Obviously, it's pretty much must-win for both teams. I don't like our chances at all, and we've been killed when the other team gets a suspension. It's a bad outlook no matter what, Spurs have to go uphill no matter what happens.
assuming amare does NOT get suspended.
as marc stein said "if there ever was such thing as a team having the lead with the series at 2-2, the Suns might have it"
Game 4 might have cost us the entire series

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.
realistically we are still the favorites. we controlled most of the series. we really choked last night. But Dallas choked for 2 games when we played them last year and they still came up on top.
Spurs in 6.
not good. not good at all, my friends.
I predict whoever wins 4 games first will win the series.
i just feel it.
When were we killed when the other team got a suspension? We won Game 2 against the Kings last year and Game 6 against the Mavs after the Terry suspension. What games are you referring to?
I expect Michael Finley to have a huge game ; remember last year's game 6 @ Dallas ? he was booed everytime he had the ball, but he was on fire.
I think the Spurs have a decent chance. It'll probably resemble last night's game, but hopefully the Spurs can hit their shots late and keep Duncan on the floor the entire fourth. Just need breaks! I do believe that the Spurs will play their asses off tomorrow night and will not get flustered by Phoenix's crowd. It should be an incredible game.
really? how so? your wins were close, single digit wins and you have a 20 pt loss and a devestating loss from last night. not exactly "controlling" anything if you ask me.
i believe we will win. i feel like last years loss to dallas is really going to motivate us to not let another chance slip away.
No ifs about it.
Amare will be suspended...end of discussion.
i'd say 50-50 because spurs don't usually get fazed by opposing team's crowds, in fact, they might play better with more noise considering that the spurs crowd tends to be not quite as raucous but then again that crowd will be nutz and suns play well at home too...if amare is out, i'd still say 50-50 but the x factor will be marion who has had really big games without amare in the lineup.
I was wondering the same thing.
I suggest you watch the games, then post.
We controlled most of game 1. we controlled the first half of game 2. we controlled half of game 3. we controlled most of game 4.
Finley will silence their crowd ; he'll have a great game
Realistically? 100%.
What can I say, I'm optimistic.
Manu will make a huge difference tomorrow as well.
I think the Spurs have a good chance!
Pops needs to let the starters play and quit "baby-ing" their minutes.
The Spurs need to close out each quarter strong.
The bench better show up like never before -- I hope Manu, Barry and Finley can find their groove!
I say Spurs win by 5
According to my calculations, they have a 75.39378291% chance of winning.
Yes, must win for both teams, Spurs winning Game5, then bringing it back to SA is very dangerous for Suns. Suns winning Game5, gives them 2 more games to get 1, very dangerous for Spurs.
As history shows, it sure looks like the winner of Game5 will win the series.
Keep in mind that three of the four games have been halfcourt, grind it out affairs that the Spurs want. You guys have controlled the tempo for the most part, controlled the boards, etc. You had Game Four locked up until Duncan went out with his fifth foul. From that point on, it was pretty much all Phoenix. Pop should've just left him in there until fouling out.
i guess "controlling" doesn't amount to winning then. so its irrelevant. i'd give you guys a 15 % chance of winning if amare is playing. that's being generous since i really think that the suns are gonna close this series out.
