How are the Suns still winning w/out Stoudemire?

Brett is %40 correct. Shawn Marion has to get credit. He is another %40. He is also leading the team in points(21.6 ppg), rebounds(11.9 rpg), blocks(1.9 bpg), and steals(2.0 spg). %5 goes to the rest of the team. You can't win games with 2 players. %15 goes to coaching. They are doing a great job without Stoudemire.

Most def Steve Nash is gonna win. Look at his numbers. 19 ppg and 11 apg. That's bananas. And look at PHX record. 42-18. Just imagine what they could've done if Amare was healthy. Probably would be better then the Pistons. But Nash has lifted his team by himself to the top of the league.

SUNS BABY!!! We finally got on track again - Nash, LB, 3D, TT, Matrix, are all on it...The Lakers never should have let us up off the mat. They can't run with us - we have shown we can get physical, and Smush, Kwame, and the rest (besides Odom) have tightened up. S-U-N-S Suns Suns SUNS!!!

The suns are the best team left in the playoffs , they run and gun, and everyone thinks they can keep up with them, but the fall into that trap, i love the suns, i am a die hard fan. Steve nash two time mvp is the best point guard ever, the pheonix suns this year were not supposed to make it anywhere, with the injury to amare stoudamire, and kurt thomas, and all the trades that went on we were not supposed to be better than .500. But we perceviered, we had he mvp on the team and he said we will never quit, then out of no where players like raja bell, tim thomas, and boris diaw had break out years, and lets not even talk about shawn marion. his team has a full head of steam and no noe can stop then. I look for the suns to win this game in 5 games. Ill give dallas 1 game.

yes, they still have to focus on their goal. the championship of course. and nash and the suns have been trouble for the mavs, but i think by beating SA they have gotten over the hump , which is also a HUGE mental hill they were able to surpass. they can do it as long as they stick w/ their plan and work as a team as the only other true 'team' left is detroit. the other teams have only a few players which can hurt dallas, as the spurs did.

The Suns play as a team,I think they can win it.

Yeah, the Heat are doing really well, and I believe they are going to win the title.  The Mavericks and Suns look too ambivalent, on one night off the next.  Neither one seems to have the competitive caliber to knock off the Heat.  \n\nI have been impressed with the Heats' lineup: Shaq and Wade your stars, but also Payton, Walker (who is an extremely valuable, all-around player), Mourning, etc.  \n\nAs far as I am concerned, who really cares who wins the West.  Good basketball but nothing above and beyond.

No contest buddy. The playoffs are a different story: the tempo gets slower and you need to bring your game to a higher level. The suns will have to play the MVP and best active player in the nba in kobe bryant, which is no easy task. Its not even kobe either, people keep forgetting that the lakers are actually a legitimite team with a resurgent Kwame Brown living up to his potential and Lamar Odom, who is a triple double threat every night. Add smush parker and a much improved luke walton and you got the lakers going to the second round. A seven game series where the suns try to run will be their own demise. Steve Nash isnt god. Kobe Bryant will solidify his claim for the MVP.

Steve Nash.  The Suns are almost as good as they were last year, and they don't have Amare Stoudamire this year.  Nash makes everybody around him better (several of their players are averaging a career high in points scored).  Put it this way, they wouldn't be as good if they had Stoudamire and didn't have Nash.\n\nAfter that, I'd go with Nowitzki, Billups, Wade, and LeBron, although not necessarily in that order.

You seem to have a problem with putting together a relevant sentence, so I will answer what you might possibly mean.\n\n-Amare Stoudemire owns himself, and you cannot literally "get him."\n\n-If you mean date him, then you can find him in the Arizona Biltmore neighborhood, right outside of Phoenix arizona, and attempt to court him.\n\n-If you are an NBA coach and would like to sign him, you have to wait until his contract is up and offer him a better contract than any other team, or attempt to trade him, possibly straight up for Kevin Garnett.\n\n-For fantasy basketball, you can check out the Fantasy rules on NBA.com, or ESPN.com, etc.\n\nOn another note, you should learn to ask questions that make sense to people other than your imaginary friends.

Hello!? Did someone say Phoenix? Well I hate to say this being a Nash fan, but the Suns have NO answer for Kobe Bryant. This guy showed us that he can pass when the stakes are high and chips are low. He pumped it into Odom and company while grabbing 29 or whatever for himself. This guy scored 81, so the Suns HAVE to guard him tight, or he'll SMOKE them. However, when they guard him with 2 guys he is sooo good at finding the open man. \n\nEither way the Suns are FOOL--fresh out of luck.

Alot of fingers can be pointed. Lamar Odom had a really good game, nearly a triple double had he dished another assist. Yes you can blame him, in crucial seconds such as that, everything has to be performed at it's peak. You have the lead, you cannot make little mistakes such as not boxing out your opponent, because as you could see little mistakes such as that had such an enormous impact on Phoenix's victory the other night. Lamar Odom must continue to keep his head in the game, and stay focused and not allow a missed shot to relax him so quickly. Of course the missed shot was a relief to him, but still there's no excuse for not boxing out, but you win as a team, you lose as a team.

I think they will advance to the 2nd round.  They are a team on the rise, but I don't see them defeating the Suns this year.

nope, they are a great team but dirk is not good under pressure, and the suns are a better team anyway

I was surprised when the Suns pulled the trigger on that deal, but I guess Mike D'antoni knows he's doing. He's done a great job so far considering they lost three main guys this season.

if luck doesnt exist, then the suns should have won the series by now. 2 magical improbable buzzer beating shots by kobe in a single game? how many shooting stars must have had to fall in LA before that happened. game 4 was merely stolen by the lakers, with luck and, well kobe's innate instinct to shoot everytime. big whoop. the suns showed their grit by running them out in game 5, and finally spittin' in the lakers' turf on game 6. the lakers have absolutely NO CHANCE IN HELL in winning game 7. some people say that the suns are choke artists when it comes to close games; well they just proved in game 6 that they can make the necessary plays when the game is on the line.\n\ngame 7, suns will reach 110 points and win it by at least 15.

Are you kidding?... The only reason its going this long is the Suns are mot playing up to par... the Suns are going to close it out and probably go on to crap out against the clippers... Wow awesome im so impressed...
