Spurs vs Suns 2005-01-21

[@Pewpewpew6969]

That nostalgia when you go back and watch two of the best teams play from 05. I miss not knowing who was going to be in finals. I miss the level of competition from no. 1 seed all the way down . This era is my favorite ( sorry mj and the 90s). We had Bron, Nash, Shaq, Kobe, Melo,D Wade, Dirk, Duncan, T Mac, Jason Kidd, A.I., VC and Yao just to name a few. You could argue among this era played at least 3 if not 4 top 10 players of all time in Kobe, Bron, Duncan and Shaq. Now it's like who you got? Warriors or Rockets? Cavs or Celtics? Super teams taking away the best part of basketball. Competition. Missing the good ol days....

[@undertakerblaise256]

Matt Robinson stop it, theres been parity in the league before. Like how lebron ruled the east, mj ruled the 90s. Stfu

[@VicRattlehead1980]

@@undertakerblaise256 He ruled the east until he decided to go to the west too. Your reply didn't age well.

[@albertdiaz9127]

Amare flexing doing all those pushups. take the L dude.

As soon as they showed that Q Rich throwing the ball in the hoop at 5:55, I remembered that I saw this game. Lol

[@raulsalazar6711]

ever since the spurs dismantled the suns Stoudemire went down the tubes and faded fast.

[@JayELR7]

The Spurs didn’t ‘dismantle’ the suns. Someone gave Robert Horry the green light to take Nash out - very blatantly and intentionally- at a time when Amare was on the bench - w/other necessary Suns players- they were going to leave the bench when this happened and they got suspended- Nash out- best teams top players suspended.. Gee who won? Lol. David Stern had an agenda against Nash. Over leading a players rebellion against the synthetic basketball. This cost Stern, the league money on contract kickbacks. The commissioner’s office was going to let the spurs win.. no matter what. The Spurs could play w/out Horry - the Suns could not play an injured Nash and suspended players. Robert Horry had never done anything of this nature In his career. He had a respectable career up to this point… He was told to do this. Amare lost motivation. And when Amare did not have Steve Nash and the Mike D’Antoni offense- He did not play run and gun - pick and roll first option basketball on other teams and he lost motivation

[@greenderp]

@@JayELR7 horry didnt make nash flop too hard into the scorers table and hurt himself. and didnt stern let nash win b2b mvps? lol wtf you on.

Ginobli!!!!!!

steve nash,joe johnson,shawn marion,amare stoudemire

[@alansnow1129]

Wish we kept Marion and stoudamire their whole career and NASh too

[@What-kw6ox]

Pound for pound Nash was the best player and best team player on the court. He was the true point God!

[@alansnow1129]

He was amazing. Too bad our bench wasn’t too deep and coach didn’t play enough of the bench in playoffs

[@Sunsbasketballfan]

hell ya man miss those days, I'm very fortunate to have gotten to see that team play growing up although my first suns game was probablly in like 2007 but still around the same time

[@Al-zg4ml]

21:15 damn, miss young amare

[@jeebs9]

It's more funnier that Duncan comes back and gets a and1 the fundamental way. I miss these guys

these guys were a healthy joe johnson away from going to the chip. damn you jerry stackhouse EDIT: I would like to apologize ahead of time... I know reliving these glory days will tough for you in the future knowing your organization will be lottery bound indefinitely. Chin up spurs fans, Tim Duncans grow on trees youll get another one lmaooo

[@torpedospurs]

Nah. Manu was Joe Johnson's Kryptonite during those early years. He guarded Johnson effectively but Johnson couldn't return the favor.

[@jakobee.6962]

@@torpedospurslet's be real, long haired manu was a problem for everyone. With a healthy Joe Johnson tho, suns would've had an outlet playmaker to take advantage of the attention Nash and amare were getting

[@torpedospurs]

@@jakobee.6962 Watch short haired rookie Manu versus Joe Johnson in the 2003 playoffs.

[@jakobee.6962]

@@torpedospurs that was also a Joe Johnson without Steve Nash/amare pnr taking most of the defensive attention

[@torpedospurs]

@@jakobee.6962 Johnson was the third or fourth option in 2003, just as he was in 2005. No major changes there. Manu basically stifled him on defense in both years.
