well here we are the semi finals.i would say everything is going according to form.we expected the spurs-suns and the heat-pistons.i like the suns to win this series and move on to the finals.i also like them in game 1 laying the 2.5 points.you got the best defense in the spurs 88.4 versus the best offense 110.4 and the MVP steve nash and this dude is the real deal, playing out of his mind.nobody sees the floor better then him,he comes full speed ahead and he knows exactly what he is going to do,split second reaction.when amare fouled out he carried this team the last 10 minutes like a super star.the spurs took care of the sonics in 6,mind you it was a depleted sonics team,missing all star rashard lewis and rashmanovic and still they were almost pushed to a game 7.my opinion is that the spurs are not as good as everyone thinks they are,time will tell .there is 1 thing that is tough to figure out and that is the tempo of each game,i think the suns run at home no matter what and maybe the spurs play the half court game in there building.but i do know 1 think the suns showed me they dont have to shoot the perimeter shot always they can go down low.amare and marion can play in the paint when needed.suns are 4-1 on the road,while the spurs looked lost playing on the road in seattle losing 2 games.spurs are 24-22 overall this season on the road,that will hurt them in this series,since the suns have the home court advantage.
