the Suns are down to the Spurs, so let me get this straight, we have a 17 percent chance of winning?

Of course not. I mean, it could be 17% by coincidence, but that statistic has no bearing at all on any individual series.

Actually, In series' in which game 1 goes into overtime via a three point shot hit by the winning team's power forward's first 3-pt make of the season, the the losing team has come back to win 100% of the time.

Hmm. I guess there's a stat for everything.

I dont know if there are 3 players in the league that can stop TP on a penetration, especially when he has been screened by a big man. TP is an all star and finals MVP for pretty much one reason, he can penetrate and finish or draw the foul. Most teams just use a shotblocker to deter the finish. The suns big defenders were saddled with fouls for most of the game.

Parker never gets blocked though.

Here is a simple formula..

Whoever wins today... wins the series.

If the Suns Win:

They do what they are supposed to do. They go on the road, get the split and take home court from the Spurs. A Phoenix win today all but negates the bad taste of the game 1 loss and puts Phoenix in the drivers seat. There will be 5 games left in the series, 3 of which will be played in Phoenix.

If the Spurs Win:

They will be up 2-0 and the Suns would have to win 4 out of the remaining 5 in order to win the series. A 2-0 hole is too deep to climb out of against a quality team like the Spurs.


My prediction for today:

Suns 108
Spurs 102

No overtime today.

So you think the Suns cant come back and take care of home too, this is why a lot believe that this game will probably go 7 because they are so evenly matched, anyone who thinks the suns are going to roll over even if they lose gme 2 has to have their head examine, a combo of Nash and Shaq will never let that happen.

Didnt people say the same thing 2005/2006 Suns-Lakers playoff series and that was a series without Amare and KT. To me this series aint over unless Spurms have a 3-0 lead and that is not going to happen.

God I just love people who join message boards after 2 wins and declare they won the series already.

Sadly, people are that moronic at times.

Spurs need 4 wins, not 2.

Well the Spurs took care of their home court, if the suns cant do the same in the next two meetings in Phoenix, then they deserve to lose this series.
The only player i pity is Hill, dude is SO Unlucky
