The past three games have exposed flaws at both ends.
It all depends on how badly the Spurs want it. Right now, I'd say the Suns have the advantage in any series, based on how effectively Shaq plays against Duncan, and how bad the Spurs bench is right now.
Also, based on the way these two teams have played each other this year, it really seems like the Suns want it more than the Spurs do. Last night was a must-win game for both teams (as far as seeding goes), and the Spurs came out in the 2nd half with half the hunger that the Suns displayed.
I know the Spurs have owned us for awhile now, but this is the first year where I've felt really good about our chances against your team.
I'll say Suns in 7.

Fixed it for ya...
YES, WITHOUT A DOUBT WE CAN BEAT THEM!!! THE SPURS SIMPLY WANT TO AVOID THE MAVS IN THE 1ST ROUND AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT WAS TO LOSE LAST NIGHT AND STICK THE SUNS FOE BEING NUMBER 5, AND THE ROCKETS NUMBER 6...
GO SPURS!!! GO MANU!!!
personally i think pop is still trying to figure out who is gonna get 1-12 on the roster come playoff time. i've never seen pop raise the white flag as much as he's done in the last couple weeks. i think it's all strategy and i know the spurs will def be a beast in the post season.
Since when did this team give a hoot about the regular season? Do you guys remember how Denver used to beat us every single year until the postseason started, where we would run them the off the court?
Watch Parker play. He's going at half-speed. Pop told him to lay off to save his health for the playoffs. Not to mention that Pop NEVER tips his hand before the real season begins.
Spurs in 6. Again. If they play each other.
Umm, didn't your mighty Suns just get -slapped at home by Dallas a few DAYS ago?
The question should be: Can the Suns beat the Spurs in seven? 'Cuase they haven't yet.
Memo to all the spurs fans: Stop worring so much 'bout regular season games. It's like you don't know your team.
Well, given that Duncan and Ginobili are playoff gods, not to mention Horry and Parker have done okay at times, I would say we still have the advantage. The problem for Spurs fans is that the advantage seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer. It's not easy to win 4 playoff series like that.
sounds like a .500 team to me.
how disappointing. i think that the spurs are still potentially capable of being as good or better than last year, yet i wonder if that is enough to keep up with the rest of the league. i still Believe, but if for some reason they don't win the championship, we have a lot of cap space to play around with this summer. sometimes spurs fans talk as if this is the only season we'll be able to compete in, and we have to win now. we still have tim, which makes us contenders now, and for many seasons to come. we can't win them all, but we can win most of them.
I have a feeling this question will be answered sooner than later. With a deadlock for spots #2-6, Manu's injury, I think the Suns move up to #3 and Spurs move down to #6. There's only a 1 loss difference between #2-#6.
The Manu injury is a huge, huge blow. Probably will have to asterik* the Sunday game versus the Lakers...damn! I was looking forward to this game with both teams at full strength.
the season can end like this:
1. Hornets
2. Lakers
3. Jazz
4. Suns
5. Spurs
6. Rockets
7. Mavs
or
1. Hornets
2. Lakers
3. Suns
4. Jazz
5. Rockets
6. Spurs
No.
Suns would win in 6.
It will be a repeat of the series against Dallas in '06. The Spurs will have to fight tooth and nail to even force a game seven at this point. And that's if the referees call a fair series. If the Suns get all the calls, we have no chance.
Thats prob true, against Dallas, Phoenix, New Orleans.
Not really seeing it, the Spurs have less intensity on their side since they won the championship, while Phoenix knows Nash isn't getting younger and are on a role.
No, PHX is the most dangerous team in westren confrence believe it or not...
I believe it.
Sarcasm, i like it....
Wrong.
Spurs win it 4 if they play like they should.
Last year, I put the Suns chance in the Spurs' series at 20-30%. This year, I'd give the Suns 70% chance to win against Spurs in PO. The main reason for this confidence is that Suns can cover TD with Shaq, while the paint is harder to penetrate for Parker and Manu with Shaq in the middle.
Get the same refs who "gave" away last years series, yes...the Spurs will win. But this is a different Spurs team. They're barely over .500 (21-18) on the road, that's not going to get it done.
They'll make it out of the first round but that's it. The playoffs last until December it seems.
Oh God, these posts again?! As I've always told EVERYONE with negative remarks, WAIT AND SEE. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
Here's my list of the most difficult Spurs opponents:
Hornets - they are going to the WCF.
Suns - they match up well with us, Shaq was a good addition in that it forces people to play Amare one-on-one, which is impossible.
Lakers - Will love to face the Spurs in the playoffs again.
And, with the Spurs luck, we'll have to face these three teams to make it to the Finals...
against a very good Celtic team.
Let's not pull any punches: These are the most difficult Playoffs I've ever seen.
