This was on ESPN's Daily Dime tonight after game 5:

Suns fans apparently tried to give their team a homecourt advantage long before filing into US Airways Center Wednesday night. A bogus bomb threat was made at the Spurs' team hotel around 9 p.m. Tuesday night, prompting local police to do a room-to-room sweep of the property.

Spurs guard Brent Barry made light of the incident before tipoff on Wednesday. "I couldn't understand it, because Suns fans are too classy for that," he said, tongue lodged firmly in cheek. "But I walked through the lobby and saw [TNT's] Craig Sager. Then it all came together. They were trying to blow up Sager. And who would have a problem with that?" Barry, perhaps angling for the league's good sportsmanship award, forewarned Sager about his intention to blame the threat on him.

I thought that there was also one last night? I'm sure I read somewhere that Horry was instructed to not leave his hotel room for any reason as well because of it.

Maybe there was just the one on Tuesday.

Who is the Stupid fan that even thinks this is an effective method? If anything, he should have put out the threat @ 1 am the day of the game... thus, costing the team some sleep.

Of course, if his attempt was to actually place a bomb... YIKES! You realize it's just a game, right?

Monday night was the game in San Antonio.

Sorry but Spurs fans have never called in a bomb threat to an opposing teams hotel. That goes far and behind anything.

Can we please keep this thread from being a pissing contest? Spurs fans don't know how to use phones? C'mon. Let's not debase ourselves.

Of course it does. Do you really think that a significant number of Suns' fans condone a bomb threat?
