I'm sure it has nothing to do with our recent playoff clinch. Nothing at all.

Oh, guess what --- Shawn Marion is still out, too.

Also, Nash from the East Valley Tribune: "The Suns were assured of a spot in the postseason Sunday night when Seattle beat Denver. And as long as they can't hold the playoffs without them, they seem satisfied. 'I really don't care about home court,' said Nash, repeating a mantra he has dutifully held all season. 'We're probably not going to get it in the second or third round anyway, and if you can't win in the first round, you're not worth it anyway. What's the big deal? We're in, and now we have to work to become the best team we can possibly be and continue to improve. It would be great (if we could move up) but all in all, I don't know if it's going to make that much difference. We have to play well, no matter who or where we play.'"

I think Nash meant that it's more important to be playing well and to reach their potential instead of struggling and worrying about getting homecourt. Cause if they just kill themselves trying to win games and running their players to the ground they won't even make it past the first round.

That's what he probably was trying to say.

This is a good thing...

Maybe some bench players can earn some minutes for the playoffs...here's hoping...

The Tucker sighting is looking more and more like a possibility, hopefully raja and hill only play about 10-20mps from here on out if at all.

That wasn't in reference to Shaq.
