Huge game for San Antonio tonight(Phx)
The pressure is on the Spurs. They are a great second half team and a great playoff team. Tim Duncan is really comming on but what about the bench? They are 6 games behind us. This is just how good and deep we are. They can't afford to get down behind us much more and Houston is only 2 behind them.
Nash(the mvp again), is going to try to cram the ball down their throat flying up and down the court. It is not as important for Phx but in a sense it is, home court and just saying, we can beat SA because SA puts them out pretty easily usually. This will be a good game to watch and see if San Antonio has the heart they have always had. Ginobili and Parker needs to step up with Duncan. Amare has to be a force on Phx. Nash will be, he always is. I watched Dallas last night and we are just to deep for teams. This is the best team we have ever had. Dampier manning the boards and shooting a high %. Howard out and lately George hasn't played all that good and then other night Croshere goes off. A Johnson played alot last night and when Dirk was off Stack was on and tthen the 4th Dirk took over. Terry made some big shots. Against Seattle Harris, Croshere and seems like another reserve had great games in which Harris is not reallt a reserve but against Miami we had no bench play last year. No starter play either the last few games but this year we are way to deep for any nba team. Phx, Miami, Cleveland, MN, San Antonio and many more teams are having to work to hard in the regular season. Dallas is cruising and normally the Spurs do what we are doing and come playoffs, it will hurt the above teams i listed. Being deep is very important in the playoffs. Can the Spurs win in Phx? They need this game badly. |

They don't have to keep up with us at all, they just have to stay 3rd or 4th. They have to stay ahead of the jazz/houston basically. Now they didn't do themselves any favors losing to the jazz, but I'm sure they've given up trying to catch the mavs.

As for tonights game, I'm rooting for the Spurs all the way, although I'm not liking the odds. The fact is, it's the second night of a back-to-back for them (we all know how bad the Spurs suck on b2b's), they're on the road, and it's Phoenix. Maybe they'll be energized and determined after losing to the Boozer-less Jazz last night, but I'm not getting my hopes up. |

I agree to a point but that is dangerous play. It did work for Miami just quitin some games last year and then trying to turn it on when they had to. It was a miracle they beat us that way but it happened.
Houston is dangerous if Ming, Battier and McGrady stay healthy. I know the Spurs are great later in the year and Houston would have to play flawless but it could happen. The Jazz loss did hurt because Boozer was not in that game. Okur killed them. The Jazz should fall big time without Boozer but who knows. This again is where Horry, Finley and Barry hurt San Antonio as they need young guns to try to catch us off the bench. They must make a trade to go younger and clutch off the bench. If not, they might wear Duncan, Gino and Parker out by the playoffs, like Nash will be. I say they haven't give up trying to catch us but it will be hard because our bench is just to good. They can do like Miami and just say screw the regular season but make the playoffs and try to turn it on but that is dangerous play. It did work for Miami. To just get the guys healthy. |

Battier has been the best signing for the rockettes in a long, long time. I imagine he brings a lot of professionalism and hard work to that locker room.
I really wish we could have swung a deal for him, I'd love him as a small forward and josh as a two.

I do not blame Memphis getting Gay. He looked like he had stardom but will he? Battier is a Josh Howard but with not as much offense. He was great in the clutch shooting a 3 and winning a game for Memphis. Made huge defensive stops. He played Dirk and our guys hard but we would over power and over tall him.
He is like a bulldog and won't stop. He will rebound, hustle, plays defense and some games has some offense. He would have been a great fit here as he is in Houston. The guy from U of KY that played in the cba that houston got last year, i knew he was a bulldog also. He is also another rebounding defensive guy. If they keep on building this defense, smart play, and Ming and McGrady stay healthy, this team can be a dangerous playoff team. I liked Battier also and it has hurt Memphis when he left. |

I'll be watching at my mom's house, so I won't be able to participate in the game thread.
I know this may sound weird... but please wish us luck... |

Gino's black eye from Kobe looks pretty bad. Spurs look good though.

When the Spurs get an early lead they typically lose games....

I think it's completely reversed. The pressure is on the Suns. We all know what the Spurs are capable of in the post season. Can the suns beat one of the better teams in the league or not?

30% for the Suns in the first? Maybe if SA wins the media will shut up about Phoenix being a "different" team than when they lost those other games to the elite. Go Spurs.

I just get the feeling the Suns are going to run the Spurs ragged tonight, especially with this being a back to back.

Spurts show their real problems. They have their best scorere guarding the rim, it's a killer.

Is that a robin's nest on the back of Ginobili's head?

I hope SA pulls it out. The Suns are mindfarked by the better teams in the West. They suck agains the better teams. Let them lose again and fall further into their win against bad teams abyss.
They simply can't get it done against the better teams. Last edited by Drbio; 02-01-2007 at 11:39 PM. |

Can't believe I'm pulling for the spurs, but they'll probably lose anyway. They're too old to handle phx on the second night of a back to back.

Manu probably needs to go ahead and lose it or at least cut it really, really short.

Suns with an 11-3 run to start the 3rd quarter and take the lead. Running and gunning to this point with good success.
