    I don't think they'll put Nash on Parker for very long. That wouldn't be wise for the Suns. They'll move Joe Johnson onto him with QRich guarding Ginobili. That is how they most successfully guarded them during the season.
    I would've thought they'd have put Marion on Manu because Manu will scorch anyone on that team besides Marion.

    Joe Johnson is their best defender.

    He will be on Manu.

    They'll be a lot of switching. Bowen has guarded everyone from Marion to Nash when they've played the Suns. And though the Suns don't D up much, they've switched up quite a bit too. It will be interesting to see if JJ plays and if so, how he adjusts to the mask.

    He might be if he played the 3 more often. Marion has played the 4 all season.

    Unless both Hunter and Stoudemire are in the game Marion will be defending in the frontcourt rather than the backcourt.

    The Suns will need everyone to help cut off the drives of both Manu and Parker.
    Without Johnson it will be Jackson matched up with him. Otherwise you will see Johnson covering him on the perimeter.


    Suns defense tries to shut down the lane and make the other team make jumpers. You will probably see a lot of switching on the picks. There will be times when Marion is guarding Ginobili I am sure.

    It'll be good to see him back. That was a nasty fall he took.

    The word from Phoenix is that Johnson is questionable.

    He has been cleared by the doctors but it is up to him now. I can't imagine JJ not giving it a go unless he is still hurting. He has said he is not going to rush anything. The management and coaches are not going to rush him to come back.

    He is a FA this summer and wouldn't want to risk more injuries.

    If he's day to day, and doesn't play Sunday, he'll probably play Tue or the games @SBC.

    Who defends / is defended by Jim Jackson?

    i heard he's not going to play in game 1 maybe even game 2 because although he is clear to play he's looking to the future because he's gonna be a big free agent next year and he dosn't want to hurt agian and screw up his chances of getting the big money
