After one of the more epic games that I have in recent memory, the Suns and Spurs could not have had different reactions. Timmy and Pop basically saying that it was an incredible game and praising the Suns for how incredible of a team that they are. The Suns went the other way...focusing again on how they somehow got screwed.
Says Amare on Timmy's 3 to force double OT..."Happy birthday to him." What is in the BSB is his problem? Why can't he take some of the blame for himself...last time I checked, Tim Duncan was an NBA player, and one of the better ones at that. And generally, if you leave an NBA player totally open, like shoot around open, he is going to hit a shot from a step behind the 3 point line, at least 35% of the time. And its not like we are talking Shaq here...Timmy does have a game outside of 4 feet.
But Amare can't just say, well, it was a great game, and down the stretch, they executed, we didn't. Which is frustrating because that is EXACTLY what happened. Why is that so difficult?
The Suns will not beat the Spurs until they stop whining and crying about things that happened years past, and complaining after every game like there is some sort of conspiracy out to get them, and just focus on the task at hand. Winning a game.
How about Amare acts like a man and says, well we were up 16, up 9, up 5, and we LET THEM HAVE IT! That was the Suns game to win...and you want to know why they didn't? Because they are so focused on revenge that they forget they have a game to play. I can not wait for this series to be over just so that I don't have to listen to Amare's crap anymore.
I really feel sorry for Steve Nash, I really do. He is out there playing his butt of and fighting and not saying stupid crap after the games, he deserves better than Amare. And that goes for Coach D'Antoni too...after the game his quote was something to the effect of..."If we play 6 more like this, someone's getting their monies worth." That is how you handle that.
Nash basically said that they had the game in hand a number of times, and that they weren't good enough or disciplined enough to win it. That is the proper answer.
Shaq, for all the great things he says, basically just said that they "let them have this one." Well first of all, though true...he was using it as an excuse...blaming everyone but himself and his teammates. I am sorry, but your Coach and Nash are right...this was yours to win, and you lost...and this isn't the time of year to be doing that.
