The reigning--and soon to be repeat--MVP takes a tumble tonight. Trust me, the Suns are flirting with disaster. I said before the beginning of the postseason that both the Spurs and the Suns, and even the Mavericks, were vulnerable to outside threats. The Mavericks have thus far weathered the storm better than either of the pretenders in the West, but they are themselves not without chinks. Once these series go to the road, we will see who is for real and who is pretending.
My predictions after four games:
SAS 2 SAC 2
DAL 3 MEM 1
PHX 2 LAL 2
It's going to be a hell of a war in the west this year.
