There was the "weird science" from Nellie. There was the mysterious absence of bearditude down the stretch. There was Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni's steadfast refusal to show any quarter, riding Nasty Nash and the starters for extended minutes. And in the end, there was the eighth defeat in nine tries for the Dubs in the Valley of the Sun. The crucial difference being that this one ended their quest for the eighth seed and a playoff birth.

    There's not really a good answer to why Nellie decided to bench BD in the 2nd half last night but I did read this on Suns.com earlier this morning...


    "I gave Baron (Davis) a much needed rest in the second half. I gave him a half off. I thought the guys that played the second half played well. They got a nice lead for us and I thought they deserved a chance to keep it and win the game. It didn't happen that way, but it was my decision."


    Still...a strange decision and a strange ending.
    Better luck next year Warrior fans. Keep believing!
