    Bulls and Suns lead the point differential stat ranking with +11.0 and +10.4, respectively. The Spurs are sixth with +6.0 just behind the Warriors at +6.66.

    Is this a good indicator of things to come?

    Suns do score when allowed and Lakers don't disallow.

    Bulls had a weak-ass opponent.

    The recent past is a good indicator of things to come:

    April 5: Spurs 95 - Suns 87

    vs Suns this season, Manu scored 32 and Tony scored 29 and 35.

    Spurs will wipe the Suns with solid defense and, more-than-sufficient offense from Tony and Manu inside, and Manu, Michael, and Brent outside.

    The April 5 game was Spurs 92 - Suns 85... which actually was a close game which could have gone either way until the final minutes (having to foul to manage the clock extended the lead).

    What about the Feb 1 game? That was more of a blowout: Suns 103 - Spurs 87. That was not a game that could have gone either way. Suns held the Spurs to 38.6 FG% with its defense while itself having only a 44.0 FG%. How many such blowouts do you think we'll see this series?

    That's how the playoffs are. Who's going to take your late shots? Horry and Manu are clutch as , and if the Suns leave the game in reach, they'll reach out and ing take it from them.

    As for the Feb 1 game, Spurs played their worst ball of the year from 1 jan until probably 13 Feb, when they started a B2B win going into the ASG weekend. They were 11-13 over that stretch.

    Where can I find the Spurs' and the Suns' Win-Loss count from Feb 14 forward in games decided by 9 points or less? Can you recommend any b-ball stat sites?

    The Feb game you need to throw out because the Spurs were a mess then. The team you saw in their last game together is the Spurs team you are getting in this series.

    No, the Suns blew us out. Even on the b2b's, Spurs were a tough challenge. However, we were not playing our best. Neither were the Suns when we played them earlier in the year. The best indicator was the last game because both teams were relatively healthy and playing the best ball of the season compared to when they met two other times. This is the playoffs and the regular season does not always count, but if you're looking for the best indicator the last meeting would be it.

    I just looked at the Spurs web site, schedule section. I remembered that they were 10-10 in Jan, but hadn't realized that they started Feb 1-3.

    There are some stat heads here that may be able to point you to a site for the info you want.

    "I remembered that they were 10-10 in Jan"

    13-12 between Jan 20 (20-6) and 11 Feb (33-18)

    25-6 the rest of the way.

    The Nuggets would sweep the Lakers so you can pretty much throw any playoff stats out the window at this point.

    It's all about matchups. Playoff stats mean nothing.


    Hopefully, the Spurs use their matchup advantages and force Phoenix into a half court game with the majority of the running coming from the Spurs following Phoenix turnovers.

    Probably none--I think all the games will be fairly close.
