Somehow got a feeling (even though i'm a Spurs fan) that Phoenix is going to take this series. As someone said above, it took double OT to beat the Suns, even when Shaq and Amare were in foul trouble

Stunning use of hyperbole. Williams and Boozer look about the same as they did in last year's playoffs. Plus, Okur is definitely not a threat and has been plagued with inconsistency this year much like the rest of his career.

Duncan's regular season statistics weren't anything spectacular but he has started off the playoffs in top form. Although the Spurs did beat them in 6, they struggled with the Suns even on the game when Amare didn't play.

You are acknowledging duncan's stats vs one of the worst defensive teams in the league.

And again, the Jazz are not the same team as last year with an average margin of victory close to 8 a game with a retarded home record. Okur played like garbage early on, but like i said, after the all-star break, he has really picked it up A LOT. And this is vs a great defensive team in Rockets.

Are you trying to say D.Will and Boozer haven't gotten better since last year, or not enough to even acknowledge it? Please tell me you're joking.

...and the fact that he generally raises his offensive output in the playoffs. Did you take Washington's stellar defense into account when analyzing Lebron's game?

They're a whole 3 wins off their record last year, they're basically the same team. And Okur is averaging a whopping 10 points against the Rockets...not exactly what I would consider animal-like.

Williams had the best performance of any other point guard in the playoffs last year, IMO, and he's getting a similar start this year. Boozer was arguably the top power forward last year, just like he is this year. I don't see any difference.

Wow, went to sleep last night with Suns about 10 points to the good in the 2nd, woke up and never expected Spurs to have won that one

Hopefully Spurs steal one in Phoenix and close it in 5

I'm talking about over the course of the whole season...And 3 wins is a decent amount in a Western Conference that's been the best it has been arguably ever. Not to mention Okur was out for 10 games this season in which they lost 7 of the 10.

And Okur, I stated, started playing better after the all-star break. I'm taking a sample size of February to the Playoffs while you are judging his performance on 2 games. Regardless, he did post a 16 16 game which is promising against a good rebounding team in Houston.

LeBron's game wasn't spectacular in the sense of his offensive output, but rather the clutch shots, and near triple double.

How the Raptors can go from playing great half way through the season, making shots, playing defense and winning. To having TJ ford whine like a little fucking baby, and play no defense at all is beyond me.

Seriously can't wait till this season is over so we can trade TJ ford and get some fucking defense on this team.

Maybe they will also let Jason actually play some minutes finally since he is the only bright spot so far. instead of benching the best three point shooter in the league for most of the game.

I really lose so much sleep after games like the last 2. I can handle the spurs coming out and just beating us all night. But 11 Fucking points in the 3rd. 0-18 in the first 18 trips up the floor. All i want is one god damn ring, and Ill be fine. Greedy bastard Spurs. And im serious, the Spurs can win this thing again. The team is just used to winning.

Ok: venting is over.
