Good luck this offseason... you need to keep your ATL pick...

Dont be silly we will manage to give that away and two future first rounders for some cash

In all seriousness congrats guys, there an be no excuses this year unlike previous years, we just got outclassed when it counted and only have ourselves to blame this year.

I do have to own up to Diaw having a game like in G4 again... only it ended up having mixed results for the Suns.

Also while Bell still played well, as expected he didn't play as big as in G4

Yeah, and it effected Nash as well, though to a lesser extent

lol

Right in their damn face

All the Suns pickers, including ones not displayed there affiliated with ESPN

Really ridiculous how one-sided a significant part of the media were, even with the Suns popularity and flash

Not sure what SI's picks were

The Big Close Out
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is usually money when his team has a chance to clinch a playoff series. Pop has the highest career winning percentage in potential series clinching games of any head coach in NBA history.

Great job by the Spurs to pull this one out! The Suns have been ecliped for the season. The Spurs will move on to face the Hornets.

And to the so called experts that pegged the Suns as the winners of the series. Have some pie!

Congrats on a great, entertaining, series. Wish it could have lasted longer for us, but the better team won. I hope we can keep it together and give you all another run at it. If nothing else these series are fun to watch. I have to rebute this whole rivalry thing though. Last I knew, rivalries weren't so damn one sided. You all own us, Great game and good luck in round two with NO. Parker/Paul match up is going to be classic.

So glad we closed this one out. Even though it was short, it was a tough, tough series and one that I'm very happy to be done with.

So do a hammer and a nail have a rivalry?
