Main reasons for the pick:

1.- Phoenix is better team than the Spurs in my opinion. Always is difficult to say this against the NBA Champions but I think that this is true. Why? I have seen and old Bruce Bowen in this season, I think that he isn't as fast as he was in the past and he still being and offensive bad upon. San Antonio is a team made by 3 enormous players (Duncan, Parker and Manu) and a great combination of experience and coach work. But will be enough this to win? I think no. Looking San Antonio's roster is difficult to think that this team have done in the last years, but they have won some NBA titles.

On the other hand, Phoenix seems a team who have made last trades to beat Spurs. Of course to other teams too, but specially made to face against San Antonio. Althought Duncan is the best froncourt player in the NBA, Phoenix has Shaq&Amare in the paint, Grant Hill in his first PlayOff series playing for the Suns and Nash&Bell to complete the backcourt. Barbosa, Diaw and ¿Giricek? complete a medium-short rotation but so better than the Spurs have, including the recent Six Man Award Winner, Manu Ginobili.

In summary, I think that the Suns have better roster than the Spurs althought they are a solid team who have many years playing with the same people, but this year things can turn around and Suns must win. Grant Hill and Shaq must be the difference between other years and this.

2.- In game 1 Shaquille O'Neal gets into foul trouble too soon. I'm expecting that a player who has won 4 NBA championships know what he musn't do to repeat this and take advantage of the impressive Suns backcourt.

3.- Steve Nash played saturday with flu. He didn't play bad and he was allowed to play 44 minutes, only 14 on the bench.

4.- I think that the Suns made more mistakes than the Spurs, and I'm expecting that these mistakes will be changed today. Suns players are experience players who must play this games taking great decisions according to their age and experience in the league.

5.- NBA, where amazing happens... Shaq said that he was an invenstment, not a gamble... and Phoenix have to win San Antonio at sometime... now or never.
