WGAF what Mikey has to say? It's not like they are suddenly going to become defense minded overnight. So they have to have more offense. Problem is, when the Spurs go into lockdown mode, there is no more offense, only more missed shots.
It was 1-3 Laker fan in that series.
That 3rd victory of the Lakers were so sweet, but clearly they were the underdog in that series. Not so much for the Spurs.
And there has NEVER been any team coming back from an 0-3 hole, they say that ALL THE TIME in broadcasting.
Not in the NBA, anyway. I mean the RedSox did it a couple of years ago for the first time in any sport, so anything can and usually will happen, eventually.Quote:

I wouldn't be so blase about his words. I think he means it. Just look at the remarks by Raja Bell after one of the hits on TP: "if he gets up off the floor, God bless him." And then Barbosa got away with a punch to Manu's head in the last game.
The Suns are going to try and be physical with us because they know the league and refs will let them get away with rough play. The NBA doesn't want another brouhaha over suspensions.
It's happened 3 times in the history of North American professional sports:Quote:

This, of course, plays right into the Spurs' strength: their defense. But hey, that's Suns basketball -- score like hell -- and d'Antoni is going to sink or swim with it.
The key for the Spurs will be to withstand the the inevitable scoring binges, and no one has to remind the team that it is very possible to lose a series after winning the first two games. The Spurs will come out playing with the same sense of fear and respect for their opponent. I think Pop knows that this is when they're at their best: when they feel that it's *their* backs that are against the wall. It's when the Spurs become overconfident, and disrespectful of their opponents, when they let games run away from them.
So d'Antoni's warning that they're going to "bust" the Spurs may be good for his own team's confidence, but it also plays into the hands of the Spurs. Just knowing that they might be "busted" is when they start to clamp down, and do what they do best -- which is suffocating their opponents on defense, and run like hell to their own basket for the easy lay-ins.
I honestly think dantoni is feeling the heat from the management.. I am sure if and when the suns lose in the playoffs this year a lot of pressure will be made to change the entire run and gun system the suns play... IMHO...
That was a different time and place for Parker and Ginobili. They were not nearly as experienced. I think Phoenix is going to have to win the remaining games in SA to win the series.Quote:

Is d'Antoni's job in danger? That's all they can talk about in the Phoenix newspapers and blogs. If the Suns get swept, I think it's a distinct possibility. But I don't think so, especially if the Suns manage to prolong this to a six or seven game series. d'Antoni is a good coach, and replacing him doesn't guarantee that the team would be any better next year or the year after. Addressing issues like personnel, depth chart (even great players like Nash and Shaq need super-backups), and maybe getting a defensive genius-type assistant coach are more likely to improve the Suns' future chances.
Then again, they just might up and trounce the Spurs over the next three, four games. Then we'll be calling for Pop's neck, won't we? Not!

The Spurs sent the lakers packing in the playoffs before and after the three championships (shaq and Kobe were there the entire time). This is a dynasty - no getting around that.
Kobe and Shaq were not mature people and they broke up the Lakers when they had a chance for more championships. Those two are a couple of turds from California just so you'll know.
lol smack talk from the head coach. Well you'd never hear pop to that. This does not bode well for the Suns. Just give the Spurs more reason for a beatdown. D'Antoni needs to STFU.

I think the 03 Mavs were been the best of the 03 - 08 Mavs. Bobby Jackson and NVE raining 3Gs was terrrifying.
