Even with Kobe scoring 37 points, the Jazz whooped the best team in the NBA. No doubt Deron Williams is a monster and theyre playing very good basketball. Also Dallas is playing well in the past week or so beating Miami, Orlando, and Portland, All contending teams.

It was known that Dallas, Utah, And Phoenix are fighting for the last playoff spots. Right now, Can the suns even compete right now?? Last year we were worried about making to the finals, this year, I don't even think we can make it to the Playoffs. Utah will only get better, and Dallas still won without Jason Terry.

The change should be NOW !! Not after the All star Break, but like ... NOW.. tomorrow would be a dream come true ... who cares if Phoenix is hosting the all star and the change "should be" after, they need all the time they can get to adjust to the dramatic changes.

I want to wake up in the morning, log on NBA.com and see Porters face, caption "FIRED" or something in the form of a trade.

For the team right now? They should stay out of playoff to avoid a first round sweep.

Though, a right deal and all-star break can and will bring life back to this team.

The Suns are behind Utah a game but with the same loss record. The Suns are sitting comfortably in 9th place in the Western Conference. Right now it's looking like the Suns better prepare for the lottery. :bang:

I doubt the league would like the Suns trading Amare or Shaq before the ASG. Obviously I wish Porter was gone already. I just don't see Kerr admitting he is a failure in hiring Porter. He will lay it at the feet of players with large contracts that don't produce. It's sad really... what a bad GM can do including hiring a bad coach.

Dear lord.

If the Suns had Utah's injury problems this year they'd have fifteen wins at best.

But the Suns play so much better defense because of Porter. I better take a drink to soothe the pain.

:beer:

Lol thats why I think utah is only going to get better, and Dallas showed they can win without Jason Terry. If Dallas beat Boston tomorrow, well ... then Houston ..errr Pheonix "we have a problem"

Sure Suns are right below Utah but records don't mean a thing when your competition is progressesing while we're playing like a team in the YMCA.

This team has officially failed this season. Period.

Unless a big trade shake things up, we can go fishing already.

I like the Suns over the Jazz to make the last playoff spot.

OK. Why are nearly ALL of your posts general statements? "I like the Suns over the Jazz to make the last playoff spot." Really? Thanks for the insight! Is there any actual REASON why you like the Suns over the Jazz for the 8th playoff spot?

It's been driving me nuts recently. I've noticed that none of your posts have any real substance. Do you post just to up your post count? (Or to show that you CAN talk about something other than Shaq?)

I wonder if I'm the only one that has noticed this. And if I'm the only one annoyed by it. Maybe I'm just crazy? Sorry to get on your case about this, but it's been bothering me lately. :madarms:

No thanks. I'd rather have a lottery pick.

And what good is a pick? Same geniuses who drafter Tucker, Strawberry, Dragic and Lopez will be deciding who to draft, assuming, of course, Sarver decides to keep the pick.

Good point. I guess there truly is no hope for the future after all. :(

I post to discuss the Phoenix Suns, as a team. Sorry if my answers aren't too your liking, but I couldn't care any less...

And for the sake of the arguement, I picked the Suns over the Jazz for the last playoff spot because quite frankly they are more banged up than we are. Sure you can spew off the case that they are slowly getting healthy, but no one on the Suns roster is out for periods of time, etc. I believe this team has a 2nd half of the season push like many teams with Shaq have had. Baring any major injuries, I think they get in over the Jazz...

The Suns haven't had any injuries which means that what we're seeing now is all they are capable of. That isn't too encouraging.

Realized that I was pretty harsh in my last message. I don't usually like to jump on people here. So I apologize.

It's just something that I've noticed recently. And I was in a pretty crappy mood last night.

Seriously, it was pretty much a two point game throughout, and they won by 4.

The bobcats beat the celtics and lakers, big deal. Games right before the all star break mean nothing. Dallas cannot beat the suns without terry. Terry is necessary for them to compete at a high level. As far as the lakers losing to the jazz, means nothing other than they took their all star break too soon.

And the Suns beat Cleveland... oh well, I guess not.
