Can't Figure Out These Suns

The Suns beat the Mavericks in impressive fashion this afternoon. The final score was 126-104. Phoenix shot 65% from the field for the game and an incredible 86% in the fourth quarter. My question is: "Where were these Suns when we watched them play here in Denver almost three weeks ago?!" I just can't figure these guys out. I think Steve Nash put it best when he said after the game today, "Sometimes to a fault we've played to the level of our competition." That may or may not work come playoff time. What they need to do is play every game with that killer instinct they were playing with for the first half of the season. The truth is that if they play with any lack of intensity, they can be beat by any team in the league. Their whole system relies on crisp player and ball movement. Without that, everything falls apart for them.

They play the Spurs on Thursday, so they have another big test coming up quick. Hopefully they have snapped out of the lethargic spell that has plagued them the last few weeks.

If they really do have their number, then they should have everybody else's number too. If they play like they did on Sunday through the end of the post season, then they'll be playing the last game of the post season...and hoisting the trophy!
