  • you know you are a great free throw shooter at 6:25 when nash misses..see the two dudes do a double high five lol

  • Comment removed

  • although I was rooting for the suns, and the series was one-sided this game is a classic!!

  • it's such a shame this game ended like that in 2ot...nash's corner 3 was so insane the man is so unbelievably clutch but it always seems to be overshadowed

  • *Haters

  • I don't get how people dubbed the Spurs are "boring" to watch? Wtf? That was like the most intense game ever.

  • Comment removed

  • eight seed*

  • yall are sun hatters!!!!! but spurs lost to a first seed so suck that!!!

  • @peachboi34 I think you mean 8th seed you knob! Get your facts right before commenting.

  • Shaq is such a flop, he had the ball it's like if he just let it go.

  • 3:16 tell me if rondo wrestbrook williams or paul can shoot it in that type of fashion..not just hit a 3 off a screen but nash picks his spots better than any pg..just my opinion

  • suns let the spurs get so many easy points in overtime, its no surprise they lost...

  • It's always fun to see the Spurs ending the Sun's NBA season...03, 05, 07, 08 and even 11 (our win against in the regular season did nail their coffin). 2000 (no TD) and 2010 was a bit of a disappointment, but they had to win one or two.

  • @atenciaf and it was fun to see memphis beat the spurs

  • @philliessuck4ever Yeah, the Suns were watching from home.

  • I was in Air Force technical training in Mississippi and about 20 of us watched this game on the weekend in the barracks on a big screen. Everyone was going for Shaq and the Suns and hating on the Spurs. Another guy and I who were both from San Antonio kept rooting for the Spurs and freaked out at this game's outcome. Great memory!

  • DO HO HE HITS IT!!!

  • I got tickets to this game as a birthday present, first playoff game and soo worth it

  • I was on vacation in Corpus during this game. It was amazing. We were shouting and running down the hotel hallways.

  • That was the best game in years. Amazing performance by the Spurs. So much excitement and it was only game 1. GO SPURS GO!!!

  • Magic Ginobilli

  • that's impossible, Kobe Bryant is positively the most reliable athlete in the National Basketball Association right now , certainly. Anyway, I am dunking in my basketball games and I'm barely under 6 feet. Its pretty much all as a result of "50-inch-vertical[dot]com", you really need to try it out if you play the game of basketball at all. I have gotten loads significantly better all around thanks to the workout.

    Phoenix suns vs San antonio spurs game 1 2008 playoffs

  • One of the best NBA games I've ever seen...and they say the Spurs are boring...pfffft!!!

  • Best game I've ever seen :)

  • I remember watching this game...I had just joined the Air Force and was stationed at Kessler AFB in Missippi. A bunch of us gathered together in the rec room to watch the NBA playoffs...everyone else wanted the Suns to win because they hated the spurs. I, as a SATX native, had the last laugh!

  • all this in one game

    damn some whole series aint as good as this one game

  • Without Amare the suns won't suck...They'll SWALLOW

  • @ManuGinobili21RG without nash they would be nothing

  • im suns fan and my heart been broken since 2005 until 2011. i hate late games

  • 8:13 is the best clutch while he was moving and made the three. i love you nashh

  • I miss Kurt Thomas

  • @BurtMandrake hahahaha those eyes! stare you down like a feinding crackhead

  • OH THE OLD SPURS HERE! THIS IS THE LAST OF THAT great run they had, the last of the great team they had there :( This year and last pure shyt, this was the last of their runs here.

  • @onblock7 Apparently not

  • @cerezapop03 I hope this is not the last of their runs too! I miss the title team runs! Peace.

  • @onblock7 Apparently not

  • SWEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

  • anybody other than smoothhoopinal tried the nba workout program for dunking and shooting? Even players like Kobe have used this training. If you have no idea what's I'm talking about, here you go 50inch vertical[dot]com

  • @theodoredown5360 Kobe Sucks on ice. And He does not treat other players very nicely he pushes them to the ground and still no foul is called on him. He should be kicked out of THe NBA.

  • best game in my book, every clutch shot was going in even Tim Duncan's three wow that was amazing, this year is going to be great. GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Kleenex Suns are nobody's Rival.

    They are little girls in pink panties who cry alot when they pee their panties.

  • It's the suns turn to win this series this year. GO SUNS!!!!!!

  • @stealtheagle94 They beat the older washed up Spurs team, in their prime with Bowen etc. they never beat the SPURS! NEVER! They beat the older washed up team, like an old washed up boxer they got him past his prime.

