Doesn't matter. We'll play anyone, anytime, anywhere. Who we play really doesn't make any difference.

Personally, I want to see Steve go against his old team Dallas(and beat them).

If Sterns has power to "fix" the playoff games, he would want to see Steve and Dirk.

Either Rocket and Mavs will be a very tough opponent so it really doesn't matter who we play. There are few things I worry about:

Against Mavs:
1.) Nash may get too excited and he feels he has a lot more to prove to Mark Cuban. I am worried about Nash against Mavs than vice versa. I think matchup wise, we match Mavs really well. None of Mavs players can guard Amare which is a plus but none of us can guard Dirk. The good news is Dirk is in shooting slump now. The little bad news is Dirk has gone to the line A LOT MORE this year so Amare should watch foul trouble big time.

2.) Jason Terry has been hot but he can't run offense so I think Nash can handle Terry.


Against Rocket:
1.) Yao/Mutumbo can give Amare a lot of trouble. They may not even want to double team Amare which will be tough for our shooters.

2.) T-MAC has been great so far. If he is ON, it's on. I think this is sort of expected but when T-MAC is on, it's really hard to beat Rocket. I also think Rocket has very good perimeter defense. Oh well, so is Mavs I think.


Overall, I want to see Mavs only because of Steve VS Dirk. I am a fan of both.

Doesn't matter who we play. Usually for any team I like when I root for who I think would be an easier team it gets me in trouble cuz the team I'd rather face ends up winning lol.

Houston is more physical.
Houston has the most explosive player in the league
Houston has the biggest center in the league

Marion can shut down Dirk (he has before)
JJ can guard Finley
Nash better be able to keep Terry under wraps

I want to play dallas. Houston scares me more.

I also would love to see us stick it to the Dallas fans. They are second only to Laker fans when it comes to being *******s (from my expierence).

Rockets look scary because they have Yao and McGrady. And even if we contain both, players like Barry, Sura etc, they just look like sleepers, they can hit those 3 pointers.

I know you'll get off on me saying this, but if we have to face Houston, we're screwed. I want the Mavericks.

Go easy on me. I'm just really scared right now.

When Hunter and Amare are on the floor who will stop Amare? Bowen? LOL!!! BOWEN.... HAHAHAHHA.

See that's where the Suns have a huge advantage. Yao dissapears a lot in games and T-Mac is a streaky shooter. Past those two the Rockets don't have a prayer in the world. Sura and Wesley are worse than Miller and Williams who we just faced.

If Rockets play the way they did 1st 2 games late in the series and win, then I'm scared. I think Mavs may end up matching up with us better. But all I hope is, we're well rested by rd 2nd and not rusty while those teams beat each other up going to 7 games.

sunsaz

One thing that would make me feel a little more confident about facing the Rockets is if Marion is guarding McGrady. No one else I know can really get the job done.

Another plus about facing Houston. There won't be as much bull in the press about Nash vs Nowitzki.

What about Joe?

Nashaholic

I wanna see Nash going against his old team Dallas because I want to see the look on Mark Cubans face when we win.

Both Dallas and Houston are solid teams but I dont see either of them beating us.

tempe85

Joe would guard McGrady I guarentee that.
