Johnson's return
revitalizes Phoenix
on the edge of loss
BY JAIME ARON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Nobody would’ve
blamed Joe Johnson if he sat out the
rest of the playoffs.
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.”

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.
