Game Thread: Suns vs. Spurs

[Chaplin]

This is it guys, the day we've been waiting for...

Predictions? Thoughts?

 

[Chaplin]

I gotta say Suns by 3, behind a stupendous performance by Stephon Marbury.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I just want to see some basketball!!!!!!!! So psyched the game in on TNT tonight so I get to atcually watch it in Los Angeles.

I say Suns by 4 - ruining the ring night for the defending chumps (who we would have beaten if Marbs was healthy).

By the way, Chap - I remember a while back you mentioning something about organizating a time for the Los Angeles Suns fans to get together and either go to a game against the Clips/Lakes or get together some other way -is that still kicking around in your head, cause I'm defintely down.

Suns by 6. Without Tony Parker, it becomes very easy to double down on Duncan.

 

[Yuma]

I have the uncomfortable feeling our rebounding weakness will show it's ugly head again!! Also, we have been dropping way off the three shooters!! I am feeling we are in for a let down year!! Or that could just be general malaise of being a Charger and Dback fan!!

That will not be the case. Marbury is on my fantasy team so he will suck it up tonight. Unfortunately.

Spurs by 10.

Phoenix 100 Spurs 83

Amare 32pts 15reb 4blk
Marbury 20pts 13ast

If there is any team that Marbury statistically destroys, it's the San Antonio Spurs, and now that Tony Parker isn't even starting (Anthony Carter probably will), that just means that Marbury is going to have it even easier out there!

Absolutely! We should probably plan to get something set up here soon--that way we can get the guys to actually commit!

You, me, Eric, Se7en, there are a bunch more guys in LA too, so we should definitely set something up.

You know about that fiasco that happened over at PHXSUNS.NET - what if we e-mailed that guy who was giving out vouchers for home games and saw what he coujld do about getting us group tix for a Clippers/Suns game out here - it might work.

Interesting idea, but I would say the odds are stacked against us!

Yup, and my Australian breth'ran Shane Heal is backing him up.

This guy's a real tough competitor (wanted to go Barkley at the Olympics in in '92) and can get super hot from the arc if he makes his first couple. He'll give a good account of himself no doubt.

 

[schutd]

I hate predicting games. I always suck at it. I want us to win, I think we can win, something inside tells me we wont, and it drives me nuts. Makes it hard to talk smack, too, when somethings gnawing at you telling you you might lose. I NEED CONFIDENCE!

Oh, and anyways, I have to go to my internship tonight, so Im going to miss the game.

CRAP!

Suns lose tonight by 8.
For the season I say we finish around 48-34!

Yeah, this game will be bitter sweat for me. I want suns to win, but I also want Shane to rip us apart. Im not sure what his minutes will be like though.....

 

[SweetD]

I say the Suns by 12 and Duncan will have a tripple double
105 Suns
93 SanTone

Give them hell guys... I will be in class checking my cell phone for the score....

BMF - my feelings exactly!

You know the game's on ESPN today don't you?

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

Its on TnT tonight, not espn

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

BTW, the tip off pregame show starts at 5pm. Game is at 6pm


1 hour, 14 minutes till television coverage!

 

[3rdside]

Nope - even though it's a tnt program, espn is the channel that we'll be watching it on over here. We only have espn and fox sports one and two.

 

[Wally]

It could go either way......... Suns play "skill ball" with 3 guards & 2 forwards and loose by 3....... Suns play team ball with 5 positions and they'll win by 3

 

[Chaplin]

Well, I guess Bibby still has his excellent communication and grammatical skills...

 

[Cheesebeef]

TEN MINUTES!!!!!!!
