(3) Suns vs (6) Blazers
Brandon Roy will be a no show for this one. The overachievers Blazers goes to war against the hottest team in the West without the best player. What a fucking shame. I'm serious, I love this Blazers teams. IMO with Roy they would had a real chance to move on to the next round but without him they have nobody who can control the tempo of the game and they are going to fall right into the hands of the trigger happy Nash led Suns.
Is there any difference between this Suns are the ones who got bounced again and again this past years? Nash is older but no slower. Amare is better offensively but not defensively. Their three point shooting attack is not as powerful but their inside games has improved .What does all this means? It means they are going to the next round with Roy or no Roy in the other side.
It's not going to be easy. Miller is big enough to slow down Nash, Camby is good enough to bother Amare and if there is a team out there who wont just roll out and play dead is this Blazers team.
At the end of the day the cruel reality tells that talent wins over heart. The Suns have the talent.
Basketball Gods prediction: Phoenix in 5
Win Scale (From 1: "The refs gave them that game. Are they really this bad?" to 10: " This is the best team ever! Make me yours" ) 8
