Do they ever lose? Sheesh. Second 15-game winning streak of the season. They're unconscious.

This is the first time I'm honestly looking forward to the playoffs. The Western Conference is going to be insane.

Yep. Dallas and Phoenix are on fire, but the Spurs, Lakers, Jazz, and Rockets will all contend.
The East absolutely stinks.

Steve Nash is frickin' awesome. But up here we've known that since he took down might Arizona in the NCAA's.
I love watching the Suns play.
The east is so bad. I hope the Raptors win their division with a losing record. that would be sweet

Go Big Red!!!

Just saw the Suns play live for the first time against the Wizards on Tuesday night. I believe I was looking at this years NBA champs. Nash is the fucking truth! Too bad they won't give the MVP award to a white guy three years in a row because of politics.

I'm a Lakers fan, so I'm biased. But before Phoenix starts making arrangements for its championship parade, I question several factors: (1) whether this team has peaked at the wrong time of the year; (2) the injury factor; they also seem to be blessed so far this year re: injuries which seems unlikely to hold; (3) the slow down effect of the playoffs; the game slows down generally; the "run and gun teams" don't often make it (think of the Dallas team with Nash and Nowitski several years back that couldn't break through).
Then again, I'm a Lakers fan . . .

I'm a Lakers fan too. Since the days of Jamal "Silk" Wilkes, Norm Nixon, and Bob McAdoo.  Good points about the Suns, but barring injury they are just out of their minds good. They aren't just winning. They are blowing people off the court. They dropped over 40 points on someone last week in the first quarter. Insane. |

The scored 71 first half points and were 11-13 from three point range also. All in the first half. |

right now the suns are just rolling teams, but in the playoffs it could easily be a different story. coaches can afford to develop schemes to try and shut the offence down in the playoffs where as in the regular season the coaching staff has to worry about the next opponent. i believe it was last season in the playoffs one of the teams forced nash to shoot the ball. he scored 50, but the suns lost. hopefully amare doesn't break down. i don't know if he'll ever get back the explosiveness he had before he hurt his knee, but they still need that inside presence or else they have to rely on jumpshots too much. |
Go Big Red!!!

Phil Jackson on the Suns: OK, now that Lamar Odom is back, the Lakers are ready to challenge for … second place? The Lakers led the Pacific Division, half a game ahead of the Phoenix Suns on Dec. 12 when Odom was hurt. The Lakers then went a surprising 12-9 without Odom, but the Suns went an even more surprising 20-2 to go seven games up. "With the momentum they've created this year, it's really hard to see that waning or ebbing," Coach Phil Jackson said of the Suns before Friday's game. "They've done the right things. They've created the right situation. Both they and Dallas are a level above the rest of the league right now." http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakerep27jan27,1,6383759.column?coll=la-headlines-sports-nba-lakers |

They got Amare Stoudamire back this season and that gives them a good shot at beating Dallas and San Antonio. Not saying it'll definitely happen though, but they have that window of opportunity that that Kings had a few years back. |

exactly, how quicky people forget, remember last year the Pistons were like 40-6 halfway through the season, finished with 64 wins, everyone saying they were unbeatable/comparing to the all time great teams ect ect...and they got whooped in the second round. 2 years ago teh SUNS had the best record in the NBA, hyped up to no end, all the talk was about their 'high octane offense ' then what happened, they met the spurs in the 2nd round and we fucking beat them at their own game-thats right, the spurs offense beat their own, and of course their total lack of defense got them damn enar swept by the spurs, spurs took it in 4-1 hahahahaha. now here we go again, the suns and their 'high octane offense' again being hyped to no end. |