  • Overlooked in this game is the fact that Nash's 3 pointer near the end was just as clutch as Duncan's, if not even more so.

  • here we go again suns spurs playoffs nash is gonna have 2 d up good on parker he cant let him do what he did 2 him 2 years ago and even if amare has a good good it still might not be enough to win amare cant do it by himself every1 on the suns is gonna have 2 play good we need j rich 2 do what he wa dodin 2 the blazerz good luck suns...

  • If San Antonio beats Dallas and Phoenix beats Portland. We'll see another one of this classic rivalries this year

  • go to hell san antonio

  • The Nba wouldn't be the Nba if the referee'd had this foul called.

  • any link for a better 10 min quality of this game? i am seeing pixles here

  • The suns had a bad-ass team. Shaq,stoudiemiere,nash,barbosa­. Its a shame they didnt make the finals

  • Did Duncan travel when he got that pass and shot that three. (he moves his feet)

  • @UptownGT yes he did travel, but of course the refs didn't call it, it's the spurs...

  • @jcuki5 & @UptownGT, no it's not a travel. You are allowed two steps before any shot. (i.e. two steps before a layup)

  • @mjf1143 not always true. if it's a running shot then yes, but you can't take two steps then STOP then shoot the ball. that is a travel.

  • @jcuki5 Check yourself. The NBA rule book states:

    b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.

    The "two-count rhythm" was reworded to mean "two steps".

  • man this was like game 7 of the west conf. finals

  • Duncan for president!!!!

  • Still can't believe Ginobli could go left so easily. Why not force him right?

  • wtf? why are do stupid people say the Spurs are cheaters? seriously?? there team is what greatness is. the first three attempt by duncan and he made it, when it counted the most. they were behind 16 points, and they came back WINNING the game. they win championships, the Suns dont. thats the difference between this two teams, its all about the Spurs, baby:)

  • nash's three at 8:17 was amazing

  • What a great finish to a great rivalry. Spurs came out on top, congratulations..

  • 2:03 .. Shaq can still move.

  • That comment was for Meda01

  • They fought to the end in this game.

  • manksandu said except for boston vs celtic series lol what a dumbass

  • This game belongs in Game 7 of the Finals, not Game 1 of the first round!

  • Best game in over 5 years

  • except for boston vs celtic series

  • Yeah, the Celtics/Bulls series is simply amazing!

  • i know never seen anything like it.

  • @PatriotPrideBoy Umm have you seen any of the games from the Bulls/Celtics series a few years ago ?

  • i know it was game one of the playoffs, so the stakes weren't as high, but i think this is simply the best game i have seen in my life. i understand people might point at some boston-lakers games, but those were huge because of the stage (the finals). this GAME, not situation, is the best ever

  • top 3 game of all time tim duncan is so lucky though

  • this game shows all duncan haters that hes the best power forward ever!

  • i think this game was greatfull it was incredible the bes game in long long time i like very much spurs about his effort in all games

  • Even though the Suns didn't win that game I thought it was the greatest playoff basketball game in a long time. I think had they fouled before Finley made that three I think they could've won the game.

  • what a game!!

    best match i saw in a long time

  • LA vs Boston? Nah...

    Suns and Spurs... GAME!!!

  • some people say the spurs and suns have a rivalry but a rivalry is when 2 teams hate each other and hold a grudge against each other

    but phoenix is the only one holding a grudge though

    to the spurs however, the suns arent really that much of a big deal because the suns always manage to screw up at the last minute

  • The way i would put it is they are evenly matched teams RIGHT UNTIL the clutch moments and that's where San Antonio has the edge everytime. The only thing I don't like about San Antonio is the flopping they rely on.

  • @warbeater01 you are so right

  • 6:50 oneal!

  • the best game of the 2008 playoffs

  • Nash shud have the ball no matter wat down the stretch nash is definitely one of the top guys in the league for clutch the only reason he has less game winning shots than guys like kobe its cause the suns blow out most of the teams they play but anyways nash is CLUTCH

  • This was probably the best game i ever saw

  • if SHAQ made his FREE throws The Suns Would have won!!

  • no suns would have won if they gave nash the ball at the end but they didnt and thats y they can never win against spurs.

  • ginobli...to the basket...puts it up...banks it in!!!!

  • This was probably the best game i ever saw!

    my bros are suns fans and i was so happy that spurs won agansit them. best day ever!

  • this video is good but wack as quality

  • Suns are fucking retarded, they were the best in the league only behind Boston and the Lakers and they fuck it all up by trading away Marion.

