spurs > suns
"Go ahead and hate the Spurs because they're better than your favorite team.
Go ahead and hate the Spurs because they execute better in the final minutes of playoff games than any team in recent memory.
Go ahead and hate the Spurs because your favorite team doesn't have a player who gets after it on the defensive end the way Bowen does.
And go ahead and hate the Spurs because not a single team in the Association has a player capable of stopping Duncan one-on-one.
But don't try and perpetuate this fallacy that the better team lost in this series as a result of two players not playing in Game 5.
Excuses can be adopted for every happening in life, but champions refuse to see them. This kind of focused and voluntary blindness is what ultimately differentiates champions from the rest of us, and in the end, it's what differentiated the Spurs from the Suns in this series."
