Phoenix Suns: 2008 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 2

[thehtownking]

what mother fuckers said that the spurs are goin to lose to the weak ass nothing hornets??

oh yea thats right all the spurs haters said that but guess what bitches its all tied up and the spurs will win the next 2 games to take it in 6.

[fairiechick7]

okay take a pill christ! u can get ur point across without swearing cant u??? jesus!

[mandiixoxo]

what the fuck are you on, bamboo?

Bowen is a great basketball player. Stop acting like you know everything about basketball, or the NBA, because OBVIOUSLY you don't.

[shollow4]

What is the difference between doing it in the first quarter and doing it the last. It is the same principle so you dont make any sense when you say it is classless to do it only in the first.

[onemanrme63]

ur an idiot. in sports its all about catching a rythm. no matter how great u are if u dont catch a rythm u aint gonna do shit. thats why they did it in the first. thats the difference. if shaq catches a rythm hes gonna score when he gets fouled. if he doesnt get that rythm he doesnt score and misses both free throws most likely. thats the diff. foul in the first he shoots two. wait till the fourth he has a chance in getting a 3 pt play everytime thats when it will be too late.

[bamboo555]

Makes sense, still low class-

Bamboo.. out.

[shollow4]

Ur the idiot. I am not saying that there is a difference between doing it in the first quarter and the last in terms of rythm. I know that rythm is everything, especially in basketball. I am talking in terms of class. How is fouling in the first quarter less classy than fouling in the last.

[onemanrme63]

i never said it was less classy. i dont think its low class at all. i think its just smart basketball. doing the hackashaq is perfectly legal. theres no rules against it. u do what u gotta do to win. if a team can find an advantage over the other they use it. shaq cant shoot free throws thats the advantage for the spurs. so they use it. great teams take advantage of other teams weaknesses.

[shollow4]

I agree with you 100%. My comments were to bamboo.

[onemanrme63]

oh my bad. lol.

[bamboo555]

I agree, play there friggin game. Hack a shaq in the first quarter?? What a low class coach/team.

[shollow4]

It is not low, it is smart. It is not just about Shaq missing freethrows, it is more about disrupting their offense so that they can not break away. Besides, all Shaq has to do is make his free throws.

[bamboo555]

It might be an effective stategy, but it's LOW CLASS. If there're good enough team why do the cheap shots. It justs makes them look bad, and they don't need to do it in the FIRST QUARTER.

[shollow4]

Please explain to my why it is low class. The reason they did it in the first quarter is becasue starting off a game with the right foot is important.

I dont see how people did not talk about this when they did it to Bowen.

[bamboo555]

If you need an explaination and can't figure it out for yourself then my explaination won't help. THEY DID"NT EVEN NEED TO DO IT. IT WAS THE FIRST QUARTER. They wonder why they are the most hated team and then they keep doing cheap shots.

[onemanrme63]

they do it in the first quarter so shaq cant catch a rythm. why wait till the last minute when it will be too late. do it early to get to his head. its not low class its smart. the spurs have a classy team. when was the last time u heard someone say "me" on the spurs. u dont. the spurs are just talented smart and experienced. and all those other teams wait to do the hack a shaq and what happens with them? they get beat. do it early and win.

[bamboo555]

Bowen is know as the dirtiest player in the league(also one if not the best defender), you'd have to have some major blinders on not to recogonize that, and Horry's stint with the Spurs have been by his cheap shot on Steve Nash last year. Coming from the average fans perspective they seem like a dirty team.

[Allistar123]

bamboo they are not the most hated team only sun's fans feel that way because the spurs always beat the suns but anyways um few years ago shaq use to be in a team called the los angels lakers (named after the many lakes in Minnesota) Shaq was know to be a terrible free throw shooter so they would use the tactic called hack a shaq because it rhymes yet they won three champions can you explain this to me and why the suns cant win a series?