    They had a better chance at winning it with Marion than they did with Shaq.

  • thats what i said too

  • Besides the game where Boston beat LA coming back by 20 something, this would probably have been the greatest game in the playoffs.

  • nah that game was ugly, this one was high-octane...

  • if the spurs would have at least a two day rest against the lakers they would have won. they left it all in new orleans who i cant stand but i give them props.

  • Spurs can fuck up the Lakers anytime they want it just they didnt had heavy defense on Kobe

  • but lakers beat the spurs more times in the playoffs in the last 10 yrs than anyone.

  • if you don't call what happened in 3:24 whining, then i don't know what is...

  • Best Spurs game ever, even though it wasnt a championship game. So intense throughout the entire game

  • The Spurs beating Suns is just another day at the office.

    The Spurs winning the Finals is tradition.

  • OUCH.

    LMAO.

  • spurs are fucking good thats why we made it to the finelslast year and we are going this year

  • Oh yeah, by the way...we Spurs fans have gone through playoffs, finals and Championships...and u NEVER decide someone owns the other team based on just 2 games. That's premature. Take it from us with experience lol.

  • He he he, who owns who now? 100/80

  • NASH 3 at the end was the best

  • Boring Spurs? Don't hate them cuz your team Ain't them! 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007...what has ur team done?...yawn! Go Spurs Go!

  • big manu. when you were borred of NBA come to madrid.here you will not be the best 6th man,you will be the number 1

  • Hell at this point, even if the spurs dont win another playoff game, at least they knocked out the suns and gave their pathetic fans more to whine about. It's almost as sweet as winning a championship.

  • The Suns beat them 3 times during the regular season why couldn't they do it now!?

    Oh well.... the Lakers or Hornets should elimate this team once and for all

    GO LAKERS!!

  • Keep thinking that. When there kicked out next round, you'll be right along Suns fans, oh well, next season.

  • yess no more suns

    i hate them

  • Spurs are a damn good team. Sucks we lost, but I respect them. They were the better team and Tony Parker is the shit.

    But I still don't like Bruce Bowen. :)

  • would u trade nash for parker right now

  • Honestly yes. I love Nash but he's 34 and I believe they said Tony is 24. Parker has a chance to get even better and Steve is entering the last couple years of his career.

  • No...

    Tony would play like Barbosa if he's in phoenix

  • I wish I knew that guy's name from the other day on ESPN, before round 1 started he said he predicts SUNS in 6...no no no...it was SPURS in 5!!! Guess he was wrong, lol lol

    Go Spurs Go!

  • Go Hornets Go! CP3 for MVP! I love the Tim Duncan face when he looks so dejected. The Hornets are so fun to watch! I hope they sweep the boring Spurs!

  • Many people hates spurs.. i don't know why they look spurs as nobody team...

    SPURS is a great TEAM.

    their rhythm and their understanding of the game makes them one strong team.

    talking about talent vs suns

    suns has the talent

    but talent id different when you want WINNING. spurs talent is to find a way to win the game as a team.

  • suns are SHIT

  • Laker or Hornets fans will be saying the same to you very soon, lol

  • Damn it, that game was fucking ours.

  • Yeah but your team screwed up

  • Fuck Phoenix! The sun has set in San Antonio!! lol Go Spurs Go!!! Bring on New Orleans! We're ready to kick more ass!!!!!

  • Lakers play as dirty as Spurs and will clean them out.

  • San Antonio should change their name to the FLOPPERS.

  • Okay, don't get me wrong, I think San Antonio has the best TEAM in the NBA, but the flopping calls they are getting are making me sick. Can you even guard them?

  • I just hate it that the refs don't let Stoudamire or O'neal play defense on anyone.

  • what a pity for suns :(((

    We shall overcome

    GO SUNS,GOOOOOOOOOO !!!

  • i have to say those are some mighty long seconds in the last minute... it just kept pausing and pausing and it happend while the suns were attempting to run down the clock... home court advantage

  • Manu is the greates!

  • fuck you jamie carl...lakers wil lget the trophy dis year..and ur fuckin suns is swept!! hahaha and in the 2008 season the suns havent won against lakers bitch

  • i wish we(suns) got d lakers in d first round...we could've beat their ass up in d first round jst lyk last year....i admit even i am a suns fan spurs r gd....duncan is jst great....bt im hoping dat der wud b a miracle in d nxt 4 games 4 d suns...

  • damn..this game was intense

  • suns are gay SPURS RULE

    even ducan made a three on them

  • 4-0 sweep go spurs go!!!!

