That will be a great game.
I'm just glad they didn't do anything stupid like schedule Spurs-Bobcats as the first game. That would be a "Zzz." game because the Bobcats would just beat a team they're supposed to beat.
Youre really embarrassed aren't ya?
Its all here for everyone to see.

Maybe they don't get a ring for getting out of the first round, but pop open the champagne and raise the roof es, cause the Suns are Pacific Division Champs!

prove what? that a bunch of Suns homers in the media think a Suns series was exciting?
when does Nash wear his "First Round Ratings Champion" ring? I haven't seen him sporting it.
You forgot the scare quotes around expert and prove.
Embarrassed? Irony Alert!
Yeah, I'm embarrassed, because I slog off my team's failures by talking about how awesome Dirk's MVP award is, or Avery's Coach of the Year Award.
The only reason not to question you, is because you carry that rate and deadly type of stupidity that only a Suns fan could have.
The NBA should just put every Suns game on national TV.
Think about it...what were the best games from last year?
1) Suns vs. Mavs III
2) Suns vs. New Jersey (in New Jersey)
3) Suns vs. Wizards (in Phoenix)
4) Suns vs. Mavs II
5) Suns vs Bulls (in Chicago)
Any Im forgetting any?
there were alot of series better... no one gives a about first round teams except you.
Most important games from last year:
1) Spurs vs Cavs, Game 4
2) Spurs vs Cavs, Game 3
3) Spurs vs Cavs, Game 2
4) Spurs vs Cavs, Game 1
Warriors-Mavs Game 5 and Cavs-Pistons Game 5 own everything on your list.
idiot... theres no possible way for you to watch every single game.
first matchup of spurs vs mavs last season was pretty damn good.
Mavs fans were so humiliated in last years playoffs they all sort of morphed into Spurs jock lovers.
Where's Ponky at?
I hate the Spurs, but they have four things your team doesn't have. It's so embarrassing to fall back on ratings talk. I would too, though, if my team was fatally flawed.
So the NBA can just start the playoffs before the regular season?
The NBA needs to pick games for its regular season schedule.
Like i said, Suns are in all of the top games from last year.
And the Suns had some great playoff games themselves (Suns vs. Spurs game 4 & 5).
you didn't say anything about your list being regular season exclusive.
Instead of worrying about your team being most exciting to watch, maybe you should realize it's going to take alot more than being exciting to win a championship. And ooohh that series was "the greatest first round of all time"? thats not something to brag much about either.![]()
Kind of like a virgin bragging about how good a kisser he is.
So there are no games I am missing then?
The NBA should just reserve the right to exit a current game to switch to the Suns current matchup if its a good game.
What do you think the NBA execs were doing when TNT was playing Mavs vs. Pistons during the Suns vs. Nets epic matchup?![]()
They even brought the game up to Chauncey Billups during his post game interview!![]()
"Boy, I wish I could have watched THAT game"
- Chauncey Billups
So did everyone else Chauncey!
Pistons have won a Finals. Mavs have been to a Finals. More consequential. , even the ing Nets have been to a Finals.

A few thoughts in the wake of the Phoenix Suns' remarkable 161-157 double overtime win -- the most points in the baggy-shorts era -- over the New Jersey Nets . . .
The Nets-Suns game was basketball nirvana. Agree?
It was about as close to perfect basketball as you can get. The night's worst shooting team hits for 52 percent and wins. The turnovers were low (29) relative to possessions. And the showdown between Steve Nash (42 points, 13 assists) and Jason Kidd (38 points, 14 assists, 14 rebounds) was like a movie. It wasn't a matter of a team playing that poorly, or a complete lack of defense.
Hard to quantify these things, but this feels like one of the great ones.
A great game is relative to the cir stances. But this is one of those amazing regular-season games. Most people will not have seen it. In terms of pure basketball, I don't know if you're going to see a better game than what we saw -- we're talking about a combined 318 points.
Why can't all games be like this?
It's much more difficult to play that well offensively as it is to play equally as well defensively. The reason defense has been so successful through the history of sport is because it has proved to be something you can be more consistent with. Some nights, the ball just doesn't go in.
But what if it did?
If they were able to play at this level consistently, you might as well cancel the season and anoint the Suns NBA champs.
That brings us to Detroit. On the very same night as the Suns-Nets gem, a team that you believe has been the best physically the last four years won with a contrasting, slow-the-tempo approach, winning in Dallas, 92-82. Looked like the anti-Suns in a way.
When you look at Detroit, it's often the mental part of the game -- and not the physical -- where problems come in. You're going to play 82 games a season -- and you're going to have five or six games (like the Suns had) that are perfect. But there's going to be 75 or 76 that don't go well at some point. How you deal with adversity is vital. Look at how well-versed Miami was in it last year -- and it helped them play their best when it counted most. Perseverance is a great quality. That's the challenge for Detroit.
Notice how Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki eschewed his often effective 3-pointer for almost the entire game, looking to get to the line more.
Great winners who score the ball are the ones who go to the line. Larry Bird, MJ, Kobe Bryant The one thing they have in common is getting to the line -- that's an area Dirk has continued to improve in.
This is an X factor; it helps offset those nights when you don't shoot it well. It also helps when you are making it. That's when an offensive player is most effecive -- creating the contact and getting those free-throw points --- that's why they call them free.
What a night. Put Dirk's buddy Nash (42 points, 13 assists) into some perspective.
Nash has played the point guard position the last three years as well as it can be played.
Seems like people will remember this Nets-Suns game for a while.
I'm sure both sides felt like they won -- there's no question the fans won.
completely agree. suns are the best team in the nba
I think they won the ESPYs "Team of the Year" Award.
all the games the Suns lose, are rigged so they lose or else they would win every single game.