[bamboo555]

Sorry can't help you there, I'm NOT a suns fan, you're going off the point(although yes I did know that's where the lakers got their name).

[Allistar123]

okay sorry i assumed your a suns fan but i did hit the point why where the lakers so successful when they got hacked a shaq and why can't the suns win a series when they get hacked a shaq

[onemanrme63]

its not low class. everybody does it to shaq cuz nobody can stop him. i mean u try to stop him without fouling. thats what makes the spurs great cuz theyre smarter than everyone else. ur just hating cuz u probably lost money betting on the suns. lol. and the reason the spurs lost the reg season is cuz the starters dont play alot in the reg season so theyre rested when it comes to the playoffs then they get alot of mins. and nobody else has a complete team like them to do that so they are great

[bamboo555]

Yeah everyones does it when it's nesseccary. No one else does it in the First Quarter. It's not needed and move classless to do it in the first quarter.

[RingKingCube]

its low of the spurs to just go to the hack shaq. Just play the damn game. SA will honestly go anything to win, thats why they are the defending champs

[liuoncyp13]

i admit suns won the season series and maybe they're better than the spurs on the eliminations, but you know when you play the next round you're suppose to step a notch. Playing good consistently will not help if everyone around you is playing at a higher level.

[osubucks4]

alrihg suzmi noob who won the season seris 3_1 o im thinkin suns only reason spurs won last year tim donghaey noob and if ure a spures fan y u looking at suns stuff

[SEIOUSA0]

lol "noob" you play runescape lol newbbbbbb and youtube lets everyone watch we spur fans wanted to see what the phx sisses admit they stink lol duhhhh...... "noob"

[Fibchonok]

this video is so cool..wonder=))))

[suzumiyachan8D]

I wonder when the Suns are going to realize that the Spurs is just a better TEAM. Last year and this year, the Suns keep on saying that they are a better team. That is something the Spurs would NEVER do, saying that they are better than others. They just go out there and let people be the judge. That what make Spurs a classy team.

[guide2california]

cry baby suns need the refs to scratch a " W "...hahaha these losers will be swept off the first round. whats your alibi now that you've got a full and healthy line-up? losers!

[boxingfan86]

talk the talk...just wait

[boxingfan86]

lol !!! GO Lakers!!! fuck Phoenix! Is all about L.A.

[RockyBalboa211]

Hey does new mexico have a nba team, if they did they would be awesome, they would be called the roadrunners, since thats the best animal in the world... GOD BLESS THE SPURS!!!

[RockyBalboa211]

shaq....freethrows....lol.. hilarious!

[Melo15xSTAT1]

well there goes our 55 wins season for nothing!

[81broncoman]

Can the Suns win a championship? There are days when I believe, and others when I have lost all hope. My only consolation to this series is that game 7 is played in PHOENIX.

[randyjsing]

game 7???lol...what game 7?

[rbermea]

I think the Phoenix Suns can still win this series. I believe we can come back from a 0-2 deficit and beat the Spurs by winning four games in a row. I've seen it happen. Let's just believe in them. I think we can do it. If they can come back from a series deficit before, they can absolutely do it again. It's not over.

[Melo15xSTAT1]

Suns need o win these next 2 games or they lose.

GO SUNS!

[hawglifeoo7]

these fools need to get it together

[bigyev]

Speaking of the pattern, both 2 games, suns lead, and then lose that lead, the biggest factor is the mental factor, suns cannnot slow down mentally after the first half because the spurs defintly will not, suns have to go into the second halk as if they are down, I believe if Suns can win the next 2 games, they'll have it in 6, if they lose that 4th game(cuz 100% they aint losing 3rd) then they will lose everything come 6th game, simple as that

[randyjsing]

No more pattern...In game 3 the SUNS NEVER HAD THE LEAD!!!  They got an ass-whoopin'....plain and simple.

[StoneThrowingDevil]

I don't get these comments about the Suns being the better team. When have the Suns won a playoff series against the Spurs?

