Always intrigued for Denver/Phoenix
Phoenix will need to try and match Denver on the boards, make Denver a jumpshooting team, and to make them play more half-court than they want to and defend that effectively.
Not sure if Phoenix can do enough of any of that, but will be interesting to see.
Denver needs to shoot better than usual from three.
Whoever defends the most, especially/specifically later in the game, should win. Which is probably where most of the defense will be played
.
Can really go either way - but I think Denver are better acclimated to win with their offense against the Suns defense, along with their depth and size up front.
I think a guy like Kleiza is going to have a better than average game.
---------------
San Antonio I think will be too much for the Warriors. Not ruling out an upset, though. Because of the Spurs being on the 2nd of a BTB, and Duncan might play less than usual.
