    Considering that there are 4 days in between Game 2 and Game 3. We all know how well the Spurs tend to play with a lot of time off (not well).

    Is this break a good one for the Spurs or a recipie for a sluggish Game 3? Is Game 2 as important as Game 1 was?

    Win the game and really put the Suns in a hole. This Suns are too good and too explosive. One bad defensive game in this series and it can spin right back into the Suns' favor.

    If Suns go down 0-2 in PHX, the series is over.

    Game2 is do-or-die for Suns.

    The Spurs know it, the Suns know it, Stern knows it (and hates it).

    Suns are great, except when they play the SPAM/playoff Spurs.

    Ergo, most of the pressure will be on the Suns, no?

    Very important because we make this series similar to the 05 series against the Suns, and that, as everybody knows, will assure a Spurs victory.

    (whatever the that means. I'm drunk right now, celebrating )

    I agree with all of the other posts.

    This is the most important game of the year for both teams.

    We have to think just like Doug Collins talked about in 05 when Denver won game 1. He said that you have to expect the opposing team to come in and take 1 game in your building. You must treat this next game as a game you must have when you don't have homecourt advantage (as we didn't when we started this series).

    Every game during the playoffs is important.

    But not every game is equally important.

    This failure to recognize this distinction led to Dallas trying to play every game of the regular season (except the last week) with the intensity of a game 7 playoff series. You can't do that and win the le. Witness Detroit last year and Dallas this year.

    It's not a given but if the Spurs go up 2-0 and the Suns have to win twice in SA...it could really shorten this series.

    Nothing to celebrate. This just means that we are in the series and compe ive.

    Is it not quite possible that Phoenix could come in here and steal a game?

    It seems very possible.

    Rule of Product: Multiply the probability of each outcome.

    (e.g. if 60 % chance Spurs win game 3 and 60 % chance Spurs win game 4, there exists only a 36 % chance Spurs win both games 3 and 4).

    If the Spurs win the next three games, they stand an excellent chance of taking this series.

    In fact, the tree diagram would show us that it would be a fait accompli (spelling help ).

    First team to four victories. It gives us four victories.

    Voila.

    More important to Phoenix, obviously. They lose and you can start printing WCF playoff tickets in SA.

    It was too bad that Nash got hurt and was not able to play the last minute, but whether that made a difference or not, that is unclear. So, Nash will come out with fire on Tuesday and he will probably make sure they win, one way or another.


    I really like the guy and if SA loses to them, I will root for him to get the ring.....How sweet would that be to see Mark Cuban have to chew on that for a few years?

    Si ganemos el proximo partido, seria tiempo para comenzar el motor del barco porque es tiempo para los Soles de ir a pescado.

    Pretty close. I'm pretty sure it's "fait accompli". Yes, I was making a "Doug Collinsism".

    the way i see it, if its still a close game, and we lose, nothing to worry. if the suns blow us out in game 2, i would start to worry.

    Thank you.

    I think you are right.

    He is pretty good as an analyst. Hubie Brown annoys me less than he used to.

    It's critical to the Suns and icing on the cake for us.

    If the Suns blow the Spurs out in game 2, expect to see Oberto and Elson on the bench for the remainder of the series.

    Right?

    The Spurs should play Game 2 like they're down 0-1 instead of up one.
    The fact is, the Suns are just as capable of winning in S.A. as we are of winning there. And you'd rather give yourself every margin of error in this series as you can....Get greedy, Spurs!!!
