Official Spurs-Suns 2008 Playoffs Thread

Great game, Phoenix. Now THAT was a true Playoff Performance -- y'all fought like hell.

Interestingly enough not nary a one of these guys got it right ('specially the top row):

Oy! So many Suns mistakes in the last two minutes!

I was all set for overtime! I'd just opened a can of Tecate.

I've been waiting for a championship title since '89. There was Tom Chambers and KJ, Hornacek....then Barkley, Cedric Ceballos, the Biig O, John Barry Carol....we've gone through more personnel changes than newborn baby's diapers...always with the organization hinting that they want a championship this season, rather than build a championship team around key players. That's what turns me off. I love the Suns as a team, but the organization has really squandered so many opportunities to have a championship caliber team. Hats of to Pops and the Spurs organization for putting together consistently championship caliber teams throughout the years. The Suns organization could learn a thing or two from them.

The Diamondbacks are doing really well!

Yes, it was even when it was 2 minutes to go. Even 'Hack A Shaq' was not working for the Spurs in the 4th quarter. Bad luck for Suns. Now Lakers-Spurs match up will be entertaining.

Well it didn't take long...

Rumors abound that AJ may be going to Phoenix...

What a shame. Steve Kerr's head should be the one on a platter....not D'Antoni. He's a classy coach...he'll find another team and he'll take them to a championship...perhaps beating the Suns...sweet justice.

Well no official announcement yet on D'Antoni or Avery -- so it's still just rumors.

I pity any coach who has to work with that jock wannabe owner in Dallas hanging all over him 24-7, acting like a fricken groupie around the bench, slapping the players on the butt, sneaking in the locker room for every team meeting, trying to micro-manage every dayum thing....

Yes, that's really weird, isn't it? It's like he's indulging some sort of adolescent fantasy.

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

It's official -- AJ has been fired.

The only person Cuban needs to fire is himself.

Hey, we'll take AJ! I've always liked D'Antoni, but perhaps a change of scenery and front office would do him good. And if AJ can stand working for that arsewipe Cuban, Phoenix would have to be an improvement!

This is what my husband had to say about Dallas (via Messenger):

I question the concept of plural "mavericks"

you can t have a team of mavericks as their maverickness would be become the norm

you can have a maverick team (amongst other teams) but you would have to refer to them as the Dallas maverick

I think this is what holding them back

I think the other shoe's about to drop.

I think AJ might be someone Phoenix would pursue -- he played with Steve Kerr when they were both Spurs, and Kerr is very appreciative of alumni from the Popovich Insitute of Defense-ology.

And what about the possibility of Mike going to the Mavs ? Could be an interesting chain of events...
