Frank (Chicago): Who will the Bulls be playing in the NBA finals this season?

Ben Wallace: Probably it will be the Suns. If the Suns are fortunate enough to get there.

Fortunate isn't exactly a nice word in that context.

The Bulls do not scare me at all. If we play them, we win in 5.

I'd welcome it, I'd love to get revenge so to speak for 1993. I've hated the Bulls ever since then. I'd hope the Suns would just bury them, 4 games to 0.

I've never really hated the Bulls for winning in 1993, just a sinking feeling in my stomach when Paxson hit the shot to win the series. I mean... that is what he was supposed to do. They beat the Suns fair and square. I do feel animosity for how the Spurs played what I consider dirty basketball in the playoffs last season against the Suns and got away with it.

"Probably the Suns, if they are fortunate enough to get there," what the hell does that mean? You could insert any other team in the blank and the sentence would have the same impact.

I think Wallace is just trying to spite Skiles.

I would prefer to play the bulls out of any other team in the east.

I think it would be a great matchup and besides boston, would be one of the higher rated/enjoyable finals.

Maybe he meant "fortunate" as "not beaten down by injuries, suspensions or poor officiating."

i'm not so sure. for one thing they were the first team to beat us by more than 10 that ended the streak we had going. they match up with the suns rather well, actually. ben wallace in the middle certainly hinders the suns guards from doing their thing (to an extent). he can also guard amare pretty well. they can put deng on nash too. i think we would win, but certainly not in 5

One minor detail: Steve Nash didn't play in that game.

I was 10 years old at the time, so it irrationally crushed me more than if it would've happened when I was 21 or something.

What I want to know is who thought the Suns would be in the finals last year...and the year before...and before...


I'm sure the Spurs are shaking thinking about what Ben thinks.


We need a little less predictions and more actions!
