But they were almost swept by the Spurs mostly because their bench sucks,they got no money to get good players.
thats true..but the biggest factor that i think killed that suns was the hack a shaq. i mean even if shaq made one free throw, the spurs could still settle for a 2 for 1, or even 3 for 1. This, obviously made them play shaq less, which resulted in the spurs scoring surges. But also, ther was one point where when they put shaq on the bench, the suns always seemed to go on a scoring run.so is shaq detrimental to the suns uptempo style of play? do u guys think his faults outweight his benefits?
