WC Playoffs: (3) Suns vs. (6) Blazers

whatchaknow · Post #21 » by **whatchaknow** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:29 am

Id imagine this will be an interesting clash of styles. Whoever can force the other into their style, should win. If its anything like the regular season the Blazers have the advantage but i have a feeling this will be different.

Blazers will prolly put Batum on Nash so we will see how that goes for us.

I really want to say Portland in 6 but ill say Phx in 7. Dont think the Blazers will lose the series on their homecourt and i dont think PHX would lose on their HC. So either PHX holds HC or POR takes won down there. I will go with the original.....PHX in 7

Roy owns us.. so if he plays, it could be a good series.

Suns in 4. We're playing better than anyone else is in the west. I wouldn't think Roy would be too effective with the injury he has.

Suns in 4, the only sweep in the 1st round for the west.

Blazers are not getting swept. I'm willing to bet money on that.

Miller will make Nash work and Camby/Aldridge can help contain Amare.

No they can't. And this is coming from a big Marcus Camby fan. Amare is going to have his way.

he struggles with length sometimes

but he's also murderous in the playoffs

No Roy. No Oden. No Pryzbilla.

Suns in 5.

With a healhty Roy, I really believe Portland would win the series.

We're terrible at defending the 3. So if Rudy, Webb etc hit shots it'll be a long series.

It's in no disrespect to the Blazers because I know you're a legit team, but it's more based off of how the Suns are playing lately. It's just my guess. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go longer than that though.

Suns in 6....

If Roy by some miracle can play it will be anyone's series.

Lamarcus has forced Amare into some tough games but like you say its the playoffs and Amare is extra motivated with the FA. Hes truly a beast and a tough cover for absolutely everyone in the league.

There are some good matchups in this series. I will be interested to see if Roy does play, how the Blazers attack. Id imagine establish Andre early in the post try to get Nash in some foul trouble. If Roy doesnt play id assume they put Nash on Batum or Fernandez to rest him for offense.

Wow. Who cares how PHX has been playing lately? Blazers have been playing pretty decent themselves. Who won the regular season series again?

Suns in 7.

Jazz and Nuggets.

Who will win?
