Scout Inc. broke down the series on ESPN.com as the Suns won the Season series 3-1 for the first time in five years.
Even on their side of the story on MySA.com, The Spurs are worried by Shaq.
Everyone agrees this will be an intense series with lots of close game. There will be blood indeed.
With the Playoffs beginning on Saturday in Texas I believe the Suns-Spurs Series will come down to four key factors
1. Stay focused.
Never lose sight of the situation. Never try to win the game with one single player. Never give up on defense. Never stop running. Never. It's got to be 100 percent every second of every game.
2. Control the Paint.
Suns need to have control of the painted area and the boards. It means no second chances for the Spurs and trying to keep Ginobili and Parker from driving to the hoop. It all starts from their initiatives. That was reason no.1 why Shaq came to the Suns.
3. Have decent officiating.
Refs need to prevent the Spurs from making this series Royal Rumble II. It's the playoffs and everything, but it's still basketball. The last time I checked the game had not yet made special rules for the occasions. San Antonio loves fighting even more than playing basketball. The Suns are the best basketball team. Let's just hope that game will be played.
4. Boris Diaw needs to step up.
Our Frenchman can change the series. He's a great defender and an unstoppable combination of passing, shooting, inside and ouside game, but he needs to put energy and will on the court. Leave everything you have on that court, Boris!
Spurs have eliminated the Suns three of the last four Playoffs but this time will be different. I think the Suns can beat the Spurs this time. 4-2 Suns in the series.
GO SUNS !
