They didn't bring shaq for the sole purpose of guarding duncan.. he was brought to stop duncan. the suns didn't have big bodies to throw at duncan and you will see shaq get into foul trouble early and thats where amare will be on duncan in the late game as long as he stays out of foul trouble himself.
The matchup between who guards duncan really depends who is in the game for the spurs. omberto and thomas are centers whereas duncan plays more a power forward role when these two are in the game. Don't be surprised if shaq lines up with spurs centers and duncan gets stuck on amare.
i'm not sure where you are getting your numbers from but the spurs were not horrible this seasons.. in fact they have better conference and home records than the suns which gives them a slight advantage going in with home court. the suns never lead the west. between my two fav teams in the nba.. i say spurs in game 7.
