Yeah it blows that once again we have been beaten by the hated Spurs, but now it’s time to think of the future. Can we make any moves that will improve this team and yet avoid losing any huge pieces? Can we move up the draft or should be grab another pick instead? And who should we get with our pick? These are the questions that need to be explored in the upcoming weeks.

I think if anyone is getting to the point of hate from watching sports, they need to find a new hobby.

But, we could get 4 more guys from prison who are close to as big as shaq, and play them all at once when we play the spurs, we might not when, but that other team would be in the hospital….alright…thats not nice or fair….but I feel better just thinking about it

that’s the beauty of the nba, new players coming in all the time, just look at portland and how much better they are, and with oden coming in next year, what a difference a yr or 2 makes. It’s not all about winning a title, the suns have been fun to watch, but what’s so frustrating for me is seeing a team (the suns) who when playing well, are the best, or much, much better than a 1-4 series loss shows

There are a pile of great players – all timers – who finished their careers ringless because they happened to play at the same time as someone else. Ewing, Barkley, Stockton & Malone, Reggie Miller, ‘Nique, all those 90’s greats just had the misfortune of facing Jordan. The list of forgotten names from the 80’s is even longer for all the great players who didn’t make it onto the Laker or Celtic rosters.

This current Suns era has run up against a team that fields what many people is the best power forward to ever play the game, headed by a future hall of fame coach, and managed by what is commonly referred to as a front office that is a model for all the others to aspire to. The Suns were close. The team is not going to be blown up, and there will be adjustments.

we lost because of us.

Not because we didn’t have enough talent or skill.

But because we were unfamiliar with each other, unprepared, inflexible, and unreliable.

Because we didn’t keep doing the things that had worked for us these last four years.

Because when we handed the torch to the guy who wanted, above all things, to be the man, he dropped it.

Because we ultimately didn’t trust the one guy who had gotten us this far, and who had the ability to carry us along.

Because, deep down, we were scared.

fear of failure. fear of fate. everything.

Until this team stops being a hostage to it’s own fears, stops trying to second guess itself, and starts to truly, down to the bone, trust itself, then it will not win the title. That applies to everyone, all the way from the top of the organization to the bottom.
