... just wanted to mention that there are some old Suns' games on NBA TV this week.

Monday, April 6/Tuesday, April 7: Houston Rockets at Phoenix Suns, Game Seven of the 1995 Western Conference Semifinals (early morning)
This game constituted one of the most memorable and thrilling in franchise history; I also have never come across it on NBA TV before. It is an early-morning broadcast (check the link), so most people would probably need to DVR it. Given the quality of this game and its impact on Suns' history and NBA history, dong so would be worthwhile. Late in the NBC broadcast, Steve "Snapper" Jones reminds Bill Walton, "This isn't the championship game yet, Bill," and Walton retorts, "You could have fooled me. I thought this was the championship!"
Tuesday, April 7/Wednesday, April 8: Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Lakers, Game Six of the 2006 Western Conference First Round (late morning/early afternoon and also early morning the next day)
This game was another thriller in an elimination setting for the Suns. That club also amounted to the best passing team that Phoenix has featured in the last twenty-plus years (Boris Diaw at his peak to accompany Steve Nash) and played five guys who could function effectively from the perimeter and the wings.
Wednesday, April 8/Thursday, April 9: Phoenix Suns at San Antonio Spurs, Game One of the 2008 Western Conference First Round (evening and also late evening/early morning)
This game might have been the wildest playoff contest of the Nash era; I viewed it again last summer on NBA TV.
Thursday, April 9: Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Lakers, March 22, 2011 (late evening)
This game might have been the most memorable of a regular season that began the Suns' current non-playoff streak. Although Nash struggled through injury after the All-Star break that season, averaging just 10.0 points on .406 field goal shooting in 23 games, he was basically at his best in this contest.
