I just wish we had homecourt. I think I said Spurs in 6, but it'll probably be 7. These two teams are just too evenly matched and I think playing on the defending champs floor in a Game 7 will just be too much for this team.
so you are saying Suns in 7 now? good for you

ya i used to lose sleep and be depressed for weeks over my chosen teams losing.. so i feel you on that.. i try and enjoy the games more for the talent these days.. however i hate the spurs with such a passion that this series will be huge for my psyche.. do i think the Suns are going to win? of course.. do i think they have a chance of losing? no
my brother can't watch sports anymore cause he literally throws up when his team loses.. i can't believe people can get like that..
yeah, I never get that bad and I can usually turn the anger/anxiousness off once the game's over, but there's very little "enjoyment" when the game's on. Believe me, I hate the Spurs as much as anyone here and I actually think we have a good shot. I just don't like playing them right out of the gate and on the road. But hey, in the immortal words of Rick Flair: To be the man, you have to BEAT THE MAN.
Screw it. Bring those mfers on!
I do believe this. Whoever wins Game 1, wins the series.

Spurs in 6, I have a bad feeling Amare is going to get the short end of the calls, refs will have him playing less than 30 mins.
you misspelled Suns.. go Suns

honestly, this entire series is a measuring stick for where Amare is and what kind of player he ultimately can be. He's looking for more endorsements? This is where you make them. By leading your team over your dreaded foe, but that means playing good defense, rebounding, not getting in stupid foul trouble and not bitching to the media. Are you soft or not Amare? This is the series that shows if you've matured into a great player or if you're just the PF cersion of Dominique Wilkins.

Well said and very spot on.

Amare will still score 20 plus and grab 10 in his 30 mins, he always steps it up in the playoffs, Nash will step it up as will Shaq but I think Barbosa and Diaw have to play lights out, that is where my main area of doubt is.
Well, if we gotta battle the Spurs, might as well do it right off the bat. They are recovering from injuries and have not been playing very well the last couple of weeks (Utah tank job not withstanding).
I also think of all the first round matchups in either conference, this is the marquee series for the league. I'm pretty sure that will buy us an extra day of rest and we will open up on Sunday on ABC.
