Can't get beat by the 3-ball, that for sure. Be interesting to see the Dice/Amare matchup.
in my humble points of view: Spurs in 6

One game at most.

Hey Ghazi how'd the Mavs play tonight?
Sucks Robin Lopez is hurt. He would be expected to have a huge impact.
You don't understand, every year there's supposed to be something different with the Suns, and every year it turns out the same ing way.
Um, no. We'll wax that ass as usual.
Never said there would be anything different. If I did, please show me where.
Baring a setback Lopez is supposed to be healthy for series.
My question is:
Does fatigue play a roll for the Suns more than it did for the Mavs?
Nash is old, Grant is old.
I didn't say you said that, if i did please show me where
First game in the series isn't till Monday. Nash is getting longer in game rests than he ever has with the team, so no, fatigue doesn't play a role as much as the fact Nash simply isn't what he once was.
You told me I don't understand, I'm not quite sure what I "didn't understand". I'm not predicting a Suns win or anything, if it makes you happy, I'd predict Spurs in 6 if I had to make a prediction.
I'll be very surprised to see him any sooner than Game 3. They still said there was no timetable for his return (according to ESPN).
Still no timetable for Suns' Lopez
April, 29, 2010
By John Hollinger
PORTLAND -- Robin Lopez worked out at the Suns’ Game 6 shootaround Thursday, but don’t expect any Brandon Roy-style dramatic returns anytime soon. The bulging disk in his back pinched a nerve and caused a loss of strength in his right leg, and working his way back into playing shape from that setback is a much more arduous process than Roy's return from torn meniscus surgery.
The Suns emphasized again that there is still no timeline for his return, and an appearance in the second round seems extremely unlikely.
“I feel a lot better but I still have a ways to go,” said Lopez. “I just started running and you can kind of tell that a little bit.”
“Right now, for me it’s all about getting the strength back in my right leg. As anyone who has gone through a bulging disk can tell you, you don’t really know how long that’s going to last. It can take a couple weeks, or it can take another month and a half.
“We’ll start him tonight,” joked Suns coach Alvin Gentry, in reference to Roy’s unexpected return in Game 4. “That’s our big surprise.”
“He’s coming along. We’ll see what happens, but he’s still a little ways away. [But] he’s made unbelievable improvement.”
But again, no hard dates.
“There really isn’t a [timetable],” said Gentry. “We’ll just follow the doctors’ advice. He’s made a lot of progress over the last week and a half, and we’ll just see where that takes us.”
As for Lopez, he’s just relieved to be taking part again, even in a limited fashion, and he said he may be able to increase the workload this weekend.
“It’s nice to change it up a little bit,” he said of his work on the court today. “Right now we’re isolating different actions, but putting it all together, that’s totally different.”

Suns were ranked 19th in def eff in the reg season(pretty awful) but this is probably their best shot to beat the Spurs seeing as SA was ranked 9th in def eff this year(the worst of all the SA teams Phx has played in the post-season).
I'm not as confident as my fellow Spurs fans, this is going to be a tight series and the Suns are due a playoffs victory over the Spurs.
Seriously? If that's the case, Suns have a good chance to win. Spurs have no answer for Amare while Lopez may be able to slow down Duncan enough. No big advantage in the backcourt for either team.
Obviously you have as much knowledge as a pile of in a toilet.
