Suns Lose, Spurs Advance to WCF

While you do have to give credit to the Spurs for their dominance in Game 6, its EXTREMELY HARD not to think of how the series would've been if Amare & Diaw played in a home, Game 5. As it was, the Suns only lost by 3 points. If those two players...

Bruce Bowen Cheap Player... NBA Should Suspend Immediately

Suns' Defense (Yes, Defense) Leads to Game 2 Victory

Spurs take Game 1 from Suns... Leave Nash bruised & bloodied

Not a bad start to what looks to be a great series - Suns vs Spurs - round 1 goes to San Antonio 111-106, but just barely. Had Steve Nash not been removed from the game because of the excess blood, the Suns would've stood a much higher chance of winning...

San Antonio / Detroit NBA Finals, Game 2 recap
