The playoffs cannot get here soon enough. While it was fun watching Sean Marks torch a Trail Blazers team with not much to play for and seeing Jarrett Jack ball his fists in anticipation of fighting Brian Skinner (that would have been fun to watch,) I need the playoffs and I need them now.

82 games of cheering, screaming, hooting, hollering, cursing, hand-wringing, not sleeping, throwing inanimate objects, hating, and loving has all led to this, a 7-game first-round series with the hated San Antonio Spurs.

I’d give a prediction on what I think will occur but I honestly have no idea. While the Suns looked great in taking 3 of 4 from the Spurs this season, the playoffs are whole different story, especially when the matchup is with a 4-time champion.

All I know is this: the Suns have as good a chance as winning the whole thing as anyone. Beating the Spurs in the first round would be a huge step in the right direction.
