Given the Phoenix Suns high paced style of offense, which generally comes in big waves of scoring output followed by big waves of scoring droughts and so on, if you’re coaching it must wreak havoc on your nerves. Well that must have been the case for Suns Coach Alvin Gentry last night just before halftime of the Suns-Lakers Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
Coach Gentry tossed his cookies on National TV. Sure it could have been a stomach bug, but I prefer to think Gentry is so invested in his team being on the doorstep of taking down the mighty Lakers, that every lost possession causes his stomach to churn.
And if Gentry was sick before halftime, just imagine how he felt right after Ron Artest hit the game winning put back shot at the buzzer to win Game 5, and give the Lakers a 3-2 series lead.
