This was probably the worst Suns game of the season. Less said and written about this game the better. The Suns went to San Antonio and nobody thought it was gonna be easy. But I was expecting a better effort. With Joe Johnson coming back, there was some hope for the Suns fan. I was very curious to see what happens with him in the lineup. The results were not encouraging. He seemed to have a decent game, but the Suns seem to face the same problems as games 1 and 2, only worse. The Spurs played even better at home and were clearly superior to the Suns in all phases of the game. The only positive thing was Amare ending up with respectable numbers with some spirited performance in the 4-th quarter. But it was too little too late. The Suns cut it to 6 late in the final quarter, but for the most part this game was a blowout. All you need to know is Nash had 3 assists and 6 turnovers ! Ugly numbers.
It's sad that the Suns can't give the World a better series for the conference finals. Now it's all about pride. The Suns better win game 4 and avoid getting swept. I'll just leave it at that for now.
