Nash is a baby...

[IrishofNDMan]

I know he got checked by Horry pretty hard, but watch him throw his arms up and flop, he should grow a pair.

Tim Duncan was choke city the last 2:30. He's way too soft at times to be considered amongst the top players in the history of the game.

This is really funny. The Spurs are Tim Duncan. He gives so many players opportunities to be good. No way Parker or Ginobili make the Allstar team without a guy like Duncan. One game does not make a series. Nash had his off game and now he comes back and makes all the big shots. Duncan has done the same thing before, had a bad game at the end, followed by a great game at the end. This is the mark of a real player. Lets see how Duncan finishes the series. The best hands of any big man ever. Enjoy it now as you will not see this type of hand eye coordination from a man this big again.

Phoenix played a hell of a game. They hit their shots and the Spurs did not in crunch time. Hats off to the Suns. They showed tremendous grit in that game. Raja Bell and Kurt Thomas have had a huge toughness impact on this team. Nash is a wonderful competitor. I really like the way Phoenix plays now as opposed to prior years. Hope this goes 7 as it is great basketball and really fun to watch for me. This is by far the best series of any played so far, its not even close.

Stoudamire and Diaw suspended for game 5 and Horry.

I understand the rules about coming off the bench but I really wish these guys would play (except Horry). This series is too much fun to watch.

Well, rules are rules but this is a huge hit for the Suns...the fan in me is very disappointed but behavior must have consequences (well, it always does but you know...).

I wish Horry had not been such an idiot. I want to watch the best players. I realize what must happen, but your statement bolded above is my gut feeling.

They will never amend this rule....2 steps from the bench......bang!!! 1 game vacation no exceptions!!

As long as Stern is king ain't no change in the rules that stem from "The Brawl"...

Sorry but Robert Horry sits with the others and someone needs to geld Bruce Bowen while we're talking about dirty defense!!!!!

Hey i've got the Spurs-Pistons on a future bet and if the last game for both teams is any indication of what lies ahead...i'm screwed.

I hope they step it up. They're forcing me to watch the games now and i'm not happy with what i'm seeing.

Utah looks deadly.

Utah is an ugly tough team just like the Spurs.
Phoenix is finally playing defense and I am also worried for a diff. reason. They did not give up, which is something to be admired. Chicago has found a way to score but I think its a bit too late. Detroit is acting like the fat cat again, they have done this before.

The Phoenix/Spurs series so far has been great entertainment and very good basketball. Two very good teams in diff. ways. I must give credit to Phoenix because they were so easy before, they just crumbled. They finally played very determined defensively at the end of a game.
I also am amused as the Spurs have always been considered soft. Cant win with David Robinson, too nice. Cant win with Duncan, too nice. Cant win with Parker, too nice. And now one would think the Spurs are the Oakland Raiders. Its funny. We are an old team playing a young strong pup and pulling out all the tricks being overmatched athletically.
If the Spurs do not do something significant in the off-season it will be a long rebuilding period. We are flat out old and experience only goes so far.

Well Lebron tried to give it to them...Vince wanted no part of it.

Detroit could start 3 against 5 and beat both of those teams in 5.

Cleveland is a bad matchup for Detroit. If Cavs can contain Billips then I believe they can win.
