I'm interested to know because the Suns have been scoring like crazy this season. Especially the game against the Nets. I've never seen a team score so many points day in and day out. The playoff is a different stage in the game. Hopefully the NBA playoffs can be as exciting as the NCAA tourney this year up until the Final Four.

they just torched the fiery lakers with 126 points in game 2 which featured the NBA's sixth man awardee leandro barbosa lighting up the scoreboards again with 26 points, matching his playoff career high he set in game 1. nash had 16 points and 14 assists, marion had 18 poitns and 10 rebounds and amare stoudemire finished with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 4 shot blocks, 2 on kobe bryant. if those are the kind of number phoenix is going to post every night, all other teams might start having nightmares this time. phoenix offense is just too much for any other team's defense to stop. and a plus, phoenix only had 1 turnover in the first half. now how could you stop a team thats playing close to perfect and loaded with a pack of all-stars? this is the suns year, they will win the title this time

Yes, it will be kinda different in the Playoffs compared to that of the Season. Mistakes in the Playoffs will be crucial, or should i see, of most importants. It will be a no-easy ride for the Suns, though they have won their playoff-opener against the Lakers. It is still a long, bumpy road to the Finals. But i can tell you right away, that the Playoffs will offer a lot of drama and exciting plays that we will be remembering for the years to come. Yes, the Suns have fire power and almost everyone can be a scorer, after all, the led the Season in 3 pointers made and attempted. Watch out for Barbosa coming off the bench giving the team that needed boost from the reserves. If you are playing against the Suns, you don't want to RUN against them, because they will be running a lot. They may not be as defensive oriented like the Pistons or the Spurs, their offense will make it up for that. My predictions: Suns-Lakers 4-1.
