The Mavericks are an overachieving team that somehow beat the Champs to get to this Western Conference Final. The Suns are an underachieving team that should be rolling over everyone but need seven games to win. How do these teams match up? I'm going with the Suns. I think they have the experience and the momentum. Picks?

I think it's Dallas's year. The Suns have no answer for Dirk and Dallas is playing much better defense then they have ever played.

I second that, Dallas! Their experience against SA with the way Dirk has been playing is too much for Nash and the Suns to handle...

Dallas in six games.

I do not see the Mavs as an overachieving team at all. They were my pick to win it all before the playoffs started and I am sticking with them. The Suns will finally face a team that they are not heavily favored to beat and will not get a game 7 in Phoenix if the series goes that far. I am wondering just who on the Suns has the experience over the Mavs? Is there a player playing here in the desert that ever made it past this round? Another interesting side note is Steve Nash played a number of years in Dallas, how will the local fans in Dallas greet him? Is there any team that knows Steve's game better than the Mavs?

Any predicitions for tonight? I wouldn't be surprised to see Phoenix win this game and Dallas win the last 2.

Another great prediction by me!
