It pains me to say this, we are the new PHO SUNS

how could you say that? its not even playoffs yet. too many whiners nowadays. I dont understand some people here. If the Spurs lose they have problems and if they win you still have problems? c'mon dont be a whiner. you couldn't ask any better win-lose than ours.

Spurs get destroyed by Kevin Love, lose to the Mavs, I shudder to think when we play the Lakers with Bynum


Spurs are the new Suns, let's enjoy the regular season before the heartbreak of the post season

Pop needs to trade Hill and other to bring a legit Center to SA if they are serious about a le. Oberto being 6/10>>>Dyse 6/9


think about it, our centers are 6ft 9inches and 6ft 7inches, and no one sees a problem? LMAO

I don't know about that "Spurs are the new Suns" tag, however I will agree that, outside of Duncan, the Spurs frontline is flawed and should be considered the proverbial "white elephant" in the room. The mere fact that Duncan is still having to carry the "lionshare" of the load on the frontline, is very troubling. Each one of the other bigs has at least one HUGE flaw or another. Flaws that prevent them from providing the steady, adequate contribution that can aid Duncan, on a night-to-night basis. This is something that the Spurs may be able to cleverly mask during the regular season against inferior opponents. However, it is bound to become exposed against teams like the Fakers, Mavs & Celtics, who all boast some of the more taller frontlines in the NBA.

Personally, I still have a vivid picture of the Suns running roughshod through the Spurs interior in their last playoff series. Similar to the way they were getting inside in the paint and to the rim last night. Splitter was supposed to help remedy this by riding "shotgun" with Duncan, but the jury is still out on him - for several reasons.

Duncan can no longer generate massive double-doubles on a nightly basis - and he shouldn't have to. However, for the Spurs to go deep in the playoffs, he must because the Spurs frontline is limited. The bottom line is Manu and TP can be their brilliant selves on the perimeter, Yet getting consistent production from Duncan will determine how far they go.

The Suns never had this guy:



They also didn't have a threat in the post-season outside of Amare and Nash. The Spurs were tailor-made to crush two-headed attacks in the post-season.

Also, Tony Parker knows how to play defense. Steve Nash never figured that part of the NBA out.

Mostly though, it's cause we have Duncan. And the man will still bring it in the real season.

CH with the goods

this has to be one of the top 10 dumbest threads I've ever read on ST

I don't understand why everyone thinks that the '04-'05 Suns was the best Phoenix squad of the decade. Last year's 2010 team would have killed that 2005 team (if such a thing were possible), regardless of Amare's athleticism.
