2005 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semi Finals Wrap Up
#1 Phoenix Suns vs #4 Dallas Mavericks
(110.41 PPG #1 in Scoring) (102.5 PPG #3 in Scoring)
(103.29 PPG #30 in Defense) (96.75 PPG #14 in Defense)
(+7.12 #2 in Scoring Differential) (+5.74 #4 in Scoring Differential)
Steve Nash scored 39, and he was a rebound away from back-to-back triple doubles. Shawn Marion scored 38 and pulled down 18 rebounds. Amare Stoudemire fouled out in the fourth quarter, Dallas had a good lead, but couldn't get it done. I bet Mark Cuban regrets getting Erick Dampier instead of re-signing 2005 NBA MVP Steve Nash. I bet that has to go down as one of the worst free agent decisions in the NBA in the last 5 years.
Phoenix wins series 4-2

#2 San Antonio Spurs vs #3 Seattle SuperSonics
(96.19 PPG #18 in Scoring) (98.93 PPG #11 in Scoring)
(88.39 PPG #1 in Defense) (96.64 PPG #13 in Defense)
(+7.8 #1 in Scoring Differential) (+2.29 #7 in Scoring Differential)
It looks like the better team won. I thought Seattle had a chance, but they had too many injuries to overcome to win. The Spurs now await the winner between Dallas and Phoenix. The Spurs have had success against both teams this year. They have won 2 of 3 games against Phoenix, and the only loss was when Tim Duncan was out with an ankle injury.
