I think the current Suns have more firepower than the Mavs did, though (you're talking about the Kidd/Jackson/Mashburn 1-2-3 years right?) and a few more offensive options, in terms of having guys who can post up when need be like Diaw and Bell, and a bit of patience in terms of throwing the ball round the perimeter as they showed the other night. Still, they can be a hot and cold team, yeah.
Suns got the best of the calls in game 4 but it was such a blowout I don't think it would've mattered. I think I only spotted maybe 3 no-calls on Nowitski, and he got away with a foul on (I think) Diaw in the 3rd.
Inuries might have a part to play, too, with the Suns getting Thomas and Bell back all of a sudden they look a much deeper team, and Howard looked like he got hurt in game 4 too. Still think it could go either way, you'd have to say home court is looking slight favourite, though.
Pretty cool that more or less all the reasonable shouts for MVP are facing each other in the last four - Wade, Billups, Nowitzki and Nash. Right now it feels like anybody could win it and none of the teams is a big favourite....
