right?

    Oh, no... They weren't...

    Well whats done is done..Spurs are the better organized better fit team to make a championship run because they actually CAN play defense...the suns are just a cocky team that thinks they can run teams out the building every night..

    So the Suns should get one game less than the Spurs to win a series? They barely lost game five without Amare. There is an argument, you are just on the wrong side of it, by believing it is okay to have a series in which all eligible players are not allowed on the court (and your earlier argument that the Spurs were a "better road team than home team" was already squashed with facts) .

    its not the spurs' fault that nash flops causing amarea and diaw to run on the court without even thinking of the consequences...Spurs even went 2-1 during the regular season agains the suns

    How far did they run on to the court, again? Hmm... And no...it wasn't a flop. You can't flop at an angle. Keep trying to spin.


    The Cavaliers went 2-0 against the Spurs in the regular season, what's your point?


    2-2, with the series going back to Phoenix.
