Well I was expecting SA to come out of the West but I love Steve Nash and if it means he can have a chance at a ring at the Spurs expense, well so be it. Duncan and the Spurs have proven themselves over and over again. Let Nashty have his turn. God damn these Suns are deep. Gentry's done a damn good job at developing his bench, something D'Antoni never did. Not to mention preaching a true defensive mindset while not losing sight of the offense ala Terry Porter.
After all the years of frustration the Spurs have put me through, this right here feels damn good. Great win, that was Championship quality basketball the Suns played right there.
Wow, what an epic game. Suns FINALLY get their revenge and really it took Alvin Gentry to make it happen. I wonder how the Suns would have done in years past if they had Gentry instead of D'antoni as Gentry would have developed the bench and instilled D.
Dragic was a ****ing monster and like others have said I can't recall the time a bench player just completely took over a game in the fourth quarter like this at least to this extent. I really want to see Dragic get more minutes against the Lakers playing alongside Nash because he can take full advantage of Fisher's bad defense.
The craziest part about this is the Suns were down 18 and ended up winning by 14. That is a freaking 32 point swing and this was done on the road something you really couldn't see the Suns doing in years past, it was usually them giving up the big leads.
Nice to see nash to finally win a series against the spurs. I hope the suns win the championship since the spurs most likely will lose this series. One thing is for sure LA will have matchup problems in d guard position and i hope that will be enough to dethrone LA.
I wonder what the nash haters will say once he win a championship. Will he then get credit for the 2 mvps that he's got?
Dragic was awesome tonight. That trade the spurs made certainly doesnt look that lopsided anymore.
Goran Dragic was feeling it in Game 3. According to Elias Sports Bureau, his 26 points in 17 minutes of action is the most points scored by a player who played fewer than 20 minutes in a postseason game in the shot-clock era

I wanna get a stat of what players have scored 23 or more pts in the 4th quarter of a playoff game.

Let's not get over our heads now guys. Lebron against Detroit... Reggie Miller against the Knicks... This was a historic performance but not THE best.
Re: May 7, Round 2, Game 3, Suns at Spurs
But I'm slightly disappointed, I was expecting this to be the best matchup in round 2.
