    Spurs -4 is the best bet of the playoffs
    No doubt they take this.

    Sweeps are reserved for teams like the Hawks and Bobcats, not a 4-time champion team with a solid veteran core.

    There's far too much pride for this Spurs team to get swept on their home court, and Pap isn't going to lose to Gentry again. You're also not getting another unmatched 30 point quarter from Dragic.

    Playoff History tells us time and again how hard it is to close-out a team and beat them 4 times in a row. In 08, Suns were in the Spurs spot and were down 3-0 but blew-out the Spurs on their home court to force game 5, will happen again.

    Game 3 was a must win for the Spurs. Pride doesn't even matter at this point. Spurs needed to win game 3 and couldn't do it, and nothing tells me the suns won't run them out of the gym again. They just looked TIRED and SLOW. Especially that big tall guy with droopy puppy eyes.

      I really want to agree, but it wouldnt surprise me one bit if the Spurs lost this game by 13pts.

      Saying that, I think they win by 10+

        Yes, but do you think they will let it happen twice? Suns will need a 4th straight solid performance and the Spurs a 4th straight shitty one; it's just not likely.

        Show me one series in history where it was thought to go 6 or 7 but ended up in a sweep. It never happens between two good teams.

            Maybe...just think intuitively for a second if you see this series being a sweep and if the NBA wants it to be a sweep. Not a chance.

                  SBR jinx is strong. Very strong. Every time you see "lock" or "play of my life" or "all in", that team's fvcked.

                      So wait, if I thought this but never posted it, it would have been fine, but because I did post it, it's "jinxed"?

                      I want to see some studies on the "science of the jinx" and how the jinx signals are emitted from the internet and picked up by the teams so they know to fulfill the jinx.

                        Guys, we have a counter-jinx too. If only Diesel can get on and post an "all-in Suns" thread it would be sure cash.

                                  Expert recap and game analysis of the Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA game from May 9, 2010 on ESPN.


                                  Feels like this was yesterday.

                                  Lakers, Spurs: parallel - extending in the same direction, equidistant at all points, and never converging or diverging.

                                  96% ML, 72% side on LAL in store for another Mother's Day "no way this veteran team gets swept" Burial.
