    It will start at 3:30 pm et, on abc.

    I think SAS is a better team now, but the league may not want PHX to be out of playoffs picture this early.

    I hope the Suns will win. Not sure though, is Manu playing?

    Am I the only person tired that every single Suns/Spurs game seems to be on national TV?

    Same thing for the Spurs/Mavs.

    No. Manu is probably out of at least another week.

    I hope the suns win, its obvious that the suns aren't going to make the playoffs unless Dallas chokes, or Suns get on a hot streak which is highly unlikely.

    Suns-Spurs is a great rivalry, although I hesitate to call it that since the Spurs own the Suns. Still they've met in the playoffs 3 of the past 4 years, and they feature a number of players that casual fans know. I don't get to watch every game, but I am definitely going to tune in to this one.

    I still remember when the suns got ****ed over by Stern back in the day. While I'm not a spurs fan, I'm not a phoenix fan either. As a general fan, anyone could see that was a load of ****.

    Geez. Thinking about it now, how did we ever get Stern and Selig for the commissioners of major American sports?

    Stern has pussified the game up and has set new lows for reffing standards and you can't talk back about Stern's crap because you'll be "fined". Selig is an easy enough explanation.

    Tony Parker is unstoppable against the D-less Suns. As Jon Barry said, He would be the best PG in the league if he played the Suns every night.

    Cmon Suns...you wanna stay in the playoffs.

    I really want the Suns to get the 8th and play the Lakers. They have a shot at beating the Lakers actually without Bynum...it's a slim shot but Shaq owns any one the Lakers put to guard him without Bynum and the Lakers still play no defense and can get caught up with the Suns run and gun style.

    The only way to beat the Lakers in a playoff series is to get physical, knock them off-balance and play tough defense. The Lakers would LOVE to play the Suns in the 1st round because it's the easiest 4-0 sweep they could ask for. The Suns just don't have enough talent on their roster without Amare.

    Yeah, I'm sure the league sent a memo out to the refs to let the Suns win. :rolleyes:
    :D

    Yeah... the league has really helped PHX against SA in the past haven't they... lol.

    SA has probably gotten the most help from the league over the last 10 years, whether its media, officiating, everything.... they have had the full support of the NBA.

    I hope the Suns lose ... the Rockets' playoff hopes aren't exactly completely secure.

    I don't think that is true. Otherwise, the spurs wouldn't never won b2b title.

    BTW, I hope the spurs win this game because that means our beloved rockets are closer to lock a playoff spot.

    If we win our division, we get HCA almost automatically.. and maybe even a better seed.

    I still believe the Spurs get the most treatment in the league today along with the Celtics and Lakers.
