    The Spurs play the Suns very well. I bet they come out on top again tonight. Don't kick dirt on the Spurs yet.

    We still wouldn't be #3 percentage wise. The Spurs have more wins than us.

    Spurs really know how to play the Suns. Ginobili is killing the suns. It appears that speed kills Suns too.

    even if the spurs lose, they're still ahead of the rockets by 3 wins.

    let's say they lose against the suns, miami are the only foreseeable bump in the road for them this month.

    rockets have a harder schedule against teams like minny, dallas twice, kings and miami.

    You kill the Suns by getting back on defense and taking away their easy baskets. They feast off of fast break layups, wide open 3s and Nash's passing. No team in the NBA suffers a bigger dropoff on offense when they face tough defensive teams than the Suns. Nobody! That's why they are 0-6 or 0-8 against the Spurs, Mavs, Lakers and Jazz this season. I'm not saying the Suns are mirage, but in a focused, 7 game series against a good team they will struggle.

    On offense, you kill the Suns by being efficient and taking advantage of their poor team defense. I know they get fast break layups after made shots, but relatively few. The Suns feast off of rebounding missed jumpers because that's like pulling a trigger for their fast break.

    Can you imagine what it is like if Manu Ginobili plays for Suns? OMG, it will be insane to watch.

    Ginobili really likes the running game.
