Official Suns Vs Spurs Thread.

[JS22]

I have the strangest feeling that Phoenix is going to tear the Spurs apart tonight at home. They know that this game is HUGE, and have been playing so well lately. ...This is even with SA winning, what, 11 straight?

Suns 108
Spurs 101

Worse still. SA has won 17 of last 18 according to the AZ Republic.

We MUST win tonight. Lose and we are done, IMO, unless Houston screws up big time. Starbury has got to do his usual matador job on the SA guards.

the team play overall for the suns has been awesome the last few games. maybe we are getting some chemestry now. suns will take this one.

105
98


hopefully we can get the same production we have had the last three games from everyone.

 

[arthurracoon]

I hope the Suns don't become too relaxed. Some of their quotes make it sound like they are already in the playoffs.

 

[Joe Mama]

Unfortunately I feel like the Suns are going to lose tonight in a close game, but they will blow out both Portland and Seattle. I hope I'm wrong. I hope they can just get things taken care of tonight.

Even these guys SHOULD know the magic number still stands at 1. So I hope they will be fired up. We play the Spurs well and they are due for a loss sometime soon... hopefully tonight.

Suns 105 Spurs 99

We're probably playing our best basketball of the season and so are they, so it should be an exciting ball game.

GO SUNS!

I just found out that the spurs magic number also happens to be 1. They need 1 victory to clinch homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs. Both teams should be fired up tonight, and all I know that win or loose...this should be one hell of a game

 

[Forrestham]

Lets hope they can win tonight and the team can then rest its key players

Good point. Bo Outlaw could probably use a whole week off to heal that cheek. In fact, missing him tonight against the Spurs may be the difference in the game. I'm getting nervous.

Statement time

This is a game where you send a message to the Spurs.

We are in the playoffs.

You will be playing us.

Beware...

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Best of luck to you guys tonight and hopefully in the first round of the playoffs. Get rid of San Antonio in a hard-fought 7 game series or something like that.

Funny thing is: If Houston misses the playoffs, they do not get a high pick. It would go to the Grizzlies as a result of the deal which landed them Steve Francis.

Yeah, I was thinking, if I was Frank Johnson, I'd prepare the team for this game yesturday or this morning, talking about how to double Tim Duncan, how to defend Tony Parker, how to attack their press, or their zone, going over the X's and O's etc. And then tonight, when everybody got in the locker room, I'd just have one saying on the board:

"Let's Send A Message"

That's all it's about.

 

[JS22]

edit: I guess outlaw is going to play.

 

[JS22]

Amare is out ALREADY with foul trouble.

Good luck suns...

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The second foul on

Amare was just stupid. He got fouled, and then decided to extend his arm on the shot. The kid is going to learn though...

 

[JS22]

Penny is playing like ****, well...same goes for the whole team.

6 Turnovers already.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

1st quarter

Was about as bad as it can be for the Suns.

Penny didn't even show up tonight. His passes are lazy and stupid.

Amare is in foul trouble.

Marbury is being pressured constantly.

And the Spurs aren't being called for any fouls.

All in all, I am happy to only be down by 5.

 

[JS22]

Damn, the ref's are letting these two teams murder eachother.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Amare gets his third

But not before putting David Robinson in the poster. Absolutely posterized him. Robinson fouled him twice on the play...no call.

This is like a playoff game. Unfortunately Amare is getting called on like it's regular season.

 

[JS22]

Total BS. The officials are letting everyone beat the crap out of eachother but god forbid if Amare even runs by someone.

*whistle* *foul*

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Good god

Joe Johnson is looking good right now. I have never been a big fan of his, but I am starting to become a believer.

 

[arthurracoon]

Nice end to the 1st half.

Suns need ball movement.

 

[sunsfn]

Malik Rose is killing us with his hustle and rebounds.............
6' 7" YIKES!!!!!!

 

[JS22]

Offensive rebounds...if the suns can eliminate them then they have a shot at winning this one.

 

[arthurracoon]

TURNOVERS!!!!!!!!

ARGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
