    dont know, suns are destined to make this major matchup another game or so. This is the juice of the west right now and for it to end as early as tomorrow probably wont happen.

          Out of curiosity, what relevant data are you using when making this statement? And by "big Suns win" do you mean that either the Suns win by a large margin or lose by 4 or less? Or are you saying that any suns win would be considered a "big win"?

          Really, I see nothing to suggest that either side is a great play, but if pressed I like SA in this one. Again, these guys are professionals and everybody seems to be hanging their collective hat on the "Suns are simply better" and "Suns are in a must win" quasi-angles. What about the equally inane, but every bit as appropriate "Spurs NEED to close out now" and "Suns were also in a must win in game 3 and got blown out on their home court" arguments. Also, given the fact that the line in game 2 was Spurs -1.5, I find the line being set at -5 quite intriguing as it would seem to suggest that a) the Suns were overvalued initially (as opposed to the 'Suns got robbed angle') and b) even given the desperation factor involved, the oddsmakers still are raising the line, significantly, in the Spurs favor. Everything about this line seems to suggest that SA is the sharp side here, not that the "sharp side" is the right side, but given all I've seen this series, it's an added bonus here. I'll wait for SA -4 or so tomorrow, but I like the Spurs to close it out.

          SA, at home, rested and seemingly not bothered after a game 4 loss, is in a scary position. If they don't close out tomorrow, then we're looking at game 6 in Phoenix and an up for grabs game 7, with everyone in the league offices salivating over the possibility of the Spurs NOT being the West representative.

            Suns have got it done quietly for years. This year is no exception.

              If Suns pull the upset, this series will go the limit.
