NBA Playoff Triple Threat: Alive in Dallas, Dead in Phoenix
READ MORE:
Every day during the NBA playoffs, the Triple Threat will break down the latest action as we get closer to awarding the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

San Antonio 115, Phoenix 99 This was supposed to be the best of the first round matchups. Now, it's a blowout that is all but over with San Antonio up 3-0. The Spurs took a 14 point lead after the first quarter, and by the fourth the Suns could only get as close as 13. Abusing Phoenix on the pick and roll, Tony Parker scored a career high 41 points. I called the Spurs cockroaches before the playoffs, but the way they've played this series is anything but cockroach-like.

Dallas 97, New Orleans 87 It was a struggle all night for New Orleans, and thus once again they fail to beat the Mavericks in Dallas. Chris Paul missed 13 of his first 16 shots, and David West missed 11 of his first 14, obviously not a recipe for success. Props to Jason Terry. He replaced Jerry Stackhouse in the starting lineup and scored 22 points, and took over primary Chris Paul defensive duties. The Hornets lead the series 2-1.

Philadelphia 95, Detroit 75 20-20-15-20. Those were the Pistons' scores per quarter. Thanks to that, the thought process on the Sixers went from "good for them" to "hey, they can win this thing." Sam Dalembert was the catalyst with 22 points and 16 rebounds. Philly leads the series 2-1, and one must wonder what's wrong with the Pistons.

So, i guess it's almost time for a beer. Spurs winning championships leads to people drinking their misery away... right?? HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah.

2003 Spurs > Suns = title

2005 Spurs > Suns = title

2007 Spurs > Suns = title

2008 Spurs > Suns* = title?*   *-Spurs up 3-0.

I see you're gonna be a sore winner once again these playoffs. Some things never change.

You forgot the key part... 2008 isn't an odd year.

Gotta applaud Steve Kerr, seeing as Shaq was obviously the key to beat the Spurs and making it to the NBA finals.

what do you expect when there are lovely fans such as yourself to bash my favorite team, and when they rub it in everyone's face because you hate them, you gotta love it.

They tried, but making a blockbuster* trade, doesn't always guarantee a championship. The Spurs are just outplaying them...

Because every time one of your teams is in the playoffs, you act this way, laughing at the losers and in general being an arrogant jerk. It happened in last year's NBA playoffs, last year's baseball playoffs, and last year's NFL playoffs, and it looks like it's happening again, and yes, it's a reason why people don't like the Spurs. You reap what you sow.

i'm not laughing at everyone. I laugh at the other people that talk all the smack and try to lay it down on the table. Well friend, they laid down a pair, and i've got the flush. That's all it is. I'm not dissing anyone or at least directly, calling people names, calling fans queers or something, or retards, or idiots, as others call me for my opinions/predictions. Well, sorry my predictions are moderately accurate, and my teams are in good standards at the present time.

 

By the way... reap what you sow? Well, it's the opposite, friend. People dog me just for being a Spurs fan, talk smack at me, and bash my teams. Reap what you sow. They're winning.

And was that edit "arrogant jerk" from A-hole? Curious. I'm not the biggest and only one on this site. I just defend my self and what i believe in, and the teams i root for. I'm human, ok? I bleed just like everyone else. I'm going to die just like everyone else. I am imperfect just like everyone else. I can be stupid and say ridiculous things, sometimes, like everyone else.

 

Sorry for being human! =)

I didn't rub anything to anyone before this series, and everyone wanted Spurs' blood, talking mess, and calling all Spurs fans faggots and queers, and no one says a damn thing. The only thing i was really defending everyone with, is that the defending NBA Champions would not bow down so easily, with peeps calling it Suns in 4 or 5. I never banged anyone or called them any names.

 

Me, i say a sentence, or reply with: "Hahahaha, Suns fans, that's what you get for calling us gay, queers, tlaking all that trash" along with Shaq blabbing and the Suns (except for Nash and D'Antoni who are great people who i respect); i get my head bit off. Bullcrap. And not fair. So i have to bend over and take all the abuse because i am a Spurs fan. That's not fair. Yeah, i reap what i sow. I'm a Spurs fan so i deserve to be killed.

 

So thumbs up everyone! Maybe Texas will recede, but be just a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico. I'll move back, and the Spurs and the fans will be isolated. So we can keep the winning to ourselves. How does that sound? Sorry Mavs, sorry, Rockets, you got to come too.

Not that it's any of your business, but the edit was to add the reap what you sow comment.

Obviously, celebrating winning is not a problem. That's everyone's right, and you can celebrate anyway you want. However, the rest of us don't have to like it, the histrionics, the arrogance, etc. Yes, I know this is a rivalry, but again this is not the first time we've seen this from you. I remember last fall Red Sox fans were saying you were going overboard. Again, you can do what you want, but we can also react how we want.
