SCOUTING REPORT: Since they've never won an NBA title, the Suns drew the seventh seed despite this star-studded roster. With Nash on the point and an entire lineup full of guys who can run and gun, look for Phoenix to try and wear down San Antonio's big men with a high-octane offense. And the half-court offense isn't exactly soft, with great outside shooting and Hawkins and Stoudemire inside. The question is if the Suns will bother to play any D.
