On Sunday, Phoenix Suns ended the series against San Antonio Spurs in 4 games. A lot of people, including myself, predicted the Spurs to win in 6 or 7 games, but they were surprisingly swept. This goes to show that anything could happen in the NBA, as Phoenix advance to the Western Conference finals. Suns won 107-101, led by Steve Nash who finished with 20 points, scoring 10 of them in the fourth quarter despite an eye injury.
Nash averaged 22.0 PPG, 7.8 APG, 4.5 RPG in the Second round, meanwhile his teammate, Amar'e Stoudemire, averaged 20.5 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.3 APG, 1.2 BPG. It's also important to point out that Goran Dragic has been huge off the bench, especially in Game 3, when he scored 23 points in the 4th quarter.
Suns will rest until the Lakers-Jazz series is over, which the Lakers lead 3-0. The Western Conference finals will definitely be exciting, and I think it's a great opportunity for Steve Nash, one of the greatest Point Guards in NBA history, to put the final touches on his legacy. He's been the League's Most Valuable Player twice, in 2005 and 2006, a 7 times All-Star, 3 times All-NBA First Team, 2 times All-NBA Second Team, and a 2 times All-NBA Third Team, but now it's time to add a ring to his impressive resume.
Two great teams, but it was an upset for me when i seen the san antonio spurs loose 0-4. Simply because the other years that past they have been great.
