Not that they know anything (see predictions for last series), but for anyone who cares:

More expert picks on the way

Actually I've found that if you take a majority of the picks as one pick it's pretty damn accurate.

It just seems as though those espn guys do not consider fatigue and energy as much of a factor as we do.

Well, historically speaking, we own the Suns in the playoffs. I think the last time we lost a series to the Suns was in 2000 with a series score of 3-1. But how many times have we beat them since.

Not that any of that matters now. But, just sayin'...

Yeah I can't see the Spurs winning a game 7 on the road in any series they could potentially face this year.

So it's pretty much take care of it in 6 or less.

with the team defense we just played against the mavs, i kind of love our chances against the suns. I respect way their offense is playing right now, but we have a history of guarding the three well. If we can take that away from them, or limit their good looks at 3s, I have to think we have a great chance.

It's funny, if these two had met in the first round, they'd have probably all picked the Suns. Now that the Spurs have taken down the team they thought would battle the Lakers to win the West, now they're all predictably back on the Spurs bang wagon, because none wants to look like the idiot who bets against this team again, particularly against the Suns. Yet deep down, you know they all want to go with the Suns and they all want the Suns to win, they just don't have the balls to say it at this point. Predictable.
