Yes, just like the other playoff games where Marion was just a huge factor against the Spurs...Quote:

that shot did go back to that one duncan hit in 04. duncan is the best pf all time. it owuld seem that being clutch is in his bag of tricks also.
i think phx is fine for the series. they were the better team today, they just didnt close the door. they can still split phx, which is all they needed to do.
series dont start til a road team wins. even if phx loses game 2, they can still hold serve. everything i saw today said they were the better team.
without shaq nash balls up into the fatal position and sucks his thumb for the next two days. with shaq phx probably spends the next 48 hours at pool halls getting into 'roadhouse' style bar fights, show up for game 2 15 minutes into the game, hungover, and sitll win by 15.
phx aint gonna be denied this series.
Marion defends the opponent's best player in crunch time, regardless of position.
They certainly wouldn't have gotten the friendly escort to the basket that Snaq was giving them.
No worries, though, I'll take 2OTs for the Spurs anyday to help wear them down for their round 2 departure.
Tim was so Tim in that game.
without shaq phx is the same old little buddy that gets slapped around, wedgied, bukdowed, and ultimately eliminated by a much tougher san an team.
marion is a good player but that phx team was flawed to the core. he may have helped situationally but without shaq that team would not be a legit contender.
btw, anyone see the bizarre twin tower parralel? the 2008 suns are a little similar to the 2003 spurs. ironic, because shaq is david robinson, amare is tim duncan, and tim duncan is shaq. history does repeat itself.
the nba commercials are phenomenal this year. the best thing, so far, probably is that the nba has yet to release the nba theme song (as faras i know). im really dreading when that is done. couldnt be worse than last year, though. maybe stern shocks the world and has the knew gnarles barkely song. how cool would that be. no oway stern ever gives a lttle love to the non baby boomer white man, though.
but the 2 faces are cool, jordan has a new good one out, and i like shaq the jockey one. pretty amusing idea, shaq being a jockey.
