The right teams are in the final four, but it's disappointing at the same time because it looks like the new champs will be determined by injuries.
Suns lost their best 3 point shooter (that's saying a LOT on the Suns) and best defender in JJ, and they already have a paper thin bench. Game 2 made than plain, Suns were up 9 in the 3rd, within 5 minutes of Amare going to the bench for a rest Spurs had tied it.
Shaq is still too injured to properly attack Wallace & Wallace, Wade is amazing but without Shaq he's basically LeBron on Cleveland.
Still, i have to be awed at the potential upside of Phoenix. Stockton showed that a distributor PG can have a very long career, and the rest of Phoenix still hasn't reached their potentials yet.
