Suns in 5. If Roy is relatively healthy, I'd say Suns in 6.

A different result if Roy was playing, but without him Suns in 5.

Analysis:

For Suns: Roy or no Roy, they are playing to lose this series. They have no Camby, no Oden. Attack the paint! Between Steve Nash slicing and dicing the defense and STAT looking like his 2007 form, the Blazers will be abolutely dominated. And the play of guys like Earl Clark, Channing Fyre, Louis Amundson. This will be in 4.

It's so bad that I'm not even going to analyze for the Blazers. Not even Andre Miller can carry this mess anywhere.

Ehm do I need to remind you guys that the Blazers beat the Suns both in Portland and in Phoenix without Broy? When Lopez went down I thought that Amare wouldn't be able to continue beasting but that is clearly not the case.

But... The Suns' bench have been absolutlely terrific which has given our starters some valuable rest. Nash, Amare and Jrich has been on fire too. Just too much firepower imo so I will say Phx in 5 (WWLWW or WWWLW).

Good to see Dedicated 76ers fan is not so dedicated to roster statuses.

Suns in 3. It's gonna be so bad they're gonna put forth a mercy rule. Blazers should blow up their roster this offseason too.

Did not expect the Sun vs Blazers playoff match up. Suns in 6 or less.
Looking for a new signature. Currently, still evaluating.

Another tough one where I like both teams. I'm going to go with Phoenix in 7 just because I want to see Nash make a final push for a ring. Roy will have many more chances.

The winners will perform acts of cannibalism upon the losers.

I will have you know there is no tender meat on this body of mine, and the Suns fans will not be happy with their meal should they win.

Stoudemire goes NUTS in the Playoffs, especially against a soft LMA (Let's face it, he is). Suns advance, Roy doesn't play.

Suns in 5. Valiant effort all year by Portland to get here, but just too many injuries. Spirit and fan support can only do so much for you.
