suns highlights in VALLEY FORD.He had six stitches beneath a bandage on his eyebrow, while the purplish lump was darkening another shade.And that fourth quarter?
One good eye was plenty.
Nash scored 10 of his 20 points while his eye gradually shut more and more in the fourth, and the swept the from the western conference semifinals with a 107101 win sunday night.
It was longawaited redemption for the suns, who had been booted from the playoff by the spurs four times since 2003.
Nash came back with an ice pack on his eye when he finally returned to the court.
This year, it went their way.
He is the only suns player who was on each of those spursousted teams over the last seven years, but rather than rejoice, stoudemire coolly walked off the court.
The suns still have work to do.
The lakers lead that series 30, and no team in nba playoff history has ever come back from that deficit to win.
Add these spurs to that list.
Three months after phoenix was on the brink of trading stoudemire and calling it a season, the suns are returning to the west finals for the first time since 2006.
Phoenix sealed its third trip to the west finals since 2005, and gets another crack at returning to the nba finals for the first time since 1993.
Parker scored 22 points to lead the spurs, who were swept out of the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
It was an abrupt ending for the spurs, who will have a summer to chew on some uncomfortable questions facing the winningest franchise of the last 13 years.
Duncan will be 35 when his contract is up in 2012.
But could the spurs part with parker, who enters the summer with an expiring deal and a cheaper replacement behind him in hill?
Back at the allstar break, it was the suns who were thinking about the future when a stoudemire trade seemed imminent.
The suns instead kept the team together, and stoudemire got to enjoy phoenix beating the spurs in the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
For me personally, it feels great.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for this franchise.
