Although it may be wishful thinking, I am also thinking this series could be done in 5...in the Suns favor. I know the Spurs have history and I respect that history. I would not be stunned if they were back in game form, but they are not playing with a sense of urgency nor do the Spurs organization believe they need to win this. They've already proven who they are, and with their age, if the Suns can get game one today, it could be the beginning of the end for the Spurs.
Remember, Spurs fans (as I know as a Suns fan), the road to the finals are brutal this year. Two years ago it was a basically a cake walk for the Suns, Mavs and Spurs. Last year, it got a little tougher, right up to the "NBA Finals" (Suns-Spurs). The Suns have a huge chip, and a huge expectation, to get past the Spurs. Amare is now in his natural position, and Shaq is not letting Duncan get loose. Mano is not as healthy as some of you all think out there, and that is from the Spurs organization themselves, not some wishful Suns fan.
Here we go!