  • Thanks so much smoothhoopinal for putting this up! I was lucky enough to be at the game and this video lets me see what the rest of the country saw.

    Simply the most amazing (almost surreal) sporting event I have ever witnessed.

  • poor! suns

  • why dont Phoenix move to east... so they will win at least Eastern Conference... PHX are such a loser

  • what a game!!!

  • What does it take for the Spurs to lose??!!!

  • to play against the lakers

  • suns SUCK!!

  • Awesome game

  • 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, Let's do it again! Go Spurs Go!!! And I disagree...Spurs are Not the dirtiest team in the league, they are actually one of the cleanest. Stop lying, it makes u look desperate : (

  • i hope the lakers will win over 1st round i wish bynum is back the spurs was defeated by lakers swept in the series back in 2001 i hope they can do it again Go Lakers!!

  • Spurs: They just WIN. Who cares how? Flopping, sure, whatever. Is there any flopping in the crunch time? Nope. Everyone flops. Everyone gets calls. WHATEVER. JUST WIN BABY! GO SPURS GO.

  • Yea but other teams don't foul intentionally when they are up 10 points because Spurs are terrible baddies.

    Too bad the rule is getting changed next year so they can't pull it out their asses.

  • San antonio spurs vs detorit pistons this year

  • SPURS ALL THE WAY BABY!tht was a friggin great ganme!! i wish i watched tht! TIM DUNCAN BABY!! ALL THE WAYY!!

    3POINTs BABY!! he hasnt done tht in a long time!! GO FOR CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN!

  • suns got a clown for a coach. they would be better with isiah.... lol

  • You know what, you can't get gold if you don't dig the earth.

  • actually catndryer spurs are the dirtiest team in the league. And dont give me that shit all you anoying ass little spurs fans say. Dont deny that shit either

  • stfu up and cry some more, go have more dreams of ur suck ass team winning the gold cause spurs all the way baby.

  • Phoenix Suns is a strong team BUT not enough to defeat San Antonio Spurs.

  • I know you're dying to come up with something to critisize about the Spurs....but you ought to be able to do better than flopping. If SA is the best flopping team in the NBA...Phoenix is close second....and wishes they were first.

    Also, the idea that if someone exaggerates their fall then there must not have been a foul....that's ridiculous. The "flop" is a trick used to get a foul that happened...called.

  • The sun lost not because tim hit a 3-pointer, they lost because they gave up a 16 point led. Now I'm not a big basketball fan but I think it kinda funny how the spurs whom won more title than anybody in the past 10 years don't get any credit for being a good team and yet people even the nba comm. defend the cheap shot made by the sun (o'neil faceplant on manu) or the sun player hitting the ground like they got shot every time someone touches them.

  • I think there's plenty of acting on both sides, but Ginobili takes it to a whole new level. He's probably the biggest flopper in the NBA. You can't flop around like a dead fish the whole game and then be upset when you don't get a call. Haven't they heard of the boy who cried wolf in Argentina?

  • i was really hoping suns can win the series this time...but they can't seemed to be able to stop ginobili for the past few years

  • oh...how sad.....

    the "better" team loses again.

    no flops.

    no foul trouble.

    no bad officiating.

    only shaq and bell took cheap shots.

    poor KLEENEX SUNS....boo hoo, boo hoo.

  • so true

  • Poor people? Hahaha.

    Which is why people from the northeastern states are flocking down here? Lmao. We are not poor. You don't see us foreclosing our houses left and right.

    Ignorance isn't bliss.

  • I know. People are losing their homes left and right and then have to move down to San Antonio. It's sad. They could use some cheering up. Go Spurs!

  • I don't know that San Antonio's all that bad. I have friends down there who showed me around town and we had a great time. The only thing I would say is that Spurs fans I think are pretty fanatical because the Spurs are the only professional sports team they have. No football. No baseball. No hockey. If it's the only show in town, it better be good, I guess. I hate Shaq but still rooting for the Suns. As long as San Antonio or Lakers don't take it this year I'll be happy.

  • your right, the spurs fans in san antonio are fanatical, if it were a religion, our holy trinity would be tim, manu and tony lol, We do have a minor hockey league lol, yeah.... Were all crazy for our spurs lol!

  • spurs won game 2 yeahhhhhh

  • ..can u post the ganme 2?

    spurs can win this ballgame!! oh yeah!!!

  • what a game...

  • I say let San Antonio win. I feel bad for the poor people who live down there. What else have they got?

  • Well that was rude.
