What the two OT's tell me is that the Suns defensive abiltiy at the
end of quarters and games is exactly the same as it has been in years
past.

The Spurs were really beating themselves in the first half and the
Suns never really took advantage of the turnovers, it wasn't their
spectacular defense. As for Timmy's 3, sure it was lucky, but they
left him wide open and they paid for it.

As for replacing Horry, sure the guy is done and if you didn't notice
he didn't play in the game. As for the your comment earlier about
big time players, give Parker and Ginobili some love, Parker played
fantastic in the second half and Manu hit the game winner!

I think game 1 tells us more about the Suns inability to close out
big games, than it does about the Spurs!
