Neutrality Wins Championships.

Ah yes it's the playoffs. Very good games. I got to thinking. The phrase is, "Defence wins championships." Yes it does. But not exactly. I think Neutrality truly wins championships. I mean you got teams like the Suns who havn't won championships because they play no defence. You can't win like that. And that's why I think Phoenix lost against Portland. Portland is a neutral team. They play a little bit of D and a little bit of O. Remember last year that the Lakers won that way. They played both ends. I mean if you have a team that plays amazing defence but can't score a lick. They won't win it all. Now Portland beat Phoenix because Phoenix only plays one way and Portland puts the effort on both ends even when short handed. Actually it seems they put up more effort when short handed than when they're full. Not saying they play better. Now I'm beginning to get the idea that Portland can win this series. And I'm not saying this just because of this game. But I'm saying this for their demeanor. They're motivated. Phoenix might lose because of their demeanor. Phoenix better step it up or this series will end in 5. Phoenix does not play Playoff basketball and never had. Their biggest weakness is obviously their defense. And the guy that has to step up the most is Steve Nash. Why am I saying it since he scored 25 with 9 assists shooting 10-18 from the field? Because he's the weak point of the defence. He's always been that for them. They brought Shaq to match upagainst the Spurs. The reason Phoenix could never win was because Nash can't guard Tony Parker. Andre Miller is no Tony Parker, but he's still a talented point guard. And Miller is gonna beat Nash all the time. Especially since his height and physical ability. Although Andre can't really do much for Portland against Nash either. Phoenix is gonna have a tough series if they played the way they did. And it could prove that Phoenix is over seeded. They are not as good as their seed and Portland might prove it.
