The Suns have cut it to 9. They are clawing their way back into this game.

I'm pulling for the Suns to win this series.

I love the way they've played in these first three games + it would be great to see them finally get over the hump and eliminate San Antonio.

This is the defense we've seen from San Antonio over the first two games.

This is a vulnerable defensive team ... below average defensive team against a team like the Suns (perimeter orientated big creating a four out one in offense + force Duncan to guard a scoring threat plus athlete like Amare + pick and roll play + transition play).

Phoenix's bench has been a difference maker in this series

31 points on 12-15 shooting from Barbosa and Dragic in a combined 28 minutes

Those two have been killing San Antonio

Spurs are in big trouble here ... man, they are consistently a team crammed with talent that just can never seem to get over the hump of a championship. It's like they're a completely different team in the post-season.

Oh no. I can't watch this. The Spurs slipping into the 0-3 abyss. I want to badly cover my eyes and peek through my fingers at the game but since it didn't make the Cs game better I'm trying not to.

Wow, 20 points in 8 minutes from Dragic in the fourth quarter in close game versus the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs ... wow!

Almost makes me feel better about our own team full of past-prime veterans losing tonight....

Oh, that was a dagger from Frye. Excellent job by Grant Hill to create that shot.

I love seeing Phoenix going small and attacking Duncan's defense.

Yeah almost  :-\ At least the Spurs showed up. Just unfortunate they got hurt by the good old bench player goes off for career night scenario.

Is that worse than MVP and his friends totally dismantle the local team night scenario?

I guess in some ways it is.  At least the Celtics still have hope.  The Spurs are unquestionably done (though if you ask me so are the C's).

Dragic opened a lot of eyes tonight ... and most likely increased his value for the future. What an awesome guy to have coming off the bench for Stevie ... and most likely his replacement when Nash retires.

LOL. Definitely worse. Bench player goes off never fails.  I feel so bad for the Spurs since they were blindsided even worse than usual tonight. Dragic didn't go off till the 4th and it didn't give them much time to adjust. They were facing an uphill climb and they tried which is more than I can say for us. We basically decided to leave our grassy knoll and try to conquer Everest.
