Spurs are in the Suns heads, just a 'little'

2-2, Suns gonna need 6, maybe 7 games, if they get out of the first round.

The only reason the Spurs have managed to beat any of these teams is because they didn't make a habit of looking past their opponents, so I agree that a trip to the conference semis is far from in the bank. That said, I don't think it's at all unreasonable for fans of other teams in the west to be thinking, "Oh, . Here we go again" after last night's game.

i'm actually more scared of the Suns than ever. not having Bowen to defend Nash could tip things in favor of the Suns. while Bowen never stopped Nash, he pestered him about as much as anyone could have. i don't see George Hill doing half the job that Bowen did (that's just a testament to how damn good Bowen was).

i don't put as much into the pyschology of basketball as some others do. i don't think the Spurs are in their heads. if a series happens it'll be a completely different series from the rest. i don't think the others have any bearing.

having said that, the Suns, at this point, i would expect to lose to the Spurs, only because of how dominant the big 3 look. that can work to the Spurs disadvantage, though. they could go into a potential series with too much confidence. and the Suns, knowing they probably aren't favored, could go into it more loosely than they have before.

i think every team is saying that except LA. LA, as mediocre as they're currently playing, still pose lots of problems for us. i still don't consider us a threat to them.

Blair will be able to play and impact against the Suns.

Yep, we know how to beat you and we're comfortable & contented facing the effort. We can't figure out how to beat OKC, and they won't go away on their own say like Denver is going away on their own vs Utah.

OKC is a gd nightmare, but, Portland would be no better. Christ, they have a perpetual hard on for us 24/7, like in-laws.

Sunday win gets us to the WCF. We can handle Phoenix.

Spurs got this. Trust me.

I can't stand fans like you

Only part I don't understand is the double to Dirk. They actually haven't doubled him much this series.

i think it's less a matter of strategy (less a matter of "knowing how") than the fact that LA is just overall more talented, and should win primarily because of that.

When was the last time the Spurs won a game that meant . For Christs sake, get over 2007, you're starting to sound like the Rockets.

And you still sound like a whiny .
