Spurs advance, Suns go home

The Spurs are another of the teams that just grabbed a ticket for the second round of the playoffs, as they ended with the Suns run in the post season by eliminating them on game five yesterday at San Antonio.

The Suns are done and so is their coach Mike D’Antoni who just got fired after almost 5 years in the coach’s chair for the Suns, and where he has watched his former team being eliminated by the Spurs on the post season on four ocassions, Maybe D’Antoni is the problem, maybe he isn’t but the fact is that he’s leaving the space for a new coach to take over and try to deal with a Phoenix team that needs to focus and come up with another face next season.

Now the Suns will have to deal with a Shaquille O’Neal who will undoubtely be slower as he’s turning 37 and a Steve Nash who looks more tired than ever, as he’s getting quite old too, so they will probably gonna be seeing less action and become friends with the bench. And so the trade of Shawn Marion for Shaq has being just a plain bad decission, one that Phoenix is still regreating.
