Suns overwhelming favorites according to NBA "Legends"

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Spurs fans crying about the legends.

111-106.

[ducks]

vegs had them losing game one two by 4 points

[Durruti]

Was this before game 1? I'm shocked so many picked the suns. Seems more like wishful thinking from old-timers who long for the fast break. Most Suns fans (like myself) aren't nearly so optimistic. Oh well all the ESPN "experts" picked the Spurs so you shouldn't feel too sleighted.

Alot will depend on what happens tonight. If the Suns can even it up and overcome their phobia of the Spurs it's anyone's series.

Good luck and hope Finley is ok.

And somewhere millions of people are crying because they lost money betting on Dallas over GS.

in the end the game is played on the court.. anything could happen, like a bloody nose.

message to phx and the espn homers.. spurs are not the lakers... repeat .. the spurs are not the lakers....

[RonMexico]

He owns part of the Suns - did you expect he wouldn't back them?

He hasn't always - he didn't pick them in 2005 and he predicted the Spurs would take the Suns in 06 if they got past Dallas.

Easy Reason why those ( LEGENDS) Former players picked the Suns .. It's the Style of Play PHX plays.. Most of those Former players played in the 80's where games used to be 130 - 127 every night!

little respect for the Spurs in the NBA:

1999-asterisk*
2003-David's bad back, the Lakers were the favorites(for 4 peat).
2005-Duncan can't win a le without Robinson

what else is new?

[BigBeezie]

And just because you were a great player doesnt make you the best analyst either (Magic Johnson).

Yeah, Tragic Johnson needs to keep busy with his Starbucks franchises.

And technically Rick's opinion doesnt count as reliable..

[Aud21946]

I am surprised nobody saw How I put ( LEGENDS ) in Parenthesis.... I wouldn't count half that list as LEGENDS! But after reading USA Today and Commish Stern defend the fact the NBA doesn't re - seed .. I still think this series is a toss - up.

[Mr. Peabody]

I only referred to them as Legends because that's how NBA.com characterized them, hence the quotes.
