Both teams coming off losses

Suns will be even more up for this game than usual, I'd guess...

But I'm still going with the Spurs. Another Suns loss, at home, on ABC.

Maybe so, they did in 2006.

But overall here, you displayed insecurity, and, a lack of something to say with your response being irrelevant to what LyMinh said.

The only reason you said this is to try and lessen the Spurs. Deflecting the attention and likelyhood away from the Suns, and possibly to make yourself feel better, with feeling and predicting the Spurs won't go that far in the playoffs this season.

But the Spurs getting knocked out in R2 is only an average possibility.

What LyMinh said, I don't see as a shot at the Suns, but rather something that is credible and based off the Suns multiple short-comings as a team. With the current, the outlook for Phoenix, it is obvious they most likely aren't going deep into the playoffs, or will be reaching their goals they have wanted to reach. Myself, I don't think they will, they just don't have the make-up as a team to do so.

With the Spurs, it is at least a legitimate possibility they'll go to the WCF or finals, because of the flexible ability of the team. Whether you like it or not, that is the consensus. Not the consensus, but a lot of people also like the Spurs to repeat.

I will, and think you should too, come back to this thread after the Spurs 2nd round series. Either for you to own up to being wrong, or to respectably show you were right. And, showing some enthusiasm along with respect is of course fine. That'd be expected.

I have this bookmarked, so we'll just have to see (I will, anyway).

lol, in saying 'neither' you admitted the Suns aren't a factor. I also think it's funny even a troll has us getting to the second round minimum.

Kerr and Presti secretly work for the Spurs still.

Given your trolling habits on um... 8 boards, I doubt you will be here for the 2nd round.

If we dominate them today, we break their spirits. If we lose, well...it's not like CIA Pop is going to show all our cards anyway. ;)

I think Pop letting the guys sit on the bench for the last 6 minutes of the game against Denver will have the Spurs fired up today. Spurs got some much needed rest yesterday. I would loove to see a PIstons style whooping, but that won't happen. Suns are out to get this one and the arena will be as loud as ever.

I expect the Suns to go balls out and play their best... we have to match their intensity.

Spurs win and Phoenix goes on a downward spiral after this game and end up being the 9th seed at season's end. Kerr voted worst GM in league history after transforming a rival and title contender into a lottery team within months. in october 2009, it will then be revealed that Kerr still works with the Spurs after Kerr drafted Danni Pitak from Indonesia with whatever pick they have and traded Nash for Calderon in July 2008.
