The Streaking Suns

The Phoenix Suns are getting hot at the right time. They are playing the best ball they've played all year and are currently the hottest team in the League, riding an 8 game win streak. Could this be the year they finally get to the finals? I'm not sure if I would put them there yet, because the Championship still has to go through LA, but they are playing like they want it. They Suns are 17-4 since the All-Star break, and the monster in the middle aka Amare Stoudemire is averaging 27.6 ppg during the second half of the season. The Suns now find themselves just 1 game behind the Mavericks trying to get the second seed in the west, in hopes of avoiding the Lakers in the second round. At 36 years old Steve Nash is actually playing like hes 26, and shows no signs of slowing down. Leading the league again in assists per game at 11, and also dropping in 17 points a game, Nash seems as though he could play for another 5 years! But this might be the Suns last chance to make a run, because I don't expect to see Amare back in a Phoenix jersey next year as it looks as though he will test the market this summer....Knick bound??? haha
