With NBA TV having a SUNS Day y'day , I thought I would look for some of the games that were featured for those who might have missed it. I know some of the Vets here know these games by heart but for those like me who didn't have Cable back then, I am glad I got to see some of this stuff the last few years on YouTube . I used to have to watch stuff from that era posted in Parts or just Highlights but seem to be finding more uploads of Full Games recently.
Suns @ Spurs 1993 - Game 6
I found this full game but the Audio is a foreign language lol then I saw this which I think lots of you guys will enjoy. It's only the 4th quarter but it is the local station feed with Al and it has the commercials which I guess should bring back memories

I hear ya Cap, kinda hard to watch certain resolutions after what is now the norm lol.
I gonna still try watch some of these 70s games Bobster "in parts"
The 70's games are fun because of how balanced the talent is across the floor. Any of the 10 guys on the court could grab the rebound and push the ball up court. Most of them can shoot, and they all know how to move and pass. I could watch Adams vs Cowens any day.
