Ridiculous. And every writer/sports commentator/analyst who says Dantonio should be fired is a MORON. The guy got fucked in 2006-07. THEY WERE BETTER THAN THE SPURS LAST YEAR. THEY GOT FUCKED.

If they beat the Spurs last year, they are the champions.

If you don't know what there "competitive advantage" was, then you don't know basketball.

Why don't you explain it to me smart guy...since you obviously haven't proven anything, but the fact you don't watch games, but rather listen to random chatter..

I proved everything after the Suns just got eliminated in 5 games.

and what random chatter? I've stated it all along without any begging, borrowing or stealing from any pundits.

Competitve advantage of getting up and down the court with one of the most athletic line-ups in the league.

Inserting Shaq and putting him at the 5 instead of a more athletic, quicker team with Amare at the 5 ruined their advantage.

They were better than the Spurs last year and got screwed in 7 games.

They were worse this year with Shaq, and got beat in 5 games.

How am I the idiot?

Amare is a better player at 4.... a much better player.

Steve Nash was a different player last year, he made clutch shots and didn't turn the ball over.

S.A. didn't play pu$$y ball and foul Shaq off the ball the whole series last year. Take that out of play, and the Suns are still playing basketball.

That getting up and down the court game doesn't work in the playoffs (check out the champions of the past) against expirienced teams. You have to play ball, and half court when the game is on the line.

As a Suns fan and watching all 82 of their games this year, plus playoffs.... and the past 10 years. It comes down to Steve Nash not Shaq.

Was the hack-a-Shaq created in this series?

What has been the M.O. on Shaq since he entered the league? Isn't that something to question before trading for him?

You say that getting up and down game doesn't work in the plaoffs, yet it got them the Western Conference championship last year and had the Spurs beat until Amare was suspended and the Suns got robbed in a very poorly officiated game.

That up and down game did work, and it should have earned them a championship last year. They traded away one of the major pieces to the best team in the league last year.

Nash certainly struggled tonight, but this isn't the type of team Nash should be leading. He should be wheeling and dealing with the quickest front-court in the game with Marion and Amare. Not playing half-court with Shaq sitting in the middle.

And again, Shaq brought everything he was suppossed too. Rebounding, defense, and terrible free-throw shooting.

It is what it is.

On a side note: The vbookie raped BB73 in the NBA playoffs so far.

No shit - who's making these damn bets anyway? I dropped over v125 million because Atlanta won at least 2 games and Phoenix didn't. :!

Somewhere Piney is smiling.

Hopefully this ends the love affair with the most overrated punk in the league. Nash gives up almost as many points iwth his horrid defense as he gives his team with his pretty passes. And his flop last year enraged his bench directly contributing to the suspensions and eventual defeat by the Spurs.

Good riddance Nash. There is a reason you will never even come close to getting a ring.
