Don't count game 1 as the Suns being at full strength, when the two time MVP and team leader of the Suns can't be on the floor in the closing minutes that is not full strength. |
lol they didnt shut down anyone else. That was the problem! See Bowen nailing timely three's, Parker scoring in the lane at will, Oberto scoring inside the paint or Ginobilli just grinding point after point. Hell, even SAs garbage time players were executing the offense well in Game 6. Amare cant guard anyone right now, he is a defensive liability, offensively gifted, but there is ZERO excuse for a man with his size and athelitic ability to let someone go off on him.
And your second paragraph gets a big
. Pheonix has a lack of depth, every team has to deal with foul trouble, injuries, ejections, etc. If they had a bench worth a damn having players in and out wouldnt hurt as much, nor would they be wearing their starters out with a 6 man rotation.
