For more than a decade Gregg Popovich has been able to put Duncan down for 20-10 and spend his time dealing with the other four players on the court. <\/p>\n<p>When the Spurs and Suns tip off Monday night in Phoenix Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals series, much of the attention will be on Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire, and how they restored the team to elite status. <\/p>\n<p>Fans will also be trying to figure out how oft-injured Spur Manu Ginobili has turned into a scoring machine and what\u2019s going on with George Hill.<a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ymo7VEZ8gU2ZXdRsl6wLCi5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/basketball\/sportsbook_basketball_250x250_banner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Content in the background will be the 6-foot-11 Duncan, who is listed as a forward but plays in the paint. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan\u2019s playoff numbers (18.2 ppg and 9.5 rebounds) are virtually identical to the ones he put up during the regular season. Did anyone expect anything different?<\/p>\n<p>     Duncan and the Spurs were no lock to even quality for the playoffs, and they laughed at the seeding (7th) and promptly sent favored Dallas back to North Texas in 6 games. <\/p>\n<p>Now the Suns stand in their way of getting to yet another conference final, and the betting line has tightened considerably. San Antonio is at +110 to win the series, with Phoenix at -130.<\/p>\n<p>       The Spurs figure to be in their comfort zone for this series. The Suns are not carbon copies of the Mavericks, but the teams are similar. <\/p>\n<p>Nash, like Dallas\u2019s Jason Kidd, has the ball in his hands on 100 percent of his offensive possessions, and Stoudemire is a reasonable facsimile of Dallas\u2019s Dirk Nowitzki.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spurs vs. Suns Prediction: Spurs in 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> In the end is will come down to execution for three quarters and then which team can play the smartest in the final 5 minutes, and that team is San Antonio.
