Here's hoping for history and a Lakers-Suns playoff series.

The no defense WCF. Final scores would be like 145-137 every game they play!

The Spurs won the first 3. Now we will win the next 3.

(We should have won the first game anyways)

Well the Lakers would have to get through the Jazz (should happen) and the Suns through the Nooch (not gonna happen) after a spurs miracle.

I do wish the Suns would come back in this series though...beat the Spurs in San Antone. It would be glorious.

When they do resolve the Spurs after down 0-3, the Suns must have figured better ways to stop PG like Parker and Paul. Actually, the key word would be "reducing Nash's role to focus on defense first". And Chandler/West are no comparison to Duncan. But, let's not look ahead of us too much and see whether we could get at least mone more win against Spurs.

The key to game 5 is whether the Diaw experiment continues to work. If Parker plays like he did in the first three games, it is a lost cause.

The sad truth is that when Hill re-injured himself in latter part of the first half of game 1, it destroyed the Suns game plan on both ends of the floor. Without Hill, Parker when wild and the Suns offense struggled. It was even worse in second half of game 2.

D'Antoni's experiement of starting Barbosa in game 3 was a disaster. It put Nash on Parker, which was hopeless and the Suns were effectively out of the game after 6 minutes. So while no one is going to stop Parker, the first three games showed just how important being able to limit him is:

Game 1 26 points on 11 of 20 shooting (most of it in the second half)
Game 2 32 points on 13 of 25
Game 3 41 points on 17 of 26

Game 4 18 points on 7 of 17

If the Suns can limit Parker without doubling him, they can beat the Spurs again.

the suns should use hack-a-bowen.

LOL Imagine a 48 minute free throw contest between Shaq and Bowen. Bowen would probably win - 74 to 59, scorching Jordan's playoff scoring record.

Would be an amazing game to watch. ;)

And does anybody know what would happen after all your bench has fouled out and one of your last 5 guys standing picks up foul number 6? Will you play 4 on 5?
