Stop posting jibberish and answer the question
Thomas could be back anytime after the All-Star break. That'll be big. Amare has been playing great, but they can't ride him yet. He can't get worn down. He's as big come playoff time as Nash is, but for different reasons. Amare needs Thomas to wear out the opposition's best rebounder and post scorer for the 20 minutes KT gives. Amare just isn't ready to play 38 minutes a night on both ends yet. Not for the better half of a season and the playoffs, anyways...
Can't afford losses if you wanna catch the Mavs my lost friend.....
you think i'm constantly walking around wearing sexy $300 lingerie from la perla?!?!??!
I wish he would play Rose more. Rose is good at getting to the basket and he might be able to make plays for others. I think asking Barbosa to make plays is too much. Barbosa should only worry about scoring where he is more effective.
OK, if the Suns are 3 games back of the Mavs in the West will they still be ranked #1 in the Hollinger Poll?
The only "poll" that matters is the AmareLOOMS poll my friend and here it is:
1. MAVS
2. Everyone else
Of course they will, according to Hollinger's amazing scientific formula he came up with
Here's hoping for a completely healthy Suns team after the All-Star break. Otherwise, D'Antoni's going to run some of our guys into the ground...
Not entirely his fault, though. Burke and Banks are dreadful, and Rose isn't much better.
Barbosa's been great with the scoring...of course I yell expletives at the TV when he scores because I'm a Mavs fan, but I'll admit, his moves are very impressive!
D'Antoni is so weird sometimes, like with Nash's health. I know he's an optimistic guy but he just sounds like he's out of the loop when talking about Nash's back, like he thought he was going to play today and he expects him to play in the next game but Nash sounded pretty neutral about the whole thing, like he was just being cautious. They just don't seem like they're on the same page.
I don't think the Suns are really that worry about catching the Mavs. Granted getting the #1 seed in the West would be great but not at the expense of Nash being hurt going into the playoffs. Plus having homecourt against the Mavs is a bonus not necessary. After all they have beaten the Mavs in Dallas in the playoffs. They are quite capable of doing it again if needed. With the East as bad as it is if the Suns win the West they will more then likely have HCA in the Finals.

Is public spin I guess. Nash's back is more of a concern then they let on because of his age. Thats why Nash according to other Suns players is more vocal this year about doing whatever it takes to win the le.Barbosa's been great with the scoring...of course I yell expletives at the TV when he scores because I'm a Mavs fan, but I'll admit, his moves are very impressive!

Rose doesn't even get enough minutes to prove that one way or another. What about Raja tonight? He didn't exactly contribute much. Banks was not horrible either, he had 7 assists, a block and was 4-8 in FGs (check Marion's FGs)...not great, but he's an average backup pg and has kind of been tossed in there to play all those minutes.
my baby bulls are beastin!
He should have played Rose more with Raja playing that awful. What did he have to lose by giving him serious minutes?
I'll be slapped for this, this site being a Spurs site and all, but at this point, I'm more confident with the Suns vs. the Spurs in the Semi-Finals, then the Suns vs. the Jazz. Not that things can't change, but right now, with Dallas being #1, Phoenix #2, San Antonio #3 and Utah #4, about the only real drawback to falling to #2 is the loss of homecourt if'n the Suns reach the Conference Finals. The Spurs would be a tough out for the Suns or Mavs, but the Suns play better vs. San Antonio. They just get amped for the game and that could make the difference for them.
This may be true but I just don't see the Mavs playing another ridiculous 7 game first-round series and going into the second round against a team that swept the first-round. IMO, that does matter. Anyway, you're right about the HCA with the Finals, nobody in the east will come close except for maybe the Pistons, and that's a long shot at best. Anyway, I think health is waaay more important than focusing on HCA, which won't mean anything if the best players are not 100%.
suns lack of d is the reason they lost
not because they did not have nash
but since they lose they will think nash deserves the mvp
Well they can slapped me also but I agree with you. No one in the West wants to see Dallas in the 1st or even 2nd round if possible. I rather see the Spurs or one of the LA teams or even Denver before Dallas. You know the Mavs are going to take a buzzsaw to thier 1st round opponent.
Actually, Utah has passed the Spurs with today's loss.
Haha, I prefer the Mavericks play either the Clippers or Nuggets in the first round rather than the Rockets and Lakers.
Well !Still, the intent remains... I'll be pulling for the Spurs the rest of the way out. I need them to overtake Utah now that Phoenix has pretty much falling off the pace for best overall record.
They actually played pretty decent defense in the 3rd. Chicago only scored 18 points in the period but they simply ran out of gas getting back into the game.
Clips or Nuggets= Mavs sweep
