Most Anticipated Matchup of NBA Playoffs

The third seed spurs and the sixth seed suns has to be the most exciting matchup in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Suns, over the past two years, no matter how good their team was overall, no mater how well 2006 MVP, Steve Nash played, could never stop Tim Duncan and the Spurs. After sacrificing one of their prime time players in Shawn Marion for an aging, yet still effective Shaq, the Suns finally have the defense in their game that was once a much needed element. O'neal, being the one adding that element has helped the Suns beat the Spurs in their last two regular season outings, once in a near blowout on San Antonio's home floor. The Suns have such an all around front court and backcourt now, that they just might have what it takes to knock of the defending champion Spurs in the first round.
