No, but I do expect more than 4th-grade behavior.
I didn't use any more "4th-grade behavior" than you. I didn't know saying donkey instead of ass qualified for 4th-grade behavior. I hope you're not referring to me saying "OMFG WE LOST OMG!!" because I was mocking you when I said that. But I think we can agree on one thing, this is one hell of a series!!

No, I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to the in-your-face-we-tied-the-series-up stuff.
...and yes, it is one hell of a series.

I can't believe the Suns lost.  they definitely are better than a 4-1 team... eh well, next year. It was fun to have a team in Arizona actually worth a damn.

Yeah, they are definitely a better team than the Spurs made them look. San Antonio is a buzzsaw right now.

The Suns are a good team, that's for sure. But putting them up against the best D in the league, coupled with Manu, and Tony scoring like mad -- not to mention Duncan -- and its pretty difficult. I still believe the only reason they won that one game was because 3 of the Spurs had off nights. Put that with the fact that the Spurs were shooting 3-pts shots more often than they generally do and that explains the loss. (Then again, they only lost by a few pts...) The Suns simply don't have the team to beat the Spurs. Now, will I get my wish of Pistons vs Spurs in the finals?!? I can only hope.  E1

Like said before in one of my posts, Suns were not going to beat the Spurs.  Not enough depth on that team. The Heat-Pistons series is starting to get interesting though. But once again, it won't matter because neither team can beat the spurs. If the pistons win the series their offence doesn't stand a chance against the spurs defence and if the Heat win they don't have enough talent overall to overcome the m.

If Marion showed up for even one game, that would have been a great series. Playing 2 on 9 for a 2 games and 3 on 9 for 3 games didn't work in the Suns favor.
Safe prediction: Amare Stoudamire will be the best player in the league over the next 5 years. As good as some of the guys are right now, that guy is a freak. Well, maybe second best next to Lebron.

Ummmmm ever hear of two guys named Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. He will NEVER be as good as them. Garnett played on one leg the whole season and still put up 20+ points 13+ rebounds 5+ assists and almost 2 steals and blocks per game AND is a first team defender. And Duncan is just too fundamentally good for Amare to be able to pass up with athletisism (spelling sucks I know). Amare will never be as good of a rebounder as those two or be able to hit the outside shot as good as them either. Also he will never be as good of a passer as KG, who is the best passing big man in the game. Also, both TD and KG make the people around them better. Amare needed Nash to get to the level he was this past year. Don't get me wrong, Amare is a good if not great player but he is not the second best player. Another thing to look at is KG almost NEVER misses a game, he played a few years ago with a broken finger on his shooting hand, had knee problems this past year and you never heard him say a word on it. Most of the time it didn't come out until after the season was done. Top 5 in the league right now is KG, TD, Shaq, Lebron, Kidd (but he is only going down).
