After all, it was only a few weeks ago that four metal plates were attached to his skull, held down by 18 screws, all because of a shattered bone near his left eye that left him looking like someone who’d fought a young Mike Tyson. Yet Johnson never wavered. No matter how many times friends and family told him to call it a season — most fearing for his safety, but some also mindful of his pending free agency — Johnson insisted on returning to the Phoenix Suns as soon as possible. He made it just in time. Just in time to keep the San Anto nio Spurs from sweeping the Suns out of the Western Conference finals. And, while it’s still a long shot, perhaps just in time to make the Suns the first NBA team to rally from a 3-0 deficit and advance. All he’s done so far is help force Game 5 tonight in Phoenix. But after seeing Johnson’s scoring and defense, and the trickle-down effect his presence had on his teammates, Suns coach Mike D’Antoni believes this could become an entirely different series now that his team is back at full strength. “Without him, we didn’t have enough,” D’Antoni said Tuesday. “With him, we have enough.” Johnson actually came back in Game 3, which was amazing to any one who saw his mangled face after he fell from the rim and landed on his face during a second-round game against Dallas on May 11. Yet any emo tional lift provided by Johnson and his mask were erased by how dominant the Spurs were that night. In Game 4, the Suns were like a dif ferent team. Or, rather, they looked like the Phoenix club that won the most games and scored the most points this season, not the one San Antonio had taken advantage of for three straight games. The stats prove it: After scoring 28 fastbreak points over the first three games, Phoenix had 26 last game. “Transition D is a particular concern because we’re playing against the best transition team in the league,” San An tonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “That’s a priority and they just drubbed us in that area.” Johnson scored 26 points on 10-of 15 shooting. That included a 16-foot jumper against tight coverage by Bruce Bowen, the Spurs’ best perimeter de fender, which stretched Phoenix’s lead to three points with 2:03 left. IN BRIEF Mariners call up 23-year-old shortstop SEATTLE — Hoping to spark their offense, the Seattle Mariners called up 23-year-old Mike Morse from Triple-A Tacoma on Tliesday and desig nated Wilson Valdez for assignment. Morse, acquired in the Freddy Garcia trade with the Chicago White Sox last June 27, was hitting .253 with four home runs and 23 RBIs in 49 games in the Pacific Coast League this season. Valdez was claimed on waivers from the New York Mets and added to the Mariners’ major league roster April 1. In 42 games, he was hitting .198 with no homers and eight RBIs. Manager Mike Hargrove said Morse will go into the starting lineup tonight against Toronto, giving him a day off after he flew to Seattle from Fresno, Calif., where the Tacoma Rainiers were playing Hiesday. “We didn’t bring him here not to play,” Hargrove said. “He’ll play the majority of the time.” Hargrove watched the 6-foot 4, 220-pound Morse in spring training and liked what he saw. “I liked the way he swung the bat,” he said. “He’s not bashful. And I understand he’s made a lot of strides defensively in Tacoma this season.” — The Associated Press Smith: Columnist's curtain is about to close Continued from page 9 It isn’t a matter of regret, just a bit of hindsight. What I have written is exactly that, and good or not, I relish the chance that I got. But as I am writing about going out on top, I certainly don’t want to go the other way and hang around. After all, I wouldn’t want to be known as the Jerry Rice of the Oregon Daily Emerald sports section, or the aforementioned Henderson. Please, retire already. There will be only one quick curtain call for the space taken up by a certain lefty specialist. Now, that curtain is about to close. So before I sound way too full of myself and my writing, I just want to say thanks for the opportunity to have 13 to 18 inches nearly every week to put down my thoughts and feelings about the great world of sports. Even though it may have left many people shaking their heads most of the time. b riansmith @ dailyemerald. com To place an ad, call (541) 346-4343 or stop by Room 300 EMU E-mail: dassads@dailyemerald.com Online Edition: www.dailyemerald.com Room 300, Erb Memorial Union, RO.
