Suns Just Can't Beat the Pesky, Flopping Spurs

The Suns, even with the "Diesel" on there team, just can't seem to get past the annoying play of the San Antonio Spurs.

What is it with these Spurs anyway? Almost all of their scoring comes from the 3 stars of Genobli, Parker and Duncan. You would think the Suns could devise a way to stop these 3 from getting so many points.

But, no matter what the Suns try, the end result is always the same. The ball seems to roll the way of the Spurs. The calls all seem to be made for the Spurs. The refs seem to favor the Spurs. And even more importantly, the Suns just can't seem to get up enough mojo to beat them no matter what.

So come on now Big Cactus. Show us what you have left. Or is the Diesel Truck on Empty?

Suns Can't Catch A Break

The Phoenix Suns couldn't catch a break during the series with the Spurs. In what has become all too typical, the NBA and it's officials have impacted another series in an unfair way.

The calls just don't seem to go the Sun's way no matter what. Tim Duncan, while playing excellent, also benefitted from the referee's favoritism. Bruce Bowen got away with kneeing Steve Nash in the groin among other dubious plays.

To make things even worse, the Suns were penalized and the Spurs rewarded for the antics of Robert Hory when he took out Steve Nash. The Sun's lost Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw for the critical game 5 in Phoenix while the Spurs only lost Hory.

For the NBA to suspend two guys for taking a couple of steps off of the bench and then turning around to sit down again shows that the NBA is clueless.

This is the kind of stuff that makes you wonder why you bother watching anyway.

Suns Vs Spurs = Tough Matchup

The Phoenix Suns showed some serious character by defeating the NBA's "dirtiest" team, the San Antonio Spurs last night 104 to 98 in San Antonio. The Suns trailed most of the game and once again couldn't seem to get a break with the officiating team on the floor. This has become a common occurance as players such as Tim Duncan are allowed to lower their shoulder and over power opponents without getting called for the charge.

The amazing thing is that the Suns were able to fight through this adversity and prevail in a tough, highly physical game that normally would have gone to the Spurs.

I am looking forward to the next game in Phoenix and hoping the Suns get some calls to go their way for a change.
