So quick to jump on the spurs, but when the suns lose a game its a fluke.
You must have me confused with someone else. This season, I have not said the Spurs suck. The only mention I have made of them was to contest your assertion that they are "#1."
Joe Johnson will be back before this series ends. Mike D\'Antoni may switch back to using Leandro Barbosa as backup pointguard to Steve Nash. That was working well in the last 1/3 of the regular season. There are many substitution configurations available which will suffice until Joe returns.
Home court advantage is a meaningless statement because it was only available to Phoenix if the series went 7 games in the first place. It would be a failure, and far too risky to let the series go that far anyway, so "home court advantage" is an utterly stupid thing to call an advantage.
The Suns have been rising to every challenge this season, and they will rise to this one. They have more heart, more determination, and more killer instinct than Dallas. So let it be written, so let it be done.
