Is is possible?  Yes.  Will it happen? No.  I am talking about a comeback from 3-0 and making history.  Good game, but you almost expected this.  The Suns are too inconsistent and if they are risking their playoff lives on whether Boris Diaw will show up 4 games in a row...enough said.  Too bad the Suns don't fly commercial because they could have racked up some frequent flyer miles.

I agree.  Digging yourself out of a 3 -0 game hole is just too big to overcome, especially against the battle tested Spurs.  Like you said, depending on Boris Diaw or Raja Bell as a key to victory won't get the job done.  Big games from Nash, Stoudemire, and O'Neal should dictate whether or not you win.

I don't think anyone saw a complete sweep of the Suns by the Spurs.  The Suns have way too many all-stars and high-caliber players to lose four straight to any team.  As for the series, the Spurs will finish the job at home.  If, surprisingly, it goes back to Phoenix, Greg Popovich will get his vets attention and they'll pull out game six in easy fashion.  No more than six for the Suns.  Steve Nash has no chance on Tony Parker unless they keep someone quick on him.  The Spurs' defense is far too dominant to let a team score 100 points on them in successive nights.  Sorry Shaq, but this championship you're dreaming of won't come in 2008.

If it was any other team but the Spurs, maybe the wily veterans of the Suns could pull some miracle.

But the Spurs are too tested and too well coached.

maybe a relative newcomer like the Hornets might not know how to hold a 3-0 lead...maybe...but the defending champs won't likely fall apart 4 in a row...

Anything is possible...the Suns are an older veteran talented team with pride...but...

Barring unforeseen injuries, this series will most likely end sooner than later.

If the Suns played defense this series might be knotted at 2.  I highly doubt the Suns are going to steal a page from the Red Sox' play book on how to come back from 3-0.

There is a lot of pressure on the Spurs in game 5.  I wouldn't want to go back to Phoenix for a game 6.

too late, Suns...

if there is one team who will NOT allow this type of comeback, its the Spurs.
