The Suns are a great road team and has to win this game to keep up with the Spurs who lead this series 2-0. Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire will be ready for this one and will go off. I think these two along with great play from Shawn Marion will be to much for the Spurs to handle. Also, Joe Johnson will be back which will add some firpower to the Suns lineup. I think that Manu Ginobili will have a good game but it won't be enough for the Spurs to win. Steve nash will put up another MVP performance with 23 points and 12 assists. Amare Stoudemire will have 34 points and 9 rebounds. Tim Duncan will have 20 points and 11 rebounds in a losing effort. <font color="black"><u><font size="3">Swish15's Predicted Score</font></u></font> <font color="purple">Suns-114</font> <font color="black">Spurs-108</font> <font color="purple">WINNER:</font>
The Suns have a tough task ahead of them in beating the Spurs on the road. The Spurs went 38-3 at home during the regular season, and have lost just once at home during the playoffs. The Suns are a great road team, but beating the Spurs on the road is a big challenge for any team. If Joe Johnson plays, his return should help the Suns out considerably. Spurs 115 Suns 111.
I don?t see the Suns winning game 3, just because of how good the Spurs have been playing they usually use their home crowd to go on those 8-0 runs but they did it in Phoenix and won two, The only way i see the Spurs losing is by killing them self?s missing freethrows,turnovers,missing wide open lay-ups, but if the spurs are making all of those its going to be a short but sweet series. Predictioin for game 3: SPURS <font color="Purple">Suns</font>-105 <font color="Gray">Spurs</font>-111
I really cant see the Suns to win the game today. Yeah, JJ is back, but it's too late. If this game plays in Phoenix, the Suns might got a chance, but it's playing in SA. Yeah, Suns is having the best record when playing away, how about Spurs? They are having a great record playing in front of the home court. The Suns held Spurs tight during the first two games, yet the Spurs were able to start some runs in the last quarter and won the game. Horry and Barry showed what is called experience to the Suns. Duncan, Ginobili, Parker showed the Suns they can score, like what the Suns can do. If the Suns want to win the game, 2 options: injured TD right after the jump off, or triple team TD. The Suns able to won the series over the Mavs because they have easy post-up game against Dampier, they just walked over him and won the games. But it's a different story against the Spurs. Experience, Offense, Defense...you name it, the Spurs have it. Duncan is totally different to Dampier. If you let him gets the ball, he can score; if you double team him, he can make some great pass. Spurs is just too much for the Suns, way too much. If the Spurs can make the FT, keep the ball and with the home crowed playing as the 6th player on the court, it's a 99.9% 3-0 tonight. They must not feel over-confidence. They must think that the Suns can do it, must remember what happened last year, must learnt the lessons against Sonics and play hard for these 2 games. Spurs fans, get your broom ready, the Spurs is going to sweep the Suns. Prediction: Spurs 115 Suns 108 hope i'm correct, i'm putting 200 bucks on Spurs win this game by 6

This was a great game and the Spurs played great. It looks like they will be moving onto the Finals after their domination of the Suns.
