^Jim, if Spurs and Pistons make the Finals, you need to start a thread at the begining of every game saying "Pistons are crushing the Spurs!"

1Parker1, I can not control my powers just yet, it just comes to me sometimes. It comes to me in the absence of malice or forethought, so I can not just indescriminently throw it around just for my own gain. It does seem rather odd that I can jinx a team with a simple post in FSP, but there are things that happen that we just do not understand. To paraphase Nietzsche, "The irrationality of a thing, is not argument against it's existence, rather a condition of it."
Actually I see a team like Phoenix killing Sacramento in the playoffs. It's all about the style of play. Sun's would just outscore the Kings everytime.
Shooting is fickle and not somthing that should be depended upon game after game in hopes of advancing. Without Amare and Thomas, the Suns don't get many inside points, which means their entire offense is based around the three (which is why they take almost 30 attempts a game), then the mid-range game.
The reason they have looked so inconsistant of late is their reliance on the shot for a win. If they aren't hitting, they may as well be a lottory team cause they aren't going to force missed shots, mostly hope and pray some don't go in, but even then, they'll struggle to get defensive rebounds.
Sacramento thought they had the game wrapped up early yesterday, stopped playing hard, which allowed the Suns to get a few easy baskets and their confidense back. Once a few perimeter jumpers went in, things snowballed until Sacramento ran out of options.
If they meet in the playoffs, this game will go a long way in determining the series. Maybe because they've seen how quickly things change when it didn't matter, they'll be more quick to play as hard as they can from start to finish?
We won't know until the series starts. Suns can win, but it will be a battle from game to game, maybe quarter to quarter.
i agree for the most part, but i don't think sacramento is consistent enough offensively to keep up with the suns of they have to... or have the personnel to defend the suns the same way the spurs do on a consistent basis. i just don't think sacramento matches up as well with phoenix as the spurs do. sac can score, but i don't think they wanna run and gun for 48 minutes in a 7 game series. if they can slow the game down enough they can win, but i don't think they have the horses to do it on a consistent basis.
Jim CS...Sacramento is killing Phoenix...
Funny, cause you'd think if anyone would appreciate that point it'd be Spurs fans. But we don't always.
While the best offense performing at its peak will best good defense, over seven games good defense is always more reliable.
Spurs fans don't necessarily have to be concerned at all about playing Sacramento in the first round, or for that matter the Lakers either. If the Spurs just drop to the fourth seed, they will play the Grizzlies or Clippers.
That's what everyone said about Phoenix vs. SA last yea in the playoffs, then look what happened.Actually I see a team like Phoenix killing Sacramento in the playoffs. It's all about the style of play. Sun's would just outscore the Kings everytime.
Phoenix still got theirs but got smoked. It's all about the D.
oh come on. You gonna compare Kings to Spurs now??? they are totally different. I would like to know who this 'everyone' who said this is?
But the D has not been up to Spurs' standards the past month. The last 2 games, the D has gotten better, but the Spurs have given up a higher percentage of shots made the last half of the season, compared to previous years. I hope they are coming around now.
those are the voices in AHF's head....
Absolutely.
About last night, though. Was I the only one who thought the Spurs defense wasn't really all that impressive, despite the low Seattle FG%? Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but Seattle seemed to still get into the lane at lot. They just shot horribly.
I agree that they got into the lane but I think the spurs were rotating much better and their defense in general was sharper. After the spurs blocked the first 6 or 7 attempts in the lane the the supersonics started to look elswhere more often.
I also noticed the spurs were much more active in the passing lane than they have been all year. That generated some good transition baskets.
As TD goes, the interior D goes. TD is healthy, therefore the D will be much better.
Whatever, Jimbo, just make sure you don't mess with our Spurs Mojo. Or else.1Parker1, I can not control my powers just yet, it just comes to me sometimes.
