The Suns are just awful.
Why not? Good PG, great defensive SF, rebounding center...a bunch of role players making it happen.
I see your comparison, except for the whole Rip Hamilton aspect. Aldridge/Sheed as well...

Re: WC Playoffs: (3) Suns vs. (6) Blazers
Playing like crap on TNT? Go figure. I underestimated this matchup horribly. The Blazers front line is long and active. Amare's getting neutrazlized, Grant Hill has virtually disappeared, and there's no Fropez to make Miller/Bayless respect the paint. Speaking of disappearing acts, with every Suns loss you'll notice Richardson being M.I.A. ....... That 23-6 regular season finish means absolute D*CK right now. I love how a team that's relatively poor at 3 point shots is hitting them in the clutch. I mean Batum in the corner?

You're comparing a NBA champion to a team that won game 1 of the first round of the Playoffs?

I think my main point is that the Blazers are getting it done with a bunch of role players, just like the Pistons. I'm not saying every player is exactly the same.

I think its like 8-9, but I believe almost all of that was with Juwan Howard playing center (before they had Camby).

WOW. You have the best avatar. The nugget mascot thrusting was sooo funny
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.
