Call me crazy but I think the Zombie Sonics can beat the Jazz.
The best thing to do is turn Amare into a volume shooter, just like every other team's leading scorer. The Suns get really dangerous when other teams start allowing the Nash-Amare pnr to open up the court for other players like J-Rich and Hill. When you do what teams like the Spurs do and let Amare become a volume shooter the other players become non-factors and have no idea what to do when the pick and roll stops working late in the game.

I dont see any reason why Phoenix would be that undesirable. Our guys would have the best player on the court, far better wing players, far better centers, and a wash @ PG... home court too... that's not always the best way of analyzing things, but still seems like we simply have more talent.
I'm hoping for:
Lakers vs Spurs
Mavs vs. Blazers
Denver vs. PHO
Utah vs. OKC
The Spurs slightly make me nervous...if they close well, they will have done it against a very tough schedule.
I think the Mavs would beat the Spurs, but something tells me it would go to 6 and be a semi-tough series. They have been playing better lately and have more playoff proven talent than a lot of the other lower playoff teams.
Plus, we no longer have Josh "Spur Raper" Howard
Would be a great matchup. Everyone remembers the epic 2000 WCFs between these two with The Comeback in Game 7... but I'd forgotten that they also squared off in the 1st round in 2001 and 2002 as well. Plenty of first-round history between these two. The atmosphere in the Rose Garden would just be sick.
I think so too. Jazz have a lot of PO experience but just can't quite seem to put it all together. No way OKC beats LA, DEN, or DAL but I could see them upsetting Utah.
If Boston doesn't get Miami in round 1, they are done. Bucks/Bobcats would be .
Not only that, I expect wins against Utah and Portland, too. Two teams that have beaten us in very unpleasant ways. Time to get a little bit of revenge.
He's definitely playing up to his potential right now, averaging 27 and 10 since the ASB and playing like one of the best PF's in the game. He's nigh unstoppable on offense, playing solid defense, and his rebounding is better than it's ever been. I knew he was going to elevate his game after the ASB, but I didn't really expect this. He's actually playing like a team leader.
not sure about the bucks but bobcats in the first round would be annoying as for everybody
BUMP
So record wise right now it's
LA - more or less clinched top seed
Denver & Dallas - most likely have 2nd and 3rd seed locked up, question is who gets the 2nd seed
Utah, Phoenix, SA, OKC - it's anyone's guess as to how they finish 4-7.
Phoenix is on a 4 game winning streak. They have 6 games that should be easy then 6 games against .500 or better teams. SA is playing well right now but has an impossible schedule to finish. OKC has little to no chance to finish 4/5. Bear of a schedule to finish with a team that might start showing its youth. Utah has 4th right now and with a pedestrian schedule to finish is likely to stay in 4th.
Portland - Likely 8th seed with a good amount of tough games left that should be careful of Houston sneaking up on them.
3) Dallas Mavericks vs 6) Phoenix Suns
4) Utah Jazz vs 5) Zombie Sonics
These would be fun.
SA should watch out for Houston. They have a brutal schedule coming up. Portland too to a lesser extent.
The Utah-Phoenix race for the 4-seed will depend on who wins the last game of the season, Phoenix @ Utah. The Jazz own the tiebreaker right now, but a Suns victory would give them the tiebreaker. It's going to be an awesome game, too, since the result of that game will decide who gets home court advantage between the two teams in the first round. It's almost like an 8-game series.
When's the last time the Suns played the Jazz in the playoffs? I can't even recall off the top of my head...
Damn I just checked 1991. You'd think that they played sometime during mid-late 90's when both made the playoffs every year but I guess not.
When I read the le I was expecting to see a video of stretch running. Disappointing.
