Quote:
Just when it looked like the Phoenix Suns would be lucky to play .500 ball, they've launched one of the year's longest winning streaks and have the fifth-best record in the Western Conference. This is not simply good fortune, and their recipe for success includes what could be profound lessons for the coaching staffs in New York and New Jersey.
The outlook was grim for Phoenix when All-Star center Amare Stoudemire underwent microfracture knee surgery just before training camp that would keep him out of the lineup until February. Stoudemire's averages of 26.6 points, 55.9% shooting, and 8.9 rebounds were the engine driving Phoenix's high-scoring machine. So it's something of a surprise that when the Knicks visit America West Arena tomorrow night, the home team will be the league's hottest squad; entering last night's game at Golden State, the Suns had won seven in a row, and their 11-5 record was far better than anyone outside of Arizona expected at this point.

Author isn't taking into consideration that the Suns have the best rebounding and one of the better big man SF defenders around...
But it's certainly worth throwing into consideration as other teams may just try to match up...
