Will Joe Johnson's return make a difference?

[tlongII]

This is why I said that the Spurs and their fans should hope that Phoenix closes out Dallas in 6 games. This gave SA their best opportunity to win a game in Phoenix.

My credibility?

You guys don't know me, I could care less about my credibility.

Nothing I said was exaggerated about JJ. Everything my opinion is based on is statistical fact. Whether it be the rankings from cbssportsline or nba.com.

You just can't underestimate a starting shooting guard's importance. No matter which team. Doesn't matter who the player or what team he plays for.

If a team has a nice backup who fills in nicely that's great. But he is the backup for a reason.

Just like any and every team in the NBA. Take out a starter and the team is at a loss. No matter what the importance the guy is to the squad.

A team has stars and role-players. Suns have Nash, Amare and ...ok, Marion as Stars, Spurs have Duncan, Manu and Parker, if one of those guys is down, then yes it makes a huge difference. But if one of your role-players is down, the whole point of having a team is that someone else will step-up. My point is that JJ is a role-player and someone else in the Suns needs to step up, they should not depend on that guy coming back and even if he does, playing anywhere close to 100%.

Please stop making lame excuses. Everyone at this point is fatigued/hurt, it's who wants to win the most who will prevail.

What do you except from a loser?

[AZLouis]

Why are you calling that guy a loser? Because he is a Blazer's fan? Or do you know who he is?

If you stick around after the spurs beat the suns and talk about how bad the spurs are, I'll call you a loser too. For now, welcome aboard.

They are homers, that's why. I don't see the Spurs winning another game in Phoenix...luckily for them they don't have to.

perfect example. those who receive sometype of perverted pleasure from other people's failures is nothing but a loser. Winners just care about themselves and don't hope for others to lose.

Unfortunately I have no idea what this means. Bummer.

doesn't surprise me.

[Rummpd]

Dear Blazer Fan - lets get this straight.

Suns have not beat Spurs this year with a Duncan on floor, now 0 and 3. Spurs toyed with Suns defense in a game (one) that the Spurs always have a problem with in a series.

Why are you confident about this Suns team? = they are the Kings lite (not as much depth) or maybe the ghost of Portland wannabees of years past.

Spurs will win again Tues - mark it down.

[td4mvp21]

tlong, weren't you SO SURE that the Spurs would lose to the Nuggets and Sonics?

[AZLouis]

That's funny. You are calling someone a loser because the team they root for loses.

But thank you for the welcoming to your world.

Isnt' that what you were doing by call tlong a loser and promising to call me one.

[Extra Stout]

AZLouis, you don't need to be forum etiquette police.

[Spurminator]

Especially over Tlong.

[tlongII]

tlong, weren't you SO SURE that the Spurs would lose to the Nuggets and Sonics?

Actually I predicted that the Spurs would beat both the Nuggets and the Sonics. I just like to flick you guys a little crap to see the responses.

You can't read. Now I understand why you think JJ=Manu, you're dumb.

[T Park]

2 cents, lay the off and chill out.


AZ, I disagree with you thinking JJ=Manu, but I welcome you wholeheartedly.

Youve brought nothing but objective good takes so far.

[T Park]

BTW, just announced that Joe Johnson is OUT for game 2.

Once again, Spurs have to take advantage.

Once again, reminds you of Derek Anderson in 00-01.....

[bonesinaz]

I knew it. He is worse than most people thought here. He was interviewed on Sunday and said he didn't have any pain.....that was either a lie or he had some good drugs.

[GrandeDavid]

You guys are running lots of smack. I'm not predicting anything, but will look forward to Game 2. Phoenix will be ready, that's for sure.

[AZLouis]

T Park thanks man.

The guy just loves his team. Can't blame him.

You are right the Spurs have a great chance to take another game. If down 2, the Suns will have their backs to the wall and that would be a hard deficit to overcome.

If they can get the victory though, things will get interesting. That's what I am looking forward to.

If you guys had a chance to watch the series against the Mavs that was a great series to watch.

[foodie2]

If you guys had a chance to watch the series against the Mavs that was a great series to watch.

I think that most of us here felt that that series was more painful to watch than anything else. After watching good defense all year, many of us found the matador defense on both ends was kind of boring, despite the scoring.
