Both teams will still want to get homecourt and don't count out the Spurs. Whichever team wins the West will more than likely have HCA in the Finals against whatever team wins the east.

These two teams have been putting on quite a performance the first half of the season with neither wanting to give up any ground.
When you think the Mavs might lose, they find a way to win; the Suns doing likewise. Both teams have put together two long winning streaks.
It's going to be a fun second half as these two battle for home court advantage, but in the end it really doesn't matter to either of them because they both know they can win on the road.

Haha, the Suns barely got that win in Houston tonight...it wasn't until the third quarter that I realized T-Mac was a DNP for the game. Damn, if he had played, Rockets would've easily won that game.
Because he didn't play, the Suns came out flat. Suns beat the Rockets by 11 last time and T-Mac and Yao were both in the lineup. This time it was a 9-point victory, but the runs they had in the 2nd and 3rd quarters were things of beauty. At least they didn't have to count on Devean George winning it (wink)...
i sure do like pumpkins, RonMexico.
Mavs.
haha, nice
hey, at least that means we're alive, whereas your team...
Don't start this logic, ponky. It's flawed. Alston gave them McGrady's requesite 20+. He doesn't go for 29 if McGrady jacks up 25 shots.
Also, I wouldn't be talking about needing an extended period of time to get up for some lesser games, as I believe Dallas barely escaped its Sunday game against Toronto with the win, but more importantly, didn't claim a lead until very late in the fourth quarter.
Good for one, good for all...
As for the question? No telling. Each team is for real and each have a legit shot at 60+ wins.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns get the best record in the NBA...they are just hard to beat in the regular season and lately have faced teams when key people are out. Think the Mavs still beat em even if they have to win one in Phoenix come playoff time
Phoenix is going to fall apart before too long. Look at all the minutes the key guys play. In my daily look at boxscores I see this beauty for Phoenix last night against a short-handed Houston team.
Minutes
Diaw - 24
Marion - 44
Amare - 41
Nash - 37
Bell - 41
Barbosa - 35
Jones - 18
Everyone else - DNP-CD
And thats it. 7 players. In January. Maybe I'm making too much of the issue. Maybe Phoenix will have plenty in the tank come playoff time to whoop everyone's ass. But if not, they are slitting their own throat.
I keep waiting for Nash to wear down but it just isn't going to happen. The way it looks now, Nash might play until he is 40! And D'Antoni must be an offensive genius. The whole system is based on rhythm. He can plug anybody in that system and they automatically become a spectacular 3 point shooter. Quinten Richardson, Tim Thomas, Jumaine Jones, it doesn't matter. Just stick them in there and, in rhythm, they can hit all the shots the need.
If I was an opposing coach, I would play zone against the Suns most of the game as that get them out of rhythm and the shots won't fall as often. Don't get me wrong, they will still hit shots and Stoudmire might have a great series, but all those outside shooters wouldn't be as good against the zone. Remember, the Heat beat the Mavs last year by playing zone most of the time. Teams should do the same agains the Suns.
It will be interesting.
At the stupid Suns coaches.
Phoenix doesn't play alot of the bench most games and that hasn't changed since Nash arrived. I think their conditioning is such that they have gotten used to it.
As much as I hate to slight the Spurs, the Suns are the number one enemy now.
I've heard all the arguments against the Suns (defense, built for regular season, players overplayed, etc..) but the fact remains that they are consistently kicking teams butts and have gotten to the WCF for two years running. One of those without Amare.
Amare is back. And if that doesn't scare you as a Mav fan you need to take your blinders off.
The logic is the same as all the Suns fan whining about how Amare wasn't around last season. The difference, which you conveniently left out is that had T-Mac played, there would've been one more very, very good shooter to cover defensively, makes the job harder for the Suns on D. Mavs suck ass in noon time games and playing against a team with Chris Bosh and some good guys like Bargnani, Garbajosa and Calderon is not quite the same as playing against a team with Rafer Alston, Luther Head and Battier.
^^Oh give me a break ponky! Now I really know you are clueless!!
She is always right and perfect. I love Ponky.....please be my baby momma
^^And you are an idiot!
suns i have a slight feeling they will win it all
fillmoe and i would like to see ponky naked
here's a thought, which of these teams will win the le?
answer: i'll give you a hint...neither. lol.
Hahaha well it sure won't be the Spurs.....
Wow, you actually made a nice argument..........not. It's really pretty simple why it matters that T-Mac didn't play, if you can't figure it out, I can't help you, watch basketball for a couple of more years and then get back to me. Oh wait, you're a Suns fan, you think anything is possible.
Yeah honestly if anybody thinks that not having McGrady doesn't hurt the Rockets or make them easier to defend is an idiot.
Ponky and SCLakeshow:
We played the Rockets with Yao and Tracy earlier in the year and beat them. What is your excuse for getting blown out by the Rockets with both Yao and Tracy playing. And a funny stat against both of your teams is that Tracy only scored eight points against both of your teams but both of your teams were blown out (though Mavs were blown out by thirty-one points). So, I think it is safe to say that the Suns were not excited about playing the Rockets without both of their best players. Not a good habit that I would endorse but it would explain them having to fight harder than usual against the Rockets in that game. Ponky, when the Rockets played you last, Tracy basically took most of the shots thus alienating most of his team and making them bystanders and eventually he wore out ( much like Kobe has done in the past), yet you only beat them by thirteen points, so no great accomplishment. So, your point makes no sense. By the way, I am no rookie to the game of basketball either.
