Western Conference Semifinals - Game 1
I usually don't like game threads this early, but this series brings back a lot of fond memories being a Spurs fan. I love watching the Spurs play at Phoenix because you could hear the hatred the fans have towards them. Hell, they even booed Duncan during his introduction during the All-Star game when they hosted the game last year
. Everybody knows about the history between these two teams but it's not really a rivalry being that the Suns never beaten the Spurs when it mattered. I expect Amare to dominate but I don't think he'll put crazy numbers like he did in the past since the Spurs will put Mcdyess on him for the majority of the game. Not having Robin Lopez will be huge loss for the Suns since he played Duncan particularly well when they last met. Also, this will not be an easy series for Nash because he will have to guard Parker or Hill because the Spurs no longer have Bowen. J-Rich and Ginobili will be entertaining to watch as well Richard Jefferson and Grant Hill. The bench for both teams will be a huge factor as well. I will be rooting for the Spurs but I predicted before the playoffs started that these two teams would meet and the Suns will win in it 7. I'm hoping that I'll be proven wrong.
