As far as saying Barbosa may be better than 2005 is to display an unbelievable level of ignorance, he played a total of 15 minutes for the ENTIRE series in 05, never even seeing time after Joe Johnson went down. He is now arguably our 3rd best player - he is better than Ginobli in my opinion - and he will prove it this series.

I don't expect Amare to average 37 a game this time around, but he doesn't need to. We are a more balanced team now, and that is a big reason why many of you think he is not close to what he was in 2005.

If the suns use single coverage on Duncan primarily with KT and dont let parker go crazy I like their chances - but I know it will not be easy.
I agree. Barbosa should be a big help against Parker. Parker can't handle speedy guards. Bell could bother Manu as well. Kurt Thomas could bother Duncan. This years suns team matches up much better now than 2 years ago.
