When is Amare Stoudamire coming back? That guy is off the hook and I realli can't wait for him to come back. Suns are doing good job without him but if he comes back it'll be impossible to stop them from winning games. so if anyone gots any idea of to when he's coming back, tell me aiight?

Amare Stoudemire suffered a slight set back in his recovery. His right knee has built up fluid, likely the result of favoring it to take pressure off his surgically repaired left knee.\nHe hasn't practiced since light work before last Sunday's game at Dallas. He was hoping to begin five-on-five scrimmages, but now has to wait for swelling in the right knee to subside. "I'm sure I've asked a little too much of it," Stoudemire told the East Valley (Ariz.) Tribune as he rubbed the knee before the game. "It's just a little buildup, but it's a warning to make sure I'm ready before making the next step."

Josh Boone\n\nThe two guard spot is the Suns' deepest position with Raja Bell, Eddie House and Leandro Barbosa, the Suns don't need another guard after drafting Sergio Rodríguez at 21, so Shannon Brown won't fit here.   With Amare Stoudemire's health in question, this athletic bigman is just what the doctor ordered.  The Suns can't pass on him if he's still on the board.\n\nAdding Boone at 27 and Sergio Rodríguez at 21 could help vault the Suns to the finals.

I think that Detroit has too much experience and pride to let Lebron win on their home court in a Game 7, so Pistons win in that series. In the Spurs/Mavs series, the Spurs definitely have the upper hand and confidence going into Game 7 at home. After being down 3-1 and practically being hailed as an "upset" they came back and did the unexpected--and you have to think that might be in Dallas' head a little after such an emotionally blow. I pick San Antonio to advance...As far as Suns and Clippers, I think it's a toss up! Both teams have laid it all down, and if I HAD to pick--I'd choose Phoenix. All in all? I see Spurs and Heat *(upset against Detroit)* in the finals, with the Spurs winning a back-to-back! We shall see though..! =)

I don't know about draft picks but I've believed that many NBA games are fixed for quite some time now and this year's playoffs are a good example.  The Lakers had no business taking the Suns to 7 just as the Cavs shouldn't have taken the Pistons to 7 (Don't get me wrong, I love the Cavs, but no talent outside of the King).  Who is on those teams?  Arguably the most engaging personality off the court (Kobe) and the most exciting player to watch on the court (LeBron).  those two guys = ratings = higher revenues for the NBA

I find the decision to suspend Jerry Stackhouse incredibly stupid.\nIt was a good old hard foul! Whenever Shaq or Haslem fouls one of the Dallas players hard, do they get suspended? NO!\n\nI think David Stern is doing everything he possibly can to stop Mark Cuban from getting his hands on the NBA Championship. It's stupid.\n\nBut the Mavs are gonna show David Stern, Shaq, and all those Heat fans what they're made of tonight.\n\nGO MAVS!!

Just the game tonight, it will be the Suns for sure.  Here's why:  Steve Nash, Steve Nash, Steve Nash, Steve Nash & Steve Nash.  He is their starting 5 all in 1 person.  Then you throw in Marion (who dunks from outside the lane and shoots in people's eye) and add in all the other players who don't even need a name and it equals the vic.  Mark me down for a Suns 2006 NBA Championship T-shirt.

As much as I like Phoenix this year in the playoffs for beating LA twice, they have almost no chance against the Dallas Mavericks.\n\nThese guys almost lost the opening round to the Lakers. And they got taken to seven games by two of the three worst playoff teams in the Western Conference (the other being the Nuggets.) Had they been in the other bracket in the West, the Suns don't even make it out of the first round.  It doesn't matter who they play.  Yes, that means they would have even lost to the Grizzlies.\n\nDallas, meanwhile, knocked off the best Grizzlies team in franchise history, in a SWEEP.  Then they defeated the reigning NBA champions in a seven game series, closing out on the road, in an overtime game, overcoming rowdy fans, nearly the best game 7 comeback of all time, strong Spurs momentum from the previous two games and refs whistles getting rid of three of their best defensive players.\n\nThey MADE the Spurs play small ball against them. They dictated the pace of the games and won. They overcame falling just short in game 5, which they should have won (in which case I would be talking about how they knocked off the Spurs in FIVE).  They have the best individual player, the better defense, the better coach, home-field advantage, the more intimidating owner, better overall playmaking ability and offense (check out shot percentage), better free-throw shooting, better team colors, superior half-time show, I could go on and on...\n\nThis won't even go five games.  Mavs in 4.

