It's all a part of the strategy....lose the first two and make them think they are gonna sweep winning the next two games at home, then we're gonna come back and win 4 straight to end it. Kinda like the Wizards did to the Bulls in the first round.
Spurs vs Suns - who wins?
- Thread starter Butt Rubber
- Start date
^Damn, you're wrong. This is the Spurs we are talking about here, not the Bulls. Although the Wizards lost the first two, the Bulls never proved they were the better team. In this series, it is clear who the better team is. The Spurs are too hungry and too determined to let this series slip away. It's over. O-V-E-R.
Also, just like AmerikazMost, I wanna see all the dickryding Suns fans post.

I'm still sure buddy. The Bulls never proved they were the best team when they one the first two games is your point. Neither have the Spurs if you wanna use that logic. In game 1, the Spurs had superb bench play mostly from (the widely known inconsistant as fuck) Brent Barry who nailed a couple of threes from no mans land to clinch it. In game two, you have two teams who ARE even, and once again the Spurs got the better of the Suns. Your "better team" Spurs have been down in both games and have had to come back in both games. That is not the mark of a team that is CLEARLY better than the other. If the Spurs were "clearly better" than the Suns, then Phoenix might as well not even step on the court because the Spurs should be able to beat their asses. When I say that I mean that the Suns shoud be down by 20 at the half and lose by 50 every time they play. My point is that both teams are evenly matched and that these are the two best teams in the western conference. Both teams are gonna win, both are gonna lose. Let's not decide the series is over because the Spurs have won a couple of games.

Your theory is falty. First off, a team IS better if they are losing and come out with a win in the end. It shows effort and determination. If that's how you're going to go about it, then the Lakers weren't better than the Kings in any of the series they played the last 5 years. Every time, Sactown would have a lead in the 4th quarter and blow it. It's a weakness. San Antonio and Phoenix Suns do match-up well, but so do the Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs. That doesn't mean the Celtics are better. Your point is that the teams are evenly matched, but watch the Suns ride the broomstick, putna.
Firstly, this series is a joke. To consider Phoenix or Seattle as the top 3 teams in the west is a joke. Steve Nash carried the team on his back the entire season, that's not consider a team nor teamplay. Team play is what the San Antonio Spurs are or what the Detroit Pistons are. Marion, Richardson, Johnson & even Stoudemire are not players who can attack the basket one on one or create for teamates. They feed off Nash. And to think Richardson won the 3pt contest, is even more of a joke. This team now & even next years run cannot compete for a championship. I'm not hating on the team, I'm clearly stating they dont deserve it nor are they good enough for it. They shoot more 3's in a game then any other team, what does that tell u.. same with how Seattle would. And they got no where.
I was going off of something you said, I didn't agree with it so technically you're now contradicting yourself. Watch the Suns come back in this series and make you eat those words. For the record, Sac was the better team and the Celtics were overrated this season.S O F I S T I K said:
What the Suns are doing is no different then what the Spurs have done for a number of years or what the heat are doing in depending on one man. The Spurs have relied on the big man for as long as I've followed basketball with David Robinson and now Tim Duncan. The Heat do the same with Wade and a lesser extent Shaq (who has carried every team he's ever been on) Your team theory has no merit....the teams that have that one dominant force have won it all with exception to last years Pistons in the last 15 years.Prophet G said:
As for the comments about Marion, Richardson & Stoudemire you couldn't be more incorrect. Richardson for one was always a respected player in the league who played for the shitty Clippers. Marion and Stoudemire have held their own in Phoenix and have put up the individual stats, thus proving they can compete in the league also. And Stoudemire.....you must be out your damn mind to diss him. You say you're not hating but it's hating to diss him. He has done nothing but prove that he can compete with the NBA's best ever since he's gotten in the league. Who won rookie of the year in 2002? Oh yeah....Stoudemire. Up until Stoudemire I could respect what you had to say, shit everyone has their opinions but to say that Stoudemire feeds off of Nash and that't the only way he has been successful is completely false.
You claim they all feed off of Nash right? Isn't that what the team game is. You claim that Phoenix does not play a team game, but isn't Nash dishing the ball off to the three players you named above playing the team game? Aren't all five starters averaging double digit points for the season? How is that not a team game? You're contradictiong yourself kid. Make up you mind.....which is it do you win with; the team game or the high scoring individual?

Who are the top three teams in the West, then, if not the Spurs, Suns, and Sonics? You said that Suns now and even next year cannot compete for a championship, but they are competing for a championship right now. They are in the conference finals. Being in the conference finals means you are competing for a championship.
I won't back down from my prediction. Though it's unlikely the Suns will win it now, I think they'll still make a run of it. They can now play with 8 players instead of 7 with Johnson coming back, and also move Stoudemire back to center. I think many of you will be surprised.
I'm not saying they are set up but in that Kings Lakers series everyone wanted the Lakers to win. The Kings had game 6 wrapped up but then the refs made "favorable" calls toward the Lakers which helped them win that game. The Kings never had a chance in that game 7.S O F I S T I K said:
it's simple...the suns have no bench and the spurs prolly have one of the best benches in the league...

the Suns will have more of a bench now with Johnson in the starting lineup. Hunter and Jackson can both come off, while Barbosa can occasionally sub in. Johnson is also the second best ball handler on the team, so it will help Nash out a lot.
