    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHOENIX - For a moment, Robert Sarver had to put down his big foam finger and whatever courage was in his cup.

    Sarver, the Suns' boisterous incoming owner, got up from his courtside seat, faced the Spurs' bench and flapped his bent arms chicken style, mocking San Antonio for holding Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili out from Wednesday's showdown.

    Sarver explained later he was just disappointed to have had the last regular-season meeting of the NBA's best teams deflated.

    But he might as well have been mocking the entire league, acting the fool with the comforting knowledge its most irrepressible force was standing behind him.

    Say what you will. Others have before, and the Suns have heard it all. They don't defend. They don't rebound. They run, and playoff teams walk.

    But you won't see any team looking forward to running with them when the playoffs begin.

    Cue Sarver's chicken act.

    "Everybody can say we don't run plays and we don't play defense and we won't be able to run in the playoffs," forward Shawn Marion said. "But in the playoffs ... we'll still be able to run. We'll be able to do what we do. We run on made shots, missed shots, turnovers and anything else that happens on the court. You can't stop that."</div> Source
