Robert Horry will not be playing in the first couple games which is sad since he makes key shots to help the spurs boost past. The spurs have been in a slump going into the playoffs winning only 3 of 4 however they were without Manu. Defensively, not one team in the west has been more consistent than the spurs (Celtics being the top in my eyes in defense). What people don't realize about the spurs is that they know how to win playoff games. They have several tricks in the bag that help them overcome teams. Pay attention to whomever guards duncan (most likely Amare) as Duncan gets a lot of calls in his favor during the playoffs. IF, and thats a BIG IF, Amare and Shaq can stay out of foul trouble, the suns have a chance to walk away from the series as victors... i still pick the spurs
One thing i want to point out to all the overhyped cavs fans it that Cleveland has been a sub par 500 team since the trade. Their bench is not that great. Lebron is not overrated, he is quite possible the best player in the game right now, but he cannot carry his team forever. That's where the wizards have the advantage, they are the dark horse and i would like to see an upset. I picked the Cavs to win but bet on the Wizards to take the series just cause i like the odds here and i have some kind of feeling that the nba may be shocked.
