The schedule has been brutal if you look at back to backs and road games. This with a ‘new’ team not in their mid season form is going to make losing to anyone possible and getting the Lakers at their home at the end of back to backs looks exceedingly unfair. The biggest ‘problem’ I see
remains living by the three. Live by the three die by the three. This team nees Blur more than I suspected, but the substitutions don’t make a lot of sense. This is what I felt hurt them last year. If you lose anyway why not get bench guys more time? They will come along if given the chance. Starters will wear down if given the chance, I don’t care their age. Go Suns. Good ridance Shaq. nothing personal

Thanks Suns for at least giving us the 12 “games” of Christmas. I have said it many times in the past, Steve Nash is a great assist guy, can score and run the floor. But, and it’s a big one, his defensive liabilities are the worst at his position in the NBA. This fact causes havoc in any defensive scheme. Barea of Dallas lit us up last night and it cost the game. Why? Because everytime we have to rotate due to Nash and Amare’s lack of defense it disrupts further an already defensively lacking team. Suns have a good team, it’s just not good enough to get out of the second tier. I rest my case.

The Suns are a team that are going to have those up and down small runs with wins and losses. But, they can not lose to teams like the Knicks or the Hornets (even if Paul is playing). They have a big 5 game stretch where they have the potential to win 3 maybe 4 and I hope that they can. They don’t have the star power that the elite teams have but they have the capability to play with those teams. I agree with John that the “reality” button has been pushed and they are a good team. Good Luck!

I have pushed the “reality” button myself. Suns just beat the Kings and yet they did nothing to soften my impression that to continue to play like we have since the Knicks game will result in a low or bottom playoff spot and a quick exit. Sure we have a good team, but the NBA is full of those. Going to the next level is a whole lot more difficult and so is the competition. Even if the teams for the first 12 games may have not included many tough guys we were playing a much more aggressive, defensive, intelligent, all out style. Since the Knicks game it’s been Di’Antoni 101. Something happened to the chemistry and you can see it with the players body language. The Kings scored at will on 2nd chance and up the middle baskets. Were just standing around and watching now. It’s as if the players collectively decided it’s just takes to much effort to play with heart. Big questions in this mystery. What happened with Amundsen, what has happened to player moral behind the scenes, what happened with the chemistry?
