It's true. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of the Spurs. They're up there rearranging furniture and there's nothing I can do about it.
I had a fucking nightmare last night that involved me trying to defend Manu Ginobli. If you guessed it ended with him getting to his left and laying it up over my helpless, outstretched arm, you'd be correct.
That's how bad it is for me.
Last night's third quarter was like the scene of Donny's death in The Big Lebowski. Think of me as the Dude, the Spurs as the nihilists and my brain as the Dude's car. "Well, they finally did it, man. They killed my fucking car."
What I realized is when the Suns play the Spurs, I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the Spurs to kill my car. In the past I was confident the Suns would bounce back and do their thing.
Now I'm not so sure. The Spurs are in my head and right now, I don't see the Suns biting off ears or dishing out a boombox beatdown in the near future.
note: my plan was to write about the Suns believing they're the better team and their off the charts confidence level despite being down 2-0, but the Suns' third quarter performance must have infected my computer and as such, I was not able to. Scott Bordow of the East Valley Trib beat me to it this morning.

so much for the Creedence tapes....
"Its the system, not the players" - Papa John
I'm starting to agree with that statement. Coach D takes too long to make adjustments. No way our talent is that much worse than the Spurs. I don't think having Marion though would've changed either outcome, as Bordow suggested. The Spurs dominated us with Marion and now with Shaq.
The Suns still have a chance though. They can win two home games and bring the series back even. But Coach D is going to need to figure out how to defend the pick and roll.

this quote means coach d is gone if they lose.
ehardIt's the coach, period!!!!!!! Thanks for being quoted so eloquently by the two esteemed posters.
As for the blogger, who knows who's reading, so use your immense vocabulary talent with a better descriptive adverb...or is that adjective.
Papa John / "It's not the players, it's the system"
coach d brought 4 great years of b-ball to the valley. he brought excitment back to the nba. he got me to fall in love with a suns team that played basketball different from everyone else in the nba. he can draw up a play out of a timeout like no other coach, but his teams always lacks "the fire down below" to quote bob segar. they can be unstopable one game and flat the next. his refusing to play the bench at all this year will cost him his job. i'm saying skinner is the answer to the suns problems, but he would help keep the starters rested. he got the gm title taken from him and the new gm will replace him with "one of his guys". that's just how is works. plus popovich out coaches him every year in the playoffs.
