Suns Scare me...

[EricB]

No. 2005 was their best team.

True. This is thief best defensive team however.

[NickiRasgo]

A different coach also.

The Suns are one of those teams that can beat you in any single game, but this is a series. You just know they're going to go cold and cough up a home game. It's what they do.

Well they are slightly similar to Dallas In one thing. VERY reliant on the jumpshot. That plays into the spurs defenseS the spurs take away ur threes and force you into mid range shots which the suns semi struggle at. Getting grant hill in foul trouble will help things.

A different coach also.

Yeah gentry is. Man I don't know if he's better than D'Antoni or not...

I think we have to control the tempo against their run and gun style just like we always have against them. Try to control them at the point of attack and try to get Nash out of his game. Make them play our game.

Blablablablabla

Enough with reverse jinx BS


I don't see how they can beat us in a 7 game series

(Unless we have injuries )

Yeah copy what Portland did defensively in games 1 and 4.

[Whisky Dog]

I only watched one game between the teams this season and it was a while back, so I'm not too familiar with them. Going off that graphic that showed the 2 games Portland won they held them to 0 or 1 30+ pt quarters and limited their fast break points, so I see the same kind of keys going into this series as the last one.

Control tempo, limit turnovers, transition defense, control the defensive glass, and rotate hard on shooters.

Maybe we should merge the Suns are scary threads.

[lefty]

Maybe we should merge the Suns are scary threads.

Or start a different thread : " Suns, scary? WTF are you guys talking about "

[Creation88]

the key will be stopping their 3 point shooters.

[lefty]

the key will be stopping their 3 point shooters.

And who does that better than the Spurs?

[SAGambler]

I agree. The team they have now is deeper and more complete than years past imho.

Not to mention they now actually PLAY DEFENSE! Something of new twist to the Suns teams we have seen in the past. I think this is gonna be a tough series for us. Maybe even tougher than the Mavs were.

But Go Spurs Go!!!!!!
