Turn it up Issac! If that foul was committed at NBL or ABL he would have only gotten a normal foul.... maybe an unsportsman like for what they are calling a 'hard foul' these days. He certainly would not have got thrown out of the game and the fact that he got games was absolutaley ridiculous! Just want to say that I am not a spurs fan either.

Did you see how Nash threw his arms in the air like an Italian soccer player....rubbish! The sign/wall that he hit was fully padded anyway...would not have hurt a bit. I have heard of playing for the foul but that was pathetic by Nash...I have lost respect for the bloke....I think its funny that his players were stupid enough to make something of it by leaving the bench...idiots! I know you have to stand up for your team mates, but everyone knows it is up to the guys on the court to do so! Only got themselves to blame.


Toughen up Issac.

Go Utah!

You're forgetting Horry's elbow in the aftermatch which was also a factor.

Horry was reckless IMO.

81 - 81, with about a minute left to play.

Game over. Valiant effort from the Suns to lead for much of the game and then run out of legs (you'd guess). Basically played six guys and three minutes of Pat Burke.

88-85.

Isaac, shows the lack of depth in the Suns roster IMO.

Horry could well have pulled of the scam of the century.

He knows he doesn't have a massive impact on the Spurs as say Amare and Diaw, now the Spurs get to go back to Texas and try to close out the series on their home floor.

Anon, you hit the nail on the head, Suns are soft.

Suck it up sooky SUNS you
broke the rules you pay the price.

Thankyou David Stern

Thankyou Horry

and great 3 ball to finish

from Bruce Bowen.

Home to finish your season off Phoenix

Go you SPURS.

Horry MVP of todays game anyone??

BTW, great read from Bill Simmons from ESPN on the suspensions and Bowen:

Read it here

Bizzy, how does this show a lack of depth in the Suns? You try taking Duncan and Bowen out of the Spurs and put them against a Suns team missing James Jones and we'll see if they get within 3 points. Ridiculous comment.

Billo, I think he is referring to the fact that only 6 players hit the floor, plus James Jones for 2 mins.

Sorry but why are the suns soft. Because nash threw his arms up?

Would not of hurt a bit you say. what about the shoulder bump running at full pace. maybe that could of hurt just a little bit.

On that 3 bowen put up at the end nash should've stuck his leg under bowen when he landed, give him a taste of his own medicine.

New Jersey score 6points in the last quarter and still win... very lucky

Billo, thedoctor is correct, I was referring to the fact that only 6 suns players actually saw time.

Fair play, but there's not many teams out there that go further than 8 deep, especially when it comes to giving guys playoff minutes. You take 2 stars out of any team (including an all NBA first teamer) and they're going to look short handed.

True, but the fact that the Suns stars were obviously tired, you'd have though D'Antoni would have run some other guys to give the starters a break?

bizzy, give your gun players a rest?? with two already out..?? they are still playing a critical game 5 of a playoff series and were in the game (leading for the majority) right up till the last minute. if the game was over in the third, fine, rest your guns..but in d'antoni's situation it would have been stupid to do so.

"Anon, you hit the nail on the head, Suns are soft."

Huh, Bizzy. Explain to me how the Suns are soft. Because they don't body-check opposition players? The Suns used to have a soft tag but in this series especially have gone a long way in shedding that label.

A soft team wouldn't have been able to win game four on the Spurs home floor after being behind for most of the game.

And a soft team certainly wouldn't have almost pulled off a remarkable victory against the Spurs without one of the best finishes in the game in Stoudemire and a pretty decent role player in Diaw. That takes heart and character.

Here's hoping a refreshed Amare has a massive game 6 and takes this great, dramatic series where it belongs to a game 7.

Here here Rat 10 and Rusty!!

If the Spurs win this series it will be a bigger miscarriage of justice than the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. There, I said it.

Love that Bill Simmons article.

Id love to see someone like Boti write about the NBL in similar style

if you're a basketball fan, you'd want a game 7, with all the players back and no excuses. Then the best team can advance.
