Hard to maintain that intensity when two of your top six or seven in the regular rotation are out. Adrenaline can only carry a team so far. They win by 6 or 7 with Stoudemire imo. Oh well, it's over, shit happens, and I still hate the fucking spurs.
Duncan was an animal defensively - Bowen pulled an Horry - nice try by the refs to call Manu for an offensive foul in a tied game with 1:20 to go and he was not even moving - does Curt Thomas miss a shot? - it took D'Antoni 5 games to contemplate double teaming the greatest low post player of our era - boy he is brilliant - obviously, I am a huge SA fan and I have to say this series has been as tough as our series with LA, Detroit and the Mavs - they're tough as shit and this series is still undetermined - problem is I can't trust the Suns to represent the West - I know SA would never lose to an eastern conference team.
Great great series. Suns played hard and tough....Tough one to lose. That suspension is hard to take but you still have to play. These teams are very good. Since last year I have said repeatedly how the Suns do not get their due. They are very good and better than some people think. IF you do not win it all you most likely will not get your respect from most people. San Antonio is a solid championship complete team with great experienced players. I would love to see it go 7.
