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.

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

They are, you just don't know it yet. It will start Sunday.

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...

Suns fall for the oldest team in sports.

... in Phoenix. ;)

The odds are not in any team's favor to beat the Spurs at home for any two games.

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.

You're right. We're done for.

Crap.

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.

I'm in the camp that won't feel particularly secure until the Spurs win a 4th game. This group of Spurs has rarely failed, but when they have, they've failed pretty spectacularly.

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?
