Finals matchup?

[boutons]

Not yet, but it's definitely the best of the East @ the best of the West:

Heat @ Phoenix (no national TV)

Shaq vs Amare (who sits sooner? for more minutes due to foul trouble?)

===============================

Side dish:

Pacers @ Grizz. Which team will keep its streak alive?

Ain't going to be a finals matchup.

Spurs vs. Pistons or Pacers, Big Toe will get hurt and Miami will fade.

Nash gets behind people on the screen all the time. Nobody else stepped up for the Suns to cut off Parker in the lane. I think they were too worried about Duncan. Suns defense is based on denying the inside and making teams shoot jumpers. When they defend that way they get transition opportunities. Instead Parker had a free passes to the rim all night.

Not to take anything away from Parker. He is a very talented player and his quickness is hard to deal with.

It would probably be the Spurs and the Heat.
