    LOL! Exactly. This Suns team is the real deal. I mean, at halftime, the Spurs were actually shooting better from the three point line than the Suns but the Spurs were so flustered by the Suns' 6 threes that he said "They're the best three point shooting team in the NBA! Maybe ever!"

    It apparently also breaks Charles Barkley's record for most points scored in a quarter by a single player in a playoff game against the Spurs.

    Two games for the history books today. Boston's worst playoff home loss ever. And then Dragic.

    No surprise really. He played excellent against us.

    Well, it was an absolutely incredible performance, but lets not forget that Martell Webster has a 24 point quarter to his name. I'm probably not as amazed because I generally don't add as much weight to performances in the playoffs or in the fourth quarter. I know it makes a difference but in my opinion the difference isn't as great as most people seem to think.

    He played great against us but you can't tell me that last night you were thinking that Dragic might break records and drop 26 points in the last 13 minutes of the game in San Antonio to turn a 6 point deficit into a blowout win last night, can you?

    Martell's quarter was the third and at home in a regular season game. And the game wasn't decided until Travis Outlaw had a big 4th quarter.

    How can you not put more weight on a 4th quarter on the road in a series changing game? It's a totally different level of play. Game 3. The Spurs have been gameplanning for you all week (they're a great defensive team!!). They're 4 time champs and their season is on the line. Nash, Amare, and J-Rich are on the bench and the Spurs are winning. And then Dragic goes off and leads them to vidtory. I hope that someday Webster does that for us, but he hasn't so far. It would've been nice if he or Rudy or anyone did something like that for us in Game 5 in Phoenix. Or even Game 6. Webster had a good 4th but what if he finished what he started and got us the W?

    As an NBA fan with no rooting interest in either team it was a lot of fun to watch. That must have been a helluva feeling for Pop, to know there really wasn't anything they could do to stop that kid for about 8 minutes.
