Suns remain confident despite series deficit

--Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni had some advice for despondent Suns fans ready to jump off buildings.

"Go ahead and jump," he said. "We've got six million people here. We're fine. It's a little overcrowded anyway."

Obviously he was joking, but D'Antoni is seriously confident despite his team being down 0-2 in the first-round series to their longtime nemesis, the San Antonio Spurs.

"I'm on the ledge with them," he said, "but I'm not going [to jump]. I'm going to crawl back in, and we're going to play Friday, and we're going to bust them up Friday. That is our mind set. We still don't have any doubt that we can win the series."

D'Antoni went on to say he might be crazy for thinking that, but he and his players believe they were their own worst enemy at critical times in the first two games of the series. Game 3 is tonight in Phoenix.
