Who would you rather face in the 1st round playoffs?

It's funny that you should say that.

Suns 3 -1 against the Lakers in regular season.

Remember, how the 1st round of the playoffs played out last year....Suns favored to beat the Lakers, then Lakers take win one game in Phoenix then go up 3 -1 with Kobe hitting a game winner, only to lose in 7 games and coming close to winning in 6.

In the series, Phil Jackson utilized his bigs (Brown, Bynum, Turiaf) to get rebounds, slow-pace of the game down, and force PHX. to shoot outside jumpers. Then later, he could also elect to run & gun with Phoenix once the Lakers had 10 and 15 pts. leads. Something that almost won him the series.
With no inside defense or offense, it inevitably put PHX. down 3-1 to one.

This team is very beatable in the playoffs. Especially with our defense.

Many thanks for reminding me.

I don't know why we seem to fear Phoenix?

We are our own worst enemy when we play them, we don't make them adjust to us but we adjust to them.

And with a legit starting point guard, assuming Yao and Tmac are healthy, I fear no one!

Mavs.

Take them out in the first round, and boost our confidence.
