Spurs fall for the oldest trick in sports.
Last used successfully by the Boston Red Sox on the New York Yankees.Let em win a couple of games to make them cockey and overconfident, then quietly win the next four games before they know what hit them.

Are Big Papi and Manny being signed to 10-day contracts?

That's the trick the Spurs used on PHX during the regular season. Now watch them win the next to make it 4 in a row.
Here's hoping every Spurs opponent employs that strategy.
I didn't see a ksat link, so it can't be confirmed.Quote:

Yeah, except the Spurs are NOT the Yankees. They don't get cocky or overconfident.Quote:

Mars fix your sig until Kori figures out the problem.
This thread is a joke. Phoenix was done afer two games.
I'm shaking in my spaceboots
I don't think that's a strategy :lol I won't rest easy, however, until the Spurs win their fourth game of the series.
oldest and least successfully employed trick ever... but maybe the Suns are due?

Like one of the local announcers said last night, it won't work because Amare can't hit a curve ball.Quote:

Incorrect. Another thread mentions that it's happened 3 times. Of course twice it was in the NHL (in the 40's and 75), so maybe they don't count...Quote:

Unless somehow enough Phoenix fans show up to out cheer the good folks from San Antonio in SA, I see the defending world champions winning at least ONE of those two home games.
No offense, and I'm not trying to bust anyones butt over it, although I am sure someone else will beat me to it.

Teams down 3-1, playing game 5 on the road, are... 2-118 all-time. Just an interesting little statistic. So there is a chance...
Exactly. With the Spurs up 3-1 and the Suns staring at yet another playoff failure/choke. Right where Phoenix always is at playoff time.Quote:

Losing this one would definitely fit into that category.
I am not the least bit worried. The odds are so enormously against Phoenix rallying in this series that the only question I really have is how many points will the Spurs win by in game five?

It's not a choke if the Spurs are the superior team, as they clearly appear to be.Quote:

I'm guessing that would stand to reason because the disparity is usually greater in first round match ups.Quote:
