nice thread, but did you have to put that Tim Duncan picture in it. I think suns win tomorrow and take it to the spurs.

Duncan looks so weird at the FT line. Did anybody count of long it takes him to shoot a free throw?

This is our game to win. LET'S GO SUNS! FEEL THE CHEESE! GET SOME NUTS! Did i miss any other pre-game exclamation?!?

Nash will be 100% for the game:

SAN ANTONIO - Steve Nash was feeling much better Monday. The flu bug that had dehydrated and sapped his energy for the better part of four days was finally beaten back. And while he didn

We should win this game (we shoulda won game 1, but the past is the past :nonono: ). I highly doubt Duncan is going to be draining 3s anymore and as long as MD stays away from those double teams, we will be in good shape. The Spurs needed everything that could go right to go right and unfortunately for us it did. But, the law of averages applies to everyone, even the Spurs.

P.S: Somebody tell MD that Shaq needs to be playing Duncan, not STAT :banghead: When Shaq was on him, Duncan had to work twice as hard just to make a shot or he got the shot altered/blocked. Either way, it is a plus for us.

As whambamslam said, that photo of Duncan is of the 3 he made in game 1....pretty much a visual kick to the crotch :o

Nice thread Nash

I think part of it was foul trouble. Shaq will guard Duncan most of the time if he isn't in foul trouble.

Its funny someone else mentions Tim Duncans free throw technique/ritual before shooting. When I went to the last home game where we faced them I noticed it big time...He takes about 12-14 seconds to shoot his free throw. I know for a fact there is a 10 second rule for free throw rituals...and after 10secs its a delay of game. Uh WTF? Do they just over look this rule now?

Has anyone ever seen it been called? I recall back to when the Bulls and Jazz were in the Finals and the Bulls fans would always count Malone at the line as he did a similar thing.

Maybe once, we are at home all those front row loud fans we have will start counting so as to get the refs thinking. :lol:

It seems like his routine was even longer than usual in Game 1, I don't know why.

I'm watching game 1 right now, and I really like how we matchup with the Spurs, even when Shaq was out. I am confident we will take game 2 tonight.

i wouldnt be suprised to see the spurs win, and if they did MY sky wouldnt be falling down

in exactly the same way as if we had home court advantage and were up 2-0 i wouldnt be overconfident either

that said, i do think this year, all things being equal and shaq etc being able to stay on the court, that the suns are the better team and i expect us to win the series

whether that means we win game 2 remains to be seen

my thoughts tho would be that the suns get this one by 10+

time will tell

took the day off of work just to watch it

woot woot

WE OWN THIS!
