So the Suns are now 3 games behind us in the standings. I love it.

I know this wont happen....
But for me if the Suns failed to make the playoffs.. It would ALMOST equal a title for the Lakers for me. That's how much I desire to see the Suns fail.

now that wouldnt be any fun would it
you know you wanna see the lakers destroy the suns in the playoff
see shaq, nash, and amare gather around and cry like babies
It would be awesome if Phoenix didn't make the playoffs for the simple reason that I could rub it in my friend's face for a long, long time considering he predicted Phoenix to win the Championship this season.

yeah, true, pau's defense is horrid.. he gets beat around in the post.. hell, dampier owned him.
derek gets beat pretty bad too, yeah.. sadly, i don't think phil will give jordan the spot minutes when we play against teams like the spurs, warriors, hornets, jazz etc.
i'll tell you thsi much: this current squad, without bynum, is not a contender. a starting lineup of fisher, kobe, ariza, gasol, and bynum sounds good though.. but ariza and bynum have never played with gasol, so it's going to take some time to adjust.. and we won't have that time.
Off-topic, but I find it hilarious that one of the posters in the Suns forum is pissed that I posted in their game thread, and he thinks I'm being a ***** because of my sig. Go check it out; quite amusing.

I still don't want to see Phoenix in the first round. Their style of undisciplined offense only basketball gets the Laker reserves in trouble. I'd rather see them in any other rounds.
