You jumping ship, too Shoogar? Who's your team, the Mavs or Suns?
Let me guess . . . you were one of the blind homers who said the Spurs would sweep Seattle, too.
You jumping ship, too Shoogar? Who's your team, the Mavs or Suns?
Anyone who points out the fact that the Spurs struggled mightlily against an undermanned Sonics team and that they're going to have to play better if they want to get past the next round is jumping ship?
The inferiority complexes around here are amazing.
If Seattle's defense is nothing.seattle's defense is nothing.
How bad is Phoenix's and Dallas's
Inferiority complex? You're the one putting down the Spurs, not me. I'm confident the Spurs are superior to the Mavs or Suns.
I'm just calling you out. If you think the Mavs or Suns are the better team, say it. And pick the series. Otherwise, you're just talking .
Fact is, neither you or I have ANY idea how the Spurs will play against these teams. I mean, damn, can't you wait until we know who we are playing before we say the Spurs suck?
Sonics played a GREAT series. I would say they played above their talent. Now, were the Spurs perfect? No. Is Dallas or Phoenix perfect? No.
Only team perfect right now is the Heat.
ok kiddos
the big cat will make it easy for you to understand
he wants the spurs to win, but thinks they are not in as good of shape as some here seem to think they are
so get off my nuts and tell your to come here
Have you been watching the Mavs/Suns series? Do you really think they are as good as the media hypes them up to be?ok kiddos
the big cat will make it easy for you to understand

Sue me for being confident. But I won't shut up about it, so you can suck your own nuts for all I care.
And if you don't want smart-ass responses, don't start stupid threads. Geeez.
into the porcelain bowl you go
into the porcelain bowl you go
LOL... wow. You sure got me there
in 2004 the spurs were knocked out in the second round in 6 games.
in 2005 they advanced in 6.
naturally
what kind of chode would get overconfident?
its like people just wait for the spurs to do well so they can remind everyone that they havent won anything yet
i was just waiting for a lame ass thread like this
^ obviously one of those who thought the spurs would sweep seattle
poor little
i thought the sonics could win one
oh well
you dont need to tell most people on here not to blow their chodes just because we're in the WCF
yeah we did beat the nuggets and the sonics, but compared to who the other teams beat thats pretty dam good
there will always be some person who even after we win the championship
will say "now remember the spurs have never won two in a row. lets not be too excited"
i think real fans deserve the benefit of the doubt not to be stupid. if you are and are already celebrating like we won the finals then i dont really give a about them because theyre stupid
Here's a game: find ONE place where I put down the Spurs. I said they didn't play as well as they should. The fact that you somehow parse that into a putdown = inferiority complex.
Here's a game: find ONE place where I even IMPLIED that the Mavs or the Suns are a better team. THAT'S THE ENTIRE ING POINT. Again, either you don't understand English, or are looking for things that aren't there to get upset over (=inferiority complex).I'm just calling you out. If you think the Mavs or Suns are the better team, say it. And pick the series. Otherwise, you're just talking .
If the Spurs play closer to the way they are capable of, they will win. If they play the way they did against a Sonic team without 2 of their 3 best players, they will lose.
Here's a game: Find just ONE place where I said the Spurs suck. Can you? No? So then why do you continually feel the need to make up things I never said to get upset over? Could it be your . . .Fact is, neither you or I have ANY idea how the Spurs will play against these teams. I mean, damn, can't you wait until we know who we are playing before we say the Spurs suck?
Personally, I'm not overconfident... I think the Spurs are the better team and that they should win both the WCF and the Championship, regardless of whether it's Miami or Detroit. However, there is the possibility that the Spurs might get overconfident in the fact that everyone knows the Suns don't play defense. That could get into anybody's head. On the other hand, the Spurs know that their defense was chippy at times against Seattle and that the basketball gods didn't favor our shots falling in the last few games. If they work hard to expose the Suns' flaws and not rest on them, I think our confidence level is right where it should be.

The ONLY thing I worry about is Tim's ankle. If Spurs are healthy, they will win this series.
, anyone who watched Game 6 versus the Sonics knows that the Spurs have what it takes. And, I'll tell you what: The Spurs CAN play like they did against the Sonics and still win this series. Because for the most part, the Spurs got the looks they wanted.
Just because the ball doesn't always go in, doesn't mean the Spurs played like crap. Lord.
i put it all on the spurs to sweep the suns. put your vbookie cash where your ass mouth is.
Yeah, because, like, Nash and Stoudamire couldn't possibly run the pick-and-roll any better than Seattle did.
There's a difference between supporting your team and having your head up your ass thinking that it's going to be an easy series.You jumping ship, too Shoogar? Who's your team, the Mavs or Suns?
I wonder if some of you have even watched anyone outside of the Spurs play a game.
As crazy as it is, I'm with violentkitten on this one. Some of you need to come back to this thing we call reality.
ShoogarBear has been pretty spot on this thread.
Phoenix's bread and butter is the pick and roll, and they run it a of a lot better than a depleted Seattle team that generally kicked our ass with it did.
Inferiority complex? I think you need to look in the mirror when you come on here lecturing people for thinking Phoenix won't be easy. They are the top seed in the playoffs, they have an unbelievably potent offense, and going into this series their PG is coming off a series where he averaged 30, 12, and 6, meanwhile ours didn't even do that combined in his last 3 games.
I am not underestimating the Suns. If allowed to play their fastbreak pace, they can beat anybody. They might be a tough an obstacle as detroit is, for different reasons.
But the Spurs have a lot going for them as the intensity level of the playoffs increases. The Spurs have the most playoff (and Finals) experience than anybody including Detroit. The young Suns have what, Nash and Jackson with experience past round 2? And the Spurs have a defense that the Suns have not seen so far in the playoffs. The Suns pace will be slowed down, the Suns will be forced to play defense, and their thin bench will be exposed. If Tim's left ankle and Manu's bruised thigh get a chance to heal by Sunday (enough for them to run), the Spurs can get a win on Sunday.
This series is a Spurs' lock.
Although I agree with VK on the whole overconfidence thing, I gotta disagree on the "depleted" characterization of the Sonics. On paper they do look weak. But as Kenny like to say to Charles, the playoffs are all about matchups. And Seattle matched up great against the Spurs. Rashard played like a pussy (no offense, vk) on the perimeter, even though he had 4 inches on Barry and Manu when they were guarding him. Once he went down, the Sonics got tougher mentally and physically.
Lewis going down made them a tougher out.
sure i will agree that injuries perhaps forced the sonics into a game plan that worked better against the spurs.
what if d'antoni decides to try the same?
ps...i offend, am never offended
look at the suns_spurs series this way the suns can't foul tony and manu the way the nuggs and sonics they don't have the depth to give so many fouls so look for Tony espesially to have huge games and Manu is always gonna be badass so watch out Suns
