Nate McMillan is one of the best coaches in the NBA, but he must have done something in a previous life to anger the pro hoops gods. First Greg Oden goes down for the year and now Brandon Roy will be at best damaged goods in the playoffs.

The Blazers will compete, with or without Roy, but they don’t have the legs to hang with the Suns.

After a first-round flameout in 2008 and missing the playoff entirely last season, the Suns appear locked and loaded for a decent run this time around.

Amare Stoudemire has been a Top-5 player over the second half of the season, and with Steve Nash running the show, Phoenix looks just too athletic for the Blazers to handle. McMillan will try his best to control tempo and PG Andre Miller might take 7.8 seconds to get the ball past halfcourt on every possession, but the Blazers figure to get worn down in this series.

Give them gold stars on their foreheads for effort, though.

Trailblazers vs Suns Series Betting Odds:
Trailblazers +400
Suns -600

Blazers vs. Suns Prediction: Phoenix in 5.

Totals players might want to keep a close eye on the O/U numbers posted in this series. The lowest Suns number in the last month was 205, and numbers in the 214-218 range are not uncommon.

Portland has no chance in a track meet and has no option but to slow things down, so a play on the under might have value.
