He said it was to prevent upsets.

Suns should be getting mad technicals for FLOPPING!!!

Wow what a game. What took the refs so long to figure out that Nash was bleeding everywhere? For the first couple of minutes after the head butt they let him play then after a while they started making him clean it up on the bench. That was kind of odd. Oh well, GO SPURS!

Do you hate the Suns that much that you'd sink down to the level of rooting for the Spurs?

I just find it hilarious when D'antoni loses it, that dude has some anger issues. 😆

Same here! 😄

That guy was really giving Bob Delani a shouting. He should have been T'd up.

He's gets so fired up that his cheeks turn red and his face contorts so much that I can't see his eyes. Scary!

I'm expecting atleast 6 games like that. Tough break for the Suns to have Nash out for those 3 or 4 possesions under a minute. But even with him out the Suns had there chances and couldn't capatalize. Barbosa fouling with 32 seconds when they didn't have to, Bell missing a key 3, and Amare blowing some inside oppurtinities. D'antoine did throw a fit over that Parker foul, I didn't like that call either though, and people b!tch about the Suns flopping. Nevertheless the Spurs stole game 1 with there D, it's going to be interesting to see if Phoenix can step up the tempo for Game 2.

What's wrong with the Spurs?

That's the Suns D, it's what they do. Instead of actually playing real D like the Pistons, Rockets or Spurs, they would rather flop flop and then after they do that...they do some more floppin. Hopefully the officials wont fall for it in this series but it is highly likely they will.

Riiiiiight.

Nothing really, I was kidding. It's just, ugh, I hate that team. If there's one team out there to ruin your team's aspirations at the most crucial times, it's the Spurs. They're analogous to the "little miss perfect" that's in your school. She always outwits you, and when you finally think you've got her trapped, she finds a way to slip by and outwit you again. That's the Spurs to me.

They beat the Nets in the finals (The 2nd time being the most heartbreaking).

They beat the Pistons and prevented the repeat (Pistons were my second team until Ben left).

I wanted Denver to advance at least to the 2nd round once, and 2 out of 3 years, SA beats them 4-1 after Denver wins the first game both times.

And so on.....

Oh yeah, and also they've won the title every other year since the Lakers 3, so it's time to break the streak.

Go Suns!

maybe the suns will hire a cutman to keep on the bench for now on.

Nash should have just gone to the locker room. They should have realized sooner that the cut was too deep for weak bandagesto handle.

MVP:???? ??????

Why do people get so mad when players flop? Players are taught to do it. There just trying to get a call. It's how you sell a charge. You fall to make it look worse then it really was. It's called being competitive and trying to win. It's not cheating or anything. IMO.

I want the Suns to win, because if GS beats the Jazz, they have a way better chance to beat the Suns then the Spurs.

Yeah, if you hate flopping, then you'll hate the Nets. Our guys are trained to flop, moreso than the Suns. And flopping is the only reason why Jason Collins is still in this league. God damn it. 😒

The spurs are the only laker rivals I respect. They are a classy team that put team concept before flashy individualism. Not to mention their players are humble and their coach is highly respectable.