I understand liking your team the best, but don't fool yourself. The Suns have done nothing to imply that they can even hold the Spurs jock. At least admit the truth:

YOU ARE SCARED THAT IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN. While you HOPE they will win, you know it doesn't look good. Just please stop looking stupid. There is nothing more pathetic than false bravado...

[ShmeeShoo]

To be honest, everyone knows(or should know) by now that the suns are legit. 55wins this season which is awesome, a couple of them against the spurs too. They've got the weapons and i'd say overrall they are about even with the spurs talent wise. But the spurs seem a bit more together, tested and true. Don't deny them atleast that they have a chance at winning it.

[Melo15xSTAT1]

the suns did beat them in the past like 3 times

[www6095]

in the regular season. The regular season in not the playoff. The spurs neverplay too hard in the regular season, they are old and they know it, thats way they play easy in the regular season to play at their best in the playoff. The shaq trade was a mistake, the suns were not a good defensive team and they trade away their best defender. I dont understand the trade

[Melo15xSTAT1]

not the regualr season... it was like a couple of years ago in the playoff.

[StoneThrowingDevil]

Melo you're right. The suns beat the spurs in 2000, WHEN TIM DUNCAN WAS INJURED.

retard

[bandkid13]

This game frustrated me because I love the suns and I KNOW they are capable of a win.

...of THE win.

[beebhoy]

i just hope the refs give the suns a break as of now the spurs are getting the calls (cheating bastards

[randyjsing]

Who's whining??? Looks like you're blaming the Spurs for the incompetence of the officials...that's pretty lame of you, especially since the Spurs just DESTROYED the SUNS in virtually EVERY ASPECT of the game! You can't blame the officials or the Spurs when the Suns can't hit their jumpers OR lay-us...UNLESS you want to blame the Spurs defense...

Stop whining and man-up!

[beebhoy]

again! who are you and stop using my user name fool!

[Ari721]

i KNOW the suns are gonna take both at home, making game 5 up for grabs. It's on in the valley of the Sun

[stinger909]

Dont you mean take all three? ;)

[Ari721]

Well, I mean the next two, Friday and Sunday - then the series gets on the right track, The SUNS track, again.

[HCDrulez]

go SPURS go... SUNS Sucks! Suns have LUck of Team play/ team work... boo... ,,I,, SUNS!.. SPURS number 1...

[Melo15xSTAT1]

they just need to learn that...just because your winning by double digits it doesn't mean u can take any shot u want and they need to learn how to keep the lead.

GO SUNS!

[19Sammy]

this is why i hate suns...they have never won in franchise and havent proved anything EVER...and yet they think they are hot shit...when all they are is SHIT

[falconhead67]

fag

[wannajive]

dammit the suns really are the better team but that 3rd quarter killed them

[ramonfrdeoliveira]

cmon suns!!!

y'all got diz jus step yo defense up a little !!!

[grantbuckley19]

suns will never beat the spurs in the playoffs, just not good enough

[Yaterde]

check out the ratings if phoenix keep watching other teams play phoenix won't win the nba is fake

[GotToPractice]

There always seem to be an excuse...

[Jangaboo]

what else can you say? An excuse = reason so and they are asked questions so what else can they say man? They gotta say something....they can't just say they suck....

[sjbrj10]

"Stoude-cryer" the world Champion Spurs played Great defence. Shots do fall just not for the Suns .Theres only one Suns team and there losers.The Spurs can't be stopped.Nash a great player but more excuses.Raja Bell he said it "I can't gaurd that" . "Good play calls by Pop" who's you Daddy ? thats right the Spurs coach . Go Spurs Go!!!

[Melo15xSTAT1]

your so lame "Stoud-cryer"?!?!?!

[MoiDeCoentro]

I'd like Suns to win, but I really don't see they doing it... They lack mental strength

[Jangaboo]

and a good coach

[Guitar126]

the suns really need a title. go suns!
