San Antonio, Are You Ready to Welcome the crybabies on Monday??

[phyzik]

Spurs by 7

[BonnerDynasty]

It's only December boys, nobody is out for revenge. We were without Amare all of 2006 and made it to the Western Conference Finals. How about sitting Duncan for the rest of the year and seeing how far San Antonio goes?

It's a stupid comment.

Hey Lakers, sit Kobe and you are nothing!111!!!1

Hey Suns, sit Nash and you are nothing!!1111!!!


It's like no , that is why we have built an entire team all around THEM.

[milkyway21]

I wish the Spurs would play to win for this game. We are going to have a viewing party here in phoenix for this game and i would love to rub it in their noses when Manu torches them for 40 pts.

that's over the top.

Grant has not gel well yet with the team they say, but this could be it. He had a 4Q surge when they beat NY the other day.

Marion is back to being impressive on the boards ave. 11 rpg/15 vs. NY, I hope Elson can contribute more in this area bec. Duncan playing or not, will not be 100%.

BTW, you still in the N.J.? who's going to accept that DVD I sent you?

Interesting that this game is the only one of their meetings not on national tv.

Why? Seems pretty obvious to me. Stern definately doesn't want to bring up the fact that last years playoffs were tarnished. Think their first meeting will attract any attention from the media?

I'd be suprised if NBA.com doesn't "forget" to list this game in its schedule.

This is just the stupidest 'theory' ever. What else is 'obvious' to you ?

Here's my theory. Monday....Night.....Football. So you know ESPN isn't going to show it.

Any word on whether Parker and Duncan will play on Monday? The game won't be as fun to watch if either team is shorthanded.

[m33p0]

after all the crap they put out last season about that series, i just want the spurs to bring the smackdown on them just to shut them up. failing that, i'll settle for more whining.

Regardless of who wins, it doesn't change anything that happened last year.

If the Suns win on Monday, does that mean they would have beaten the Spurs had Stoudemire and Diaw not been suspended?

Parker is doubtful. Duncan is ready to play. he's been ready to play since golden state but pop wouldn't let him.

Typical quote from a Suns fan! (da_suns)


How were they tarnished? 1) The Suns' players DEFINETELY broke the rules; 2) Despite that with their over-hyped 2X MVP, the PSEUDO 6th man of the year + the legend of his own mind, Marion they were leading in the 4th in game 5 AT HOME and choked; 3) Horry missed two games (unprecented for such a minor hard foul) yet the Spurs thumped them anyway in game 6.

Not tarnished - the over-hyped and very soft mentally Suns were owned, like always. The Suns are nothing but the Kings of the last decade - soft.

Spurs, IMO, will NOT play to win this. Phoenix is Pop's best hope for a trip to the Wine Country in February. This is a two game swing.

I'm pretty sure da_suns_fan is. DannyB too wherever he is. And Shred too.

Does it still count as a vendetta if the...vendettee doesn't give a about the "vendetta?"

No, but people like that are in their own little world so who knows.

D'Antoni can't coach the West this year because he coached the team in 2007.

If Pop doesn't want to coach the West at the All-Star game, he's going to have to figure out a way to give back 4 full games to the Mavs by late January.

[Sweetey]

Hope dantooni brings plenty of Kleenex for he and his CRYBABIES !!

Keep me honest, FWD.

Which means Spurs REALLY can't afford to win this one.

DannyB? After that meltdown some weeks past?

Shred's still probably hunting up some new Mario Lopez picture to play with.

As for d_s_f? He's been pretty... quiet the past several days, hasn't he?

[Tigole Bitties]

Oberto goes 11/11 from the field to offset Jacque Vaughn's 1/14 shooting.

who you think will guard Nash? ->Horry?

[RussN]

I agree, nothing that happens in this game will change anything that happened last year. FWIW, I think there is very little sense in Phoenix that this game is somehow revenge or payback time for last year. It's a tough game, and a good test, but that's basically it.

I hope TD and TP play, although it would be amusing to read all about how a Spurs loss to the Suns without two starters wasn't really a fair game . . . .

Don't get me wrong, we love to win regular season games, but there is a bigger prize out there, and to get that you have to win playoff games. I would rather sit Tony and Tim now if they need it and have them healthy for later down the road, obviously a concept that D'Antoni knows little about. I'm surprized Grant Hill is still standing even at this point.

[milkyway21]

Suns signing Nash - > short...

Suns signing Bell to stop Manu->short...

Suns bringing Hill...let's see.

[yourcheatinheart]

bring on the es!!!
