Which is a shame because being in the league as long as he has been there he should be fined for putting his team in such ahole to start the year off. Its just plain irresponsibilty on Shaqs part. I remember when he came to the Suns all you heard about was how he was going to deliver Nash a ring and get his sixth and now it seems as if he cant even help them get into the playoffs. They would have been better off without him if you ask me .I think that if you would to give Hill all the touches the Shaq has had this year that you wouldn't even have to worry about making the playoffs. T-ROY SIGNING OUT SCREAMING GO DUKE BLUE DEVILS TONIGHT AGAINST VILLINOVA But I will say that if Shaq would have of been in as good of shape at the beginning of the year that he is in now ,we might be talking about who’s trying to catch the Suns to get into the playoffs.

I do agree that the Cavaliers are looking more and more like the outright favorite to win it all. 1 loss at home is ridiculous! I do think the Lakers are beatable. Lakers and Suns always make for good drama and as Dennis mentioned below at least it would be entertaining! Back to Grant Hill, he looked like he was 26 not 36 last night....his game winning shot was almost Jordanesque holding the ball out with one hand and then drilling a fadeaway. Thanks for your comments and keep them coming! Troy,

I mean if we are going to call a spade a spade, you have to know that the Lakers or the Cavz have got the NBA title wrapped up this year . With the year that both of them had i truly think that the only team out there that has a chance at either of them would have to be the Magic. And thats only because there is no one in the league thats going to be able to hold down superman (thats right Suns fans , the real superman of the NBA is residing in Orlando),and that is still a long stretch. I mean the only good reason for the Suns to reach the playoffs this year would be to try and make the owners a little more money at the gate and at the consession stands.This wasnt meant to piss anyone off for Gods sake i pull for the Bobcats and we all know the year that they are having.Adam you keep putting these blogs up i can coment on just about anything in sports.Headstrong i guess lol.

Like I said I can't blame the players at all. I am so happy for Grant Hill, after so many years of injuries he deserves it! He would have been regarded as one of the greatest of all time if he was not injured; he was simply that talented. I still hope we win tonight and Dallas loses but I am just being realistic; possibly to avoid being heartbroken by this team again! Hey Dennis,

He just isn't a good fit. Not sure what Dallas would offer maybe a 2nd round pick? Yeah that would be nice to get rid of Shaq. He just isn’t a good fit.

Utah has been having it's troubles of late and the Mavs could very easily back out of the playoff picture. Tonight's game vs the Jazz will be very informative. A win will keep a flicker of hope alive and create some additional excitement. After all, what we are talking about is not sport but entertainment. The Suns are at least entertaining again. The bench players are absolutely carrying the franchise. Their level of frenetic play and toughness is just simply wonderful. If Stromile Swift every figures out what he is supposed to do.... look out! I have to applaud the Coach, Alvin Gentry, for his decision to play Dudley in place of Barnes at the end of the game. Barnes was elsewhere all evening. He needed to be on the bench during the final minutes. Who can say enough about Grant Hill? What a terrific player. Steve Nash played some inspired defense. Put it all together and the Suns had a nice win. It will be equally tough tonight against Utah. There is still a little ray of hope for a berth in the playoffs.

But who knows, as so far with this season it seems to be apparent then anything is possible. Spite the lose of amare and now also barbosa, then suns bench has really stepped up to help them out. Amundson, Dudley, Barnes, Lopez,and Dragic have all put in some time to help out the starters. So ya never know what can happen.
