Agree. Suns looks like a Championship contender out there tonight. Fighting for every possession, boxing out and playing solid defense.
in big trouble...they are going to kill eachother and then be out of gas against a well rested Suns team
I wouldnt be surprised to see a Suns vs Lakers WCF

Any chance Robin will be back for first/second round of the playoffs or is he done for the season?
If Suns win this they get the third seed correct?
Bring em on. First the Spurs, than the suns? This is how the West playoffs are supposed to go.
It's 2006 all over again
Robin returns at the earliest in the 2nd round, but my money is on him not returning at all. Portland w/o Roy should be a win for Phoenix. The winner of SA/Dallas vs. Phoenix will be tough but it's something Phoenix is more than capable of. The only way Phoenix makes the finals is if OKC or Utah/Denver knocks LA off for us. They're not beating LA without Lopez.
I'm morbidly curious how the Jazz/Denver series will turn out. Normally it's an automagic win for the Jazz, but they'll be the road team.
suns always find a way to lose to the spurs
easy sailing when they beat the mavs and face utah in the end
Utah probably can't beat Denver and no way either Denver/Utah get past LA![]()
Phoenix is looking good enough to beat anyone in the West other than the Lakers and Mavs, but the lesser Collins brother and Charmin Frye in the middle (or D'Antoni-style smallball with Amarė at center) could shatter that pretty quick.
The Suns are good enough to beat the Mavs, but they really need Robin Lopez back to do so. The Mavs have too much size, Haywood would eat the Suns ALIVE.
Mavs --> Suns --> Lakers --> ? --> CHAMPIONSHIP!
Now that would be a nice run.
PHX IS looking good. I'm almost happy for them. They have suffered enough.
They are beasting right now.
They are playing the best ball in the league right now.
If we beat the Spurs, we'll beat the Suns.
Spurs are better than the Suns IMO.
I think Mavs/Spurs have already their hands full in round 1. no reason to think of round 2
Lakers have an easy road now to the WCFs. No Spurs or Mavs in the way.
cannot ing believe they caught more breaks this year again...
last season: banged up Jazz, banged up Houston, mentally banged up Denver and a banged up Nelson (Laker killer) in the finals.![]()
Can you imagine if Orlando and Phoenix play eachother in the Finals? Two of the best bigs in the league going against eachother in 3-point happy systems.
Best case scenario is...
Suns over Portland in 4/5, get some rest
Suns over San Antonio in 5/6, get some rest and gain confidence by slaying the demon
Denver beats Los Angeles in 6, is tired from the series
Suns beat Denver in 5/6 to advance to the Finals
Not gonna happen, but they would have homecourt throughout in this scenario, and beating even a down Spurs team would give them so much confidence that they could become a world beater (until they lose to Cleveland, that is).
Suns would eat the Spurs lunch. J-Rich won't miss dunks in the PO.
The Western playoffs are going to be awesome. The Eastern... erm... probably not so much.
