They might also have a little more defense this year because Kurt Thomas is returning from injury and Amare is big enough to go inside and block shots. The Suns are the most exciting team the NBA has ever seen, and I don't see a lot of weaknesses in them this year. They have gotten to the Western Conference Finals each of the last two seasons, but they faded because they didn't have a lot of defense and Nash was worn down bcause he had to play most of the game. Well, this year he actually has a backup and the Suns have a lot more depth on the bench, which will take a lot of pressure off Nash, so they should and better be able to get over that large hump this time and into the NBA Finals, because they are the only professional sports team in Phoenix that is worth watching right now. The starving fans can't live through another disappointment, and that includes me.
