Doesn't seem like the Suns run any kind of offense other than give it to Nash. Wonder if that can win a title, my guess is, and my money says, NO. Check the POSTS, I called SA all the way.
They run plays for Stoudamire, Marion and even Bell. However they rely on shots falling. Also Nash in the post game interview again reffered to players not giving their all. "We have to be a little hungrier," Nash said, hitting on a theme he's mentioned often this season. "I think some of us just didn't have the fire it takes to beat a championship team."
"How many times can you talk about it? We just have to have a bigger heart and continue to push through these invisible barriers that seem to pop up. I don't know what they are, but sometimes we just don't play as hard as we should."
Not sure who he is talking about but the espn guess is Diaw and Jumane Jones, combined 44 minutes 1 rebound.
Anyone notice Poutamires bogus end of game play? GNob had choked a potential game (near) clinching freethrow to leave the Spurs up 3 at 109-106 with 22 tics. Phx works ball to Stoudamire who goes up between GNob and Dunkar. Duncar
might have tapped Stoud on the leg with his own leg, but it was very minor. Good no call. Stoudamire misses, ball bounces off. Duncan leaps high (okay positions well) and gets O board with 13 ticks. Stoudamire lands 6 inches from Duncan. Yet..
Stoudamire retreats towards the foul line, palms open whining to the ref as Duncan holds the ball. Yeah, scary shooting as Hack a Shaq foul shooting Duncan. Hey Phx you are only down 3. Stoudamires pouting allows Duncan to not only hold the ball a second or two or three but give him time to get the ball to GNob who in turn passed to Finley. Yep, Nails Finley. Granted Finley missed the 1st but he hit the 2nd shot for the all important 4 point lead and game over. Otherwise Phx is looking at potentially two Duncan ft bricks and 9 seconds to get off a trey attempt.
At least
try Stoudamire, thats the point!
rt and Skandery are you on crack? Give specific examples of refs favoring Spurs to the tune of it being either the difference in the game or entire gamewise the Spurs getting the better of it.
Stoudamire and his leaning moving screens resulting in GNob and Bowen being called a defensive fouls were joke calls that totally affected Spurs momentum. At one point with Bowen dogging Nash the Spurs were up like 8 and showed no signs of giving in. Tweet. Totally bogus moving screen by Stoudamire results in Bowen being run up and having to be benched. I have tape.
