Portland might steal a game but at the end Suns should win 4-1. I don't understand how Blazers fans actually think they have a legit shot to be Phoenix without their key players. It's always good to fantasize we have all done that but it ain't happening in this series.

+1.

Roy, Oden, and Przybilla (I've seen you butcher it three times tonight alone) would just slow down Webster, Bayless, and Diener. Plus we want them healthy for when the real playoffs start in a week and a half.

I love your sarcasm Farzi. So in regards to Joel Przybilla, he also has nicknames of "Ghostface", "The Vanilla Gorilla", and "The Thrilla". He is also part Polish and part German which I find ironic since Germany blitzkrieged the **** out of that poor little country in 1939.

The blazers winning the 1st game of the series would make the game very interesting.
Don't see that happening though...

I predict that Marcus Camby will blow out his ACL in game 1. Portland hasn't had an injury in a week so they're due for 1.

I know it's been a long, long, LONG time since the Suns were in the playoffs, but let me lay it down for you. The team that normally advances has to have the perfect mix of fans willing to start a riot, a super "green" arena, and you have to play against a team that is clearly inferior, and has no shot of beating you. Look, I find it adorable that you're in here making all of these sarcastic claims about how you're the better team, or that you're on a roll, or whatever other silly stuff you've dreamed up, but at the end of the day, you guys just have to face the fact that your team is bad, and isn't going to get to the second round. :cry:

He hurt his ankle during practice but he will play in game 1.

The Blazers are a team built for a first round exit - and that's with all of their players healthy.

The Suns are going to destroy them.

erekose200 basically just cursed the Suns with his inability to control himself from bashing Portland in a thread.

Sorry, Phoenix.

The homerism is strong in this thread.

Which is kind of sad. I get that Suns fans are proud of their team. They went from not making the playoffs in forever to getting HCA, which is neat. I don't know why they expect more out of them, they've clearly expended all they have to get here, and now they have to play against Pendergraph and Diener, and they think it will continue? Damn.

I heard the line is Suns -80.

If Portland can win this first game, the series will be very interesting.. If we're going to win any in PHX, I think tonight's the best chance..

WOW! What a performance against such a defense presence that is Z-Bo!

Yeah, that's pretty pathetic. That's like us bragging about Roy's 52 (which is higher than Amare's 50) against the Suns of all teams. Those type of achievements just don't carry as much weight.

Who will win?
