Which Suns team does more playoff damage?

[JCSunsfan]

The team we had at the mid-point, and the seeding we had at the time of the Shaq trade, or the team we have now (with its present seeding).

The current team is more likely to stage a big run but also more likely to flame out in the first round.

Who would the Marion team face in the first round? That team was very good, but with Shaq they are better playoff-style team.

I can't answer this poll question. The Playoffs are about match-ups. I really felt that the Suns built with Marion could probably still get to the WCF as is provided we didn't have to play San Antonio before then. Then we would have had the same result.

I know people won't agree but I sort of like the match-ups better with the Lakers (minus Bynum) if we still had Marion versus Shaq. However, I think Shaq helps us better against the likes of San Antonio, Houston, Denver, Dallas etc.... Again, it depends on the match-ups.

There is just to many scenarios here where I would favor one over the other. So I guess I might comeback to this poll once the seedings are finalized.

I don't think the Suns would make it out the first round, considering that how strong the West is now after the all-star break, but who knows huh?

Well, Shaq was brought in for the playoffs, so far he's doing well during the season.
