"In the first game, we fouled them too much an they [scored] too much in transition," Manu Ginobili said. "In Game 2, they stopped running but they beat us on offensive rebounds. Tonight we didn't foul them, they didn't beat us on the offensive boards, Amare scored seven points and they killed us anyway. That's the tough part to swallow."

Phoenix has played like ****----yes, ****---these past two games, and yet somehow pulled out a win.

Now, you might think I'm nuts. Hell, some might say that this is a GOOD sign that they're winning these games. Maybe. But it was a mess for the second straight game. Terrible shooting, terrible spacing, no flow....nothing. Amare was worthless, J-Rich scored but he made some really stupid decisions and played some horrible D, Nash was lackluster save for a few really nice (admittedly crucial) shots. Lou didn't do anything, Dudley didn't do anything....

If someone could tell me how Channing Frye's foul was a flagrant, and how Tim Duncan's inverted DDT setup was somehow a foul on Barbosa, that'd be great btw.

We were lucky that Goran showed up tonight, because we weren't winning this game otherwise. We were lucky that SA missed a bajillion free throws. Lucky, lucky, lucky.

****, maybe we deserve the luck after all the crap over the years.

Whatever it is, we're not done yet. I don't wanna hear ANYTHING about the Lakers. I don't wanna hear ANYTHING about the Western Finals. This job is not finished yet. If ANY team can blow a 3-0 lead, it's Phoenix. If ANY team can come back from a 3-0 deficit, it's San Antonio.

That said....let's get this **** DONE on Sunday.

Agreed - just a quick 5 minutes to start and 5 minutes after the third.

HEY WAIT A MINUTE I KNOW WHOSE MINUTES TO TAKE.

... Amare was worthless,

--- i bwg to differ; he was shut down but has become an excellent passer out of the double-triple team. He played solid defense and did the little things. And when they backed off him to protect the three, he scored.
He did exactly what he needed to do for us given the Sputs strategy


J-Rich scored but he made some really stupid decisions and played some horrible D, Nash was lackluster save for a few really nice (admittedly crucial) shots. Lou didn't do anything, Dudley didn't do anything....

----- JT I think was just over-excited - been a llong time since he's played games that mattered this much or was n the cusp of really going for it. this team is still over-achieving - to co that, we need different guys to be the hero at different times. That's a huge thing to have going for you. Reminds me of some ofthe latter Celtic teams, like '74

If someone could tell me how Channing Frye's foul was a flagrant, and how Tim Duncan's inverted DDT setup was somehow a foul on Barbosa, that'd be great btw.

--- that Barbs foul was almost as bizarre a call as the Nahs free throw a few games back, when he wasn't eveninvolved in the play

We were lucky that Goran showed up tonight, because we weren't winning this game otherwise. We were lucky that SA missed a bajillion free throws. Lucky, lucky, lucky.


-- Yes, andreally good teams tend to be lucky. Duncan's three ....

Also, best of luck against the Los Referee Lakers. My money's probably on the Suns, but I gotta get with Donaghy first!
