In two days, the Lakers v. Suns series begins--after a long layoff, the WCF begins after what seems like an eternity.
I think it is amazing how nearly every commentator gives this Phoenix team no chance against the Lakers--how there has been no respect to this team which has been the hottest team in the NBA for much of the latter part of the regular season.
In a way--I have to admit, this Phoenix team reminds me of the 1999 Spurs team which won their first NBA Title. I predict this Suns team will win their first title this year s well.
For one thing--I think the Suns bench and role players are playing like a team of destiny. Against the Spurs--in every game--someone else stepped up and provided the added touch that resulted in Phoenix winning. This was so reminiscent of the Spurs '99 team--when the bench and role players played such a huge role in the title run.
This is going to be the key in the series against the Lakers.
So--while Phil Jackson ******* about Steve Nash--look for the bench and the role players to be huge in this series. The Lakers bench SUCKS!!!!!
