Suns in seven? No way.. This year, it'll be more like five.

Here's how I see them:

BOS 5
DET 6
ORL 5
WAS 6

LAL 6
DAL 6
PHO 5
UTA 6

As in past years, the Spurs get no respect. Maybe it is because they are in a small market. Four out of the past nine is not so bad. It will be an interesting playoff season due to the fact that all of the teams are so evenly matched. Even though they are the oldest team in the league, don't count them out. This is a new short season and as they say "win or go home." The Spurs have shown that they know how to win, even though it may not be flashy or fast paced. Above all, remember the championship has to go thru San Antonio.

I'm well aware of the presence of the Spurs in the playoffs, but their time is over. No one on that team has suddenly become Ponce de Leon and found the "Fountain of Youth" in SA. Tired legs do not equal playoff glory... at least not this year.

They're done. I stand by my prediction.

I'd like to see the Lakers sweep. I'd love to see Cleveland knocked out. I'm rooting for the Spurs over the Suns. It will be either Detroit or Boston out of the East. The West will win in the finals.

RE To SKYBILL40
while i respect your comment, i must respectfully disagree. The suns are playing, arguably, the hardest team in the fist round. Saying 5 games is disrespectful to the Spurs. The suns could have a breakout year, but they definitely wont trample over everyone to get there. What is funny about all this, is that you have the lakers, denver and Utah Rockets series, going longer than PHX and SA....its funny because those two series are more lopsided than PHX and SA, by FAR.

I guess we'll see now, won't we?

you forget skybill that pheonix had to trade for shaq in order to have hope of beating san antonio. and if your prediction of the suns beating the spurs based solely on age. Shaq your not so secret weapon is older than any of the spurs big three. not to mention the fact that duncan parker and ginobli came to play. i dont see the suns winning this series. the spurs pull it out in 6. when the suns start playing real defense, and not just hoping teams miss shots well talk about a game 7.

Sadly enough, the Spurs had to resort to the "hack-a-Shaq" defense and a unbelievably lucky Duncan three pointer to even pull even with the Suns and put themselves in a position to win the game. The Spurs are done. You'll see.

wizards in six, not so sure if they won't be swept. LBJ over rated ?

your wrong out celtics in five, they going to win in four. Magic win in four not in 7. Cavs win in four not wizards in 6. Hornets in 6 not 7. I'll give you the rest.
