Samstag geht´s los, und wie!
Hier das Statement aus dem Phoenix Suns Newsletter:
It's Payback Time!
The Suns get a chance to repay the Spurs when the arch rivals meet up once again, this time in the opening round of the 2008 NBA Playoffs. The best-of-seven series tips off this Saturday in San Antonio (Noon, ABC) with Game 2 set for Tuesday, before the series returns to Phoenix for Games 3 and 4.
The NBA's marquee matchup is a rematch of last year's dramatic Semifinals, in which the Spurs eliminated the Suns, 4-2, in controversial fashion. This year's Suns squad looks a little different than last year's, however, with the team's blockbuster trade for All-Star center Shaquille O'Neal. Phoenix won both regular season meetings with the Spurs following the trade, including a 96-79 road victory on April 9.
"Now, you know, I think you'll see a different team then when we went down there last time. Those guys are Champions and they'll be ready," Suns Head Coach Mike D'Antoni said. "So it will be a knock-down, drag-out kind of affair, and we've got our work cut out for us and they do to."
