Spurs Ending The Series in Phoenix is Even Sweeter

[nkdlunch]

Phoenix is healthy and a of a home team (despite 0-2 record vs. Spurs sans JJ) and the Spurs, while even my pick to win the series is a great team, they are only good on the road.

I think SA wraps it up in Game 6.

It's the other way around bro. Spurs = best home team. Suns = best road team.

PHOENIX - Forget Jordanesque. Amare Stoudemire is conjuring up names at age 22 that Michael Jordan only could have read about, like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson and Rick Barry.

Amare Stoudemire is doing things to the San Antonio Spurs and Tim Duncan that are more reminiscent of the battles Wilt Chamberlain had with Bill Russell. Chamberlain may not have been the winner that often, but no one ever could stop him.

"It's becoming, `OK, he got 30. Big deal,''' Suns coach Mike D'Antoni laughed after practice Tuesday. "And against one of the best defensive teams, against maybe the best player in the game.

...this is so funny!

Amare = Wilt?

see you guys in Phoenix!

[Brutalis]

That takes the cake on something realistic happening here. GG.

GO SPURS!

Taking it easy: The Spurs didn't practice Tuesday, but they met and watched film after arriving in Phoenix.

this is crazy

some fans went crazy after the loss and the TEAM WERE JUST TAKIN IT EASY...



that's HOW confident they are.

Go Spurs!

after game 5..........?????

sorry, Amare! You played good but the Spurs are better!

Sarver and Del Negro are the only people affiliated with that organization that I don't like. Really, Del Negro's the only one who pisses me off that much. Sarver just talked smack and had it blow up in his face.

Why do you hate Vinny Del Black?

[baseline bum]

For the same reason I hated Steve Smith. They sucked and were ridiculously overpaid.

I loved Vinnie when he played for you guys.

I never saw the "thanks for the season clap"

Seriously though, the Spurs will look to stay sharp over the next eight days, but for the most part, will be taking it as easy as possible.

"It's a great time for us ... got a week until we get right back in the mix. Love a shorter time, but you can't beat that," said Tim Duncan. "Manu (Ginobili) is a little dinged up. I'm a little dinged up. Tony (Parker) could probably use a day or two with his knee. We're all going to take that time to heal, but also to stay as sharp as we can."

The key will obviously be Duncan, whose efforts on two bad ankles against 6-10 kangaroo Amare Stoudemire is a testament to his greatness. He averaged over 27 points with nearly 14 rebounds and shouldered the full blame the only time his efforts fell below par -- the lone game his team lost in the series.

"Once I got warm, it kind of went back and forth because my opposite ankle isn't healed either," Duncan said. "So I played through both of those."

...
does it mean Duncan's NOT totally 100%, okay?
