One of the most important games of this season.

SAS hasn't looked themselves this season. Kawhi Leonard is still out with injury too I believe. We have a good chance if we come to play.

The good or should I say, BEST, news is that the Suns have shot the 3 ball extremely bad lately. That means that their due for a game in which all the shooters are on, lets hope its this one.

This is a huge game. Let's hope Dragic goes off on the Spurs and Len stays out of foul trouble. Spurs have looked out of whack so far this season, but Danny Green has been huge for them. Whoever is guarding him has to play him tight, no easy jumpers.

I scare when we make a 4-5-6 game winning streak. It is like you know it is gonna end one day and when you win more games, the end is coming closer.

Duncan looks his age this year hence why their record is what it is. Last year Duncan played great and they won a championship. I bring that up because Alex len played great the last game against Duncan. I firmly believe we win this game. THIS Spurs team is not like years past Spurs teams. THIS Spurs team doesn't have the ability to just turn it on and go on a long win streak like years past.

Somehow I feel our ex Sun Boris Diaw will destroy us tonight. Hope I',m wrong but I just feel that way.

We gotta run them off the three point line, make the extra pass, and complain to the refs just as much as the Spurs do! Complaining early in the game is key because the refs don't want to be bothered all game so they'll eventually just start calling fouls in our favor so we'll get off their back. I see the Spurs use this tactic all the time (Heat as well), and it works. We have to use multiple guys, the Spurs normally use Manu, Timmy, and Popovich, but you also see Parker, Diaw, Tiago do the same thing. A key thing is to go up for a layup and on the way back down just fall. Flop, flop, and more flop.
If we want to beat the champs we have to play like them!

Agreed. But MoBros should only say nice compliments to the refs all game long, to make the complaining more legit.

That flopping video made me sick, by far my least favorite part of todays game. I hope we absolutely destroy them tonight. I want the youngins to get in with 8minutes left. The only problem with that is the headline will be 'whats wrong with the spurs' rather than 'watch out for suns'
