I'd choose KJ.

I wouldn't feel any different than I have the past decade. We've enjoyed many post-season opportunities and failed. So if for some reason we lost this series, it would be business as usual.
The Suns are definitely going to be going through a transitional phase and Nash will soon be gone, Amare' isn't a definite (not sure I would want to keep him anyway) and only time will tell if Dragic has it in him to be a decent replacement for Nash. Dragic doesn't have eyes in the back of his head like Nash does.
Like I said, it's been year after year of watching a team with no killer instinct. I'm tired of seeing stats over the years where the Suns were first in PPGs or first in 3 pointers, etc. Who cares about the regular season when it's just a pole position for the REAL season? I see something in this team this year that is quite different and that's why I was hopeful coming into this series.
If we play the Lakers, the way I look at it is if we had the same team from the past decade, we will lose miserably. This year, I'm a little more hopeful that we can beat them. We have shown we can play in away games and we have enough versatility from the bench that the odds of finding someone with the hot hand is more likely this season. Our defense has finally stepped up a bit and I'm interested how Lopez can come back from the back issue and defend the paint.
Neither one of our teams has had any real good games this series. The Suns have had a few games with an anemic first half. The Spurs have not clicked on these games as well. It was absolutely atrocious in prior years watching Tony Parker surgically dismantle the Suns layup after layup.
