Spurs in 7, this will be a hell of a series, but I think the Spurs are the better team, and can shut down Suns defensively as they have in the past, Spurs in 7, Manu will play big!!
I'm a die hard Sun's fan, and they are playing good. They have a great bench and good chemistry... but to say there gonna get past the Spurs is unrealistic. Nash can't stay in front of Parker, and Amare can't hang with Duncan. I think Grant Hill and the Suns bench will do their part defensively but Nash refuses to grow up and play D. Amare might have a big series and prove me wrong, but Nash is gonna expect Hill to pick up his slack on the defensive end (just like he used to do with Bell). Until Nash decides defense is important Suns will never make it farther then the Western Conference Finals... again I am a Suns fan.. but a realistic one.
realistically...Spurs in 6
hopefully.. Suns in 7 but don't hold your breath..
I will say this tommorows game means alot, which Sun's team is gonna show up? The dominant one, or the Suns team that the Spurs have a mental edge over?
1) Run-and-gun quick play for the Suns over the aging Spurs.
2) Too much outside shooter for the Suns than the Spurs.
3) Nash got problems with Tony Parker from the past couple of years, but this time too old for Tony to outplay Steve.
4) Grant Hill will defend Manu Ginobili.
5) Home-court advantage.
