Here we go again

THIS WAS A FOUL ON STEVE NASH?

Well once again the Suns are facing elimination. It seems they only can play well when their backs are against the wall. Or when the officials aren't wearing Dallas jerseys.

Game 5 was a good game until about midway through the fourth quarter. That's when Danny Crawford, Jack Neis, and Kenny Mauer decided to take this game into their own hands. On paper it looked like Dirk scored 50 points and led Dallas to a 16 point victory. On paper it looked like the Suns blew a 7 point third quarter lead. Games aren't played on paper. Let's look at what REALLY happened.

Suns up by 7. Shawn Marion is called for a phantom foul which happened to be his fourth. He goes to the bench...Dallas goes on a 10-0 run. Then things really got bad for the Suns. Dallas had a one point lead and Raja Bell was kicked by no talent Josh Howard, and Raja gets a technical foul. Mike D'Antoni voiced his displeasure with the call and was T'd up as well. From that point on, Dirk was allowed to do anything he wanted and whenever he missed a shot a foul was called on the Suns. It was a fuckshow.

How does the softest player in the HISTORY of the NBA get to the line 18 times? Dirk = 18 free throw attempts. The Suns TEAM = 20 free throw attempts. Suns lose by 16...hmmm...

Dirk does nothing but take fadeaway jumpers and three pointers. How the hell does a jump shooter get to the line 18 times? Insane.

Danny Crawford should turn in his whistle after that performance.

Well it's obvious that you're not really a basketball fan, only a phoenix fan. If you were really a basketball fan, you would be able to recognize beyond your own bias that other people besides your own team has talent. I told you from the beginning that we would take this series in 6... and now were headed to the finals.
Nash has gobs of talent, Raja is fairly good, Marion is great, and everyone else is good.
For you to sit here and call Joshua Howard talentless, and call Dirk Nowitzki soft is to not be able to see beyond your own ignorance.
I told you from the beginning that MD is a worthless coach with no real talent except to surround himself with high scorers, and tell them to score the ball???? Did you really think that you will win a championship with that mentallity? Mavs would never be in this position if they would've continued on the same road phoenix seems to be on.
To call this game, or any game as a fault of the refs really shows the short sided nature of your enthusiasm..... I had to blink twice because after reading your comments I thought I was back in the SA series.
Bottom line, we won, were better, and now were on to the championship. I guarantee that unless you guys change your strategy.. your never going to win anything.
GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
