Realistically, what are our chances to win game 5?

[Mr. Body]

I'll take the Spurs. They're still the better team, in my mind, and only didn't show up for one game - Game Two, when they did their usual crap game they do in every compe ive series. They just choked yesterday.

But we should all remember this team is two years removed from their last championship and isn't the same team, and last night places some doubt that they don't have the toughness they used to have.

San Antonio has controlled the tempo in this series and played the halfcourt game they've wanted. They only lost last night because of Duncan's fifth foul. That's when the Suns made their run. For three and a half quarters the game unfolded the way San Antonio wanted it to. Spurs in 6, assuming both squads are at full strength.

Indeed, the one obvious lesson so far is that if TD gets in foul trouble (gm 2 and 4), the Spurs lose. If he doesn't the Spurs win. The key I think is the refs - he only gets in foul trouble when Nash gets some very questionable charge calls. If the refs get all ticky-tack, I think the Suns have a better chance.

If Amare is not suspended? I say 50-50. Yes the Suns will have confidence but the Spurs will have an angry Tim Duncan to counter. IMO it could go either way. One thing I'm sure of though is that the winner of Game 5 wins the series.

Not.

it all depends on whose suspended
