Even the Phoenix newspaper gives the Spurs their due for eliminating
the Suns
http://snipurl.com/1l617
"The Spurs still have the Suns' number. Phoenix is still nothing more
than a great, entertaining regular season team. Playoff basketball is a
different brand of ball geared for the physical and clutch...Duncan vs.
Stoudemire: Stoudemire was brilliant offensively but can't touch Duncan
defensively. Nine blocks in a big game? Ridiculously good. He hit 11 of
19 shots, including another killer 10-foot jump hook of a dagger. Plus,
hate the interpretation or not, Stoudemire did do something that got
him suspended in a game that shifted the balance of the series and
negated the Suns' regular season work to host a Game 7."
Also,
"The game got away from Phoenix in the third quarter when Steve Nash
had only one assist and did not score."
"the Suns fell to 6-15 against San Antonio since Steve Nash's return to
Phoenix"
