Thought you might appreciate the nerdery here comparing your boy to Lord Of The Rings...
The answer to the original question -- how can Phoenix overcome this penalty? -- is that Steve Nash must run. The Suns evened their Western semifinal at 2-2 on San Antonio's floor while playing at the Spurs' restrictive pace, but that won't work this time.
This series has been all about Phoenix since Nash ran nose-first into Tony Parker in the fourth quarter as Game 1 bled away. We know how good the Spurs are -- it will be no surprise should they go on to win their third championship in five years -- but we still don't know how good the Suns can be. Taking good and evil out of it: The Spurs are the mountain that must be conquered, and Nash is Frodo.
As for me, I've been a Spurs fan and a Suns fan at different times in my life with absolute loyalty to neither, so I'm just hoping for great, competitive games. The suspensions were unjustly applied and have regrettably tainted the de facto NBA Finals.
