Man I completely agree with you. I'm wistful of the old Bulls Knicks rivalry games....and the old Suns with Barkley.


GO SUNS this year. I hope they get their ring finally!

Suns have a GREAT squad, but they need to stop pretending that Steve nash is the heart and soul of the team...kinda the same way the Lakers need to quit thinking the same about Kobe.

EDIT:
The Suns are trying to run away with the lead now! And the ref's actually called a T on Nash!

The Lakers suck so bad it's almost a crime for them to make the playoffs.

They don't play defense and they are as one-dimensional on offense as you can possible be and still consider yourself an NBA team.

The Lakers aren't going to get past the first round. Kobe can't be asked to score 50 points every game if they are even dreaming of advancing anywhere in the playoffs.

Terrible 4th qtr by the Lakers. Freakin guard Raja Bell!!!

Raja Bell isnt the reason they lost. They lost because they can't play fundamental basketball.

They were down by 9 with like 4 minutes to go and they tried to execute a half court trap.

What happened? They ended up chasing Steve Nash around for 20 seconds until Nash got tired of running and threw an ally-oop to Amare.

Pathetic

No, Nash is a key ingredient...but guys like Bell, Stoudamire, Marion (combined) are the heart and soul of the squad.

If there were 3 mediorcre players instead of those three, the words "Nash" and "MVP" wouldn't be allowed in the same conversation.

There is no one central player to the suns. They just have a great combination possible to counter almost anything they see in the west. They've got great role players and everyone can score. Cant wait to see Kurt Thomas step it up and rock those big men in the playoffs (I love my ex-Knicks).
