NBA Playoffs Monday [B]704 Phoenix -3.5[/B]
Now that the number has come down we are getting involved with the Suns here. If the Spurs G Manu Ginobili doesn't play out of his mind, (and IMO he is one of the most underrated players in the NBA) Phoenix will prevail tonight and in the series. Phoenix is the better team, has the better bench, has home-court advantage, Jason Richardson is the X factor (hitting 51% from three point land) and I see the Suns running the Spurs off the court.
Yes, the Spurs have dominated Phoenix in the playoffs in the past, and that is motivation/incentive for the home team. To quote our good friend Ritchie B "that's ancient history!."
