Phoenix actually does because of their record.

Let's see, 2 teams with good offense and some players ugly on defense, good point guards and power forwards .. difficult to say.

But i'd take Deron & Carlos over Nash and Stoudemire.

I don't think either team is a roaring favorite but the Jazz have had the better of Phoenix the last two seasons. Of course, that's not exactly fair to say with the Shaq trade.

Tough to call. I think every game would be close.

But I'd go with the Jazz in 7.

AK loves to play fast-break ball. The PHX are slower right now, but I think he can adjust. Not as much as GS, but still..

I am not sure if the Jazz have the size up front. Okur is wayyy too soft to deal with Shaq or Amare. Boozer will get his, but the key to me is how Okur plays.

Ya, Okur did horrible on Duncan and yao last year also right? Not to mention last time the jazz and suns met Amare was the one having problems with okur backing him down. Collins will get some minutes if indeed this matchup happens. And shaq has problems with Collins flopping and getting the calls fromt he refs so not much to worry there. The Jazz have a marion like player, the suns dont anymore.

okur can do a god job on yao... but, on shaq? if he focus on him 100% then amare will get 50 points every game or something.

I'm not gonna be a homer and vote for my team... but this is the first round match up i've bee foreseeing.

If utah gets homecourt the series is theirs in 6... if it's in PHX it could be a different story.

Every single playoff series is going to be fun to watch, I CANNOT WAIT!!

lawl!!!!!

Suns_Fever, did your best friend set you up for this joke? If there was tow teams I wouldn't want to face if I was a Suns fan, it would be the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Hornets. Chaotic scoring vs. Efficient Scoring... mmm.. Jazz in 5. Just look at the records throughout the last two years.

Okur>>The Suns.

He loves playing against them and he dominates every time he does.

He is averaging 23.5 points and 15.5 boards against Phoenix this season, and last year he was even better against them.

Okur would be licking his chops to face them.

Completely depends on Okur.

I'm curious how AK47 could do on Amare. With Boris in the game I believe Boozer could guard him. Amare is out on the perimeter a lot now and very rarely posts up when Shaq is in the lineup.