They're trying to find an identity.  Staudimare isn't in basketball shape yet, then you have Barbosa and Diaw still doing the same things they did last year.  They'll have to tailor their game to best fit the team.  Plus they have to find a role for Jalen Rose.  They'll be fine by January.  Their chemistry is kinda all over the place right now, but so are a lot of other teams out there.  No need to worry, its only November.

i was at the game...the clippers played a great game...but the fact are..when 1 player tries to win the game(kobe) or (brand)the suns run all over them..the clippers have the tallest team in the nba right now and are able to get many more rebounds and still lost...the suns have far too much fire power...and the 3 point shot is gonna drop all night long..the suns will win this in 5 they have heart that is not gonna quit..its gonna be a fast and quick series for the suns

I agree 100% with cshskool! I honestly can't see the Spurs losing; them playing at the level they're playing. Detroit is good--but they haven't been dealt any REAL challenges this year. They haven't had any injuries to work through, and the GOOD teams they played were injured themselves, or coming out of a back-to-back. San Antonio has grown these past few months and I've watched them get better (if that's humanly possible..!). Ginobili, Parker and Duncan are at the top of their game; the bench is the deepest it's ever been; and Bowen can "legally harass" the best of them with his defense! My tuition says Spurs in 6!

I'm with you---! Dirk hasn't had to guard ANYONE like Shaq--and should he guard him? Shaq will overpower him; simple as that! Not only that--but Dallas shouldn't have won against San Antonio(in a series that should've been the Conference Finals, and not Semi's), but DIRK got foul calls (mostly phantom) down the stretch of Game 7, that tied and won the game. The point is--Dirk isn't' unstoppable, and he's not GOD. He's DIRK for cryin' out loud! Shaq and Wade can be doubled--but Posey, Williams, and Haslam will be open, so you're going to guard WHO..??!! I think Heat will win in 6!

lets just say this..... The Dallas Mavericks had to win the series... because come next season.. there will be no team out there that will dominate the suns...\n\nWith Amare in the line up... the Suns will eliminate the problem they had...during the playoffs.\n\nNext season the Suns will break records and and accomplish what they couldnt do these seasons... WIN the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP..\n\n\nOh yea one more thing: I HATE THE SUNS...just to let you kno..

Most def Steve Nash is gonna win. Look at his numbers. 19 ppg and 11 apg. That's bananas. And look at PHX record. 42-18. Just imagine what they could've done if Amare was healthy. Probably would be better then the Pistons. But Nash has lifted his team by himself to the top of the league.

Well sadly, i think i am the most bummed person of them all that my suns are gone. I think the suns made this years playoffs one of the best in a while. And i dont feel the mavs won it fairly in game 6, the refs were horrible in that game and took us out of the 2nd half. Every time 1 of our players got on a role, they would call a foul, and they would have to sit down. But next year the suns are going to be the favorite to win the championship with Amare coming back. \n\nIll tell you 1 thing, the finals would have been a lot more fun to watch if it was the suns vs heat.

Hey, a win is a win. GO SUNS!\n\nAs a matter of fact, they actually missed 15 straight threes which is completely unheard of for this suns team. And hey, this is the suns FIRST win when the margin of victory is three points or less. Couldnt come at a better time.\n\nThe Suns won because there wasnt a huge rebound gap like there usually is. They got outrebounded by like 1 rebound i think. That is why other teams score on them, as they grab so many more rebounds than the suns do. If the Suns keep it close, they can always win. Also, they also hit 9 more free throws than the Clips which helps bridge the gap in FG%.\n\nNo such thing as enemy territory when it comes to the Clips. After all, they play in the Staples Centre which is where the Lakers play, so the Suns already have played their. Only difference is the colours.
