The Suns Playoff Thread: The Road To The Finals

[MC KAos]

I chose to watch day 2 of the draft instead of the game.

Oh well, we're up 3-1. We better finish them off.

Well I was switching back and forth. I will admit that i'm not as big of a fan as I use to be but, i'm still a fan. I've been watching them for about 11 years and i'm only 18.

I remember watching this live:

Yeah, all it took was the destruction of the MVP's nose..

Yea that was it ... ..... Nash needs to stop head butting Parker ...

And I dont remember you Suns fans feeling bad when you faced the Spurs without Duncan a few years ago.

no kidding.

they make it sound like nash was out for a significant portion of the game.


it's not b/c of nash's bleeder that the spurs have won 5 straight playoff games IN PHOENIX.

He wasn't out long but, it was at a crucial moment in the game.

dont forget that there were a couple of instances where they could have put him back in but they didnt want to use a timeout because they were running short, so it could also be bad coaching

They couldn't stop the bleeding.

The NBA's really picky with bleeding players on the court, for obvious reasons. Still, the Spurs played a tough game and as usual Duncan's fundamental game put me to sleep.

Parker and Nash are two point guards who really know how to use their heads.

And Nash in particular nose what he's doing.

...and he also missed a three right before he went out.

and stoudemire missed what...a 6 foot shot? can't make that, you don't deserve to win.

Nash actually hit a big 3 shortly after he cut his nose.

He didn't get back into the game until the last 20 seconds or so.

he cut his nose with about 2:40 to play. he hit the three....and later missed a three, right before he went out, at just under one minute to play.

he got back in at 0:09


he missed about 45 seconds of game time.


let espn.com fill in your bad memory..... http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=270506021


Nash, with a bandage over the cut, made a 3-pointer to tie it at 102 with 2:25 to play, then Duncan gave the Spurs the lead for good with a 10-foot baseline hook shot. Nash missed a 3, then Parker sank a 23-footer to put San Antonio ahead 106-102 with 1:23 remaining.

Nash's driving layup with 1:13 left cut it to 106-104, and Raja Bell drew an offensive foul on Parker to give Phoenix the ball. But Nash had to come out with 54 seconds to go because of blood oozing around the bandage.

After Nash's departure, Barbosa missed a 3-pointer that would have given Phoenix the lead. Manu Ginobili made one of two free throws to make it 107-104 with 32 seconds to play, then Stoudemire's two free throws sliced the lead to 107-106 with 26 seconds to go.

After a San Antonio timeout, Barbosa was called for a foul before the ball was thrown inbounds. That meant Finley got a free throw, and made it, and San Antonio kept possession.

The bleeding finally was contained and Nash returned with 9.1 seconds to go, but by then it was too late.

 

[smarta5150]

I should have said hit his 3... left the game Again... came back with under 20 seconds and missed a 3.

My bad... damn, you're passionate

You worked 15-20 minutes on that post?
