That said, who knows who's gonna come out winning the Spurs-Suns series. No amount of defense may be able to slow down the Suns with Nash playing the best of his career, a healthy Stoudemire, Barbosa and Bell shooting very well. This is gonna be some good shit to watch. |
Actually i see the Spurs' weakness against Pistons as exactly that, as Parker's and Ginobili's drives can be checked by a committed defense, leaving only Duncan to fight offensively. I've seen those two contained successfully without much hassle in national team games (as Parker plays for France and Ginobili for Argentina) and this is the defensive approach i expect Pistons to use (stop Parker and Ginobili first) if they play the Spurs in the finals.
And i agree, the Suns-Spurs matchup will be great fun to watch. Spurs need to short-circuit Nash's amazing passing game which is all Suns are about, but
i am not sure they can pull it off. Let's see how it'll play through, but i suspect a seven game series.
