I think the Spurs have weathered the physical aspect of the playoffs. Not saying it will be easy but it shouldn't get any more physical to the end. Have you ever seen so many goons? :lol

Physical is cool, because Detroit will be ultra physical. There are no teams as dirty as the Sonics.

Detroit is pretty physical, if both teams meet up.

It will be odd if the Spurs matchup with PHX because it's part of their philosophy not to foul. They think too many fouls slows down the game and in turn, negates their running game. So instead of a hard foul, they'll give you a layup so they can push it back up the court.

Should be interesting.

I agree with Phil Ivey.... Detroit is physical but not dirty.....

The Spurs are definitely battle-tested now.

I totally agree, there is no substitute for experience and adversity, as long as they arent battle worn.

Timvp, do you think a running game will hurt Duncan more than a half-court game?

I'm trying to decide if playing PHX right now could be the worse thing to happen to a beaten-up team. Maybe I'm just crashing from that Victory High....

spurs will not try to run with the suns. The spurs will have to count on the guards and Nazr to get back in transition D. Even then, i don't know that running is the hard part on the ankles, cutting on the ankles is probably much worse.

cool. I hope Tim's ankle and Manu's thigh aren't too serious.

Other than that, I have high hopes for the WCF! Go Spurs!

I doubt it'll get as physical as the Denver, Seattle series from now on.

Denver was as much of a running team as PHX is. The Spurs are ready to play the defense they need to against the Suns. You have to get back on defense and no give up three-pointers. You do that and keep a body on Amare at all times, and you have a good chance.

Well put TimVP those are certainly the keys to victory against the Suns.
