"We were a bit unlucky."
Skiles said as much at the post-game press conference.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Suns' locker room was incredibly heavy.
Was it just bad luck?
Chen Yu stood with Nelson, arms crossed. Even a layman like him could see it: in the final moments, not a single person on the Suns could step up and score.
Not like Iverson.
In yesterday's game against the Magic, Iverson went on a rampage in the final quarter. He didn't pass at all, just brought the ball past half-court by himself and attacked.
Passing? What was that?
But Iverson could make the shots. He could score. He was just that dominant.
But on the current Suns, Robinson was old and Marion wasn't mature enough. As for their biggest star, J Kidd, hoping for him to score was less realistic than hoping for Marion's unorthodox shot to be a little more accurate.
If Hardaway were here, things would probably be much better.
That guy always seemed to play better the deeper he went into the playoffs.
