<p>Suns will win, they have the best team chemistry (aside from the pistons, but suns have more talent) and the best overall player in the league in Steve Nash.</p>

<p>nameless1...OMG that's hilarious.. you watch the game last night.. WOW, beat them by 21 a day after they beat them by 26..yea, the Bulls are going to beat the Pistons...great prediction.. i hope you didn't bet money on that..</p>

<p>O yea, and Flong, ask Tim Duncan who he said the hardest person to play against in the NBA was...yep you guessed right, Rasheed Wallace when he was with the Trail Blazers in the 1999 Conference finals. Rasheed Wallace and C-Web can guard Tim Duncan i mean they ewre both in the west for so many years and have played along side him (all-star games) as well as against him.</p>

<p>The Mavs will win the championship. They are not knocked out yet. The world is just in the middle of a nightmare.</p>

<p>I agree.</p>

<p>Plus, if the Pistons and Spurs do meet in the Finals, it'll come down to guard play anyhow. More specifically, it'll come down to the matchup between Tony Parker and Chauncy Billups. Parker is not physical enough to stop Billups from penetrating or from posting up (yes, Billups is one of the better PG at playing with his back to the basket). The Pistons have a much deeper team as well. Rasheed, C-Web, and McDyess can all play effective D on Duncan and Billups is definitely capable of shutting down Parker.</p>

<p>The back court of CB and Hamilton will out play Parker/Finley, Parker/Ginobli without a question. The problem is this: Regardless of how good Rasheed or Chris Webber do on Tim Duncan, Duncan is good enough to score even on the best defenses. Hes done it against Sheed and Webber and Shaq and hes shown no signs of slowing down against Shawn Marion who is one of the top defenders in the league. </p>

<p>If Duncan is playing his game and making his shots, the Pistons defense will have to collapse and help, leaving open lanes and shots for the other Spurs. SA will live or die based on how well he plays and how foul free Tim Duncan is.</p>
