How Far Can Phoenix Get?

[Goat Milk]

I think this last month is really taking a toll on Nash.

Amare has been the workhorse this last month, not Nash. Nash is probably a little drained, but you can count he'll be ready come playoff time. I think the Suns can beat anyone in the west in 7 game series except for Denver, LA, and the Mavs. A team like OKC will have absolutely no answer for Stoudemire, and Grant Hill would do a fine job on Durant.

[jjgold]

Hill is very underrated player his whole career.

They are tough to stop on the offensive end

[Scorpion]

Team keeps winning

Steve Nash has been a LOSER his entire career!

[Jshap1515]

Bodog has Phoenix to win the WEST at 14:1
I'll give you 16:1 for SBR points; send me 50 pts to win 800

I would do it but you have no points.

[LT Profits]

Suns will win one series at the most, they still don't play defense.

[7secondsOrLess]

takin it this year baby

[Jshap1515]

Suns will win one series at the most, they still don't play defense.

Might wanna watch the team instead of just listen to the idiots at ESPN say, "Well Mark, they give up 100+ points a game; therefore, they don't play defense!"

They are idiots. They give up 100+ points because the offense goes so quickly, the other team gets more possessions.

[pats3peat]

eliminated first round prob

[hoopster42]

right now they'd be matched up with oklahoma city so a tough 7 gm 1st round win, then bounced out of the playoffs in the next round

How many teams give up 100+ in the playoffs and go far?

[Jshap1515]

Suns play defense now. They've got Grant Hill to play defense on a star.

[lakerboy]

Suns play defense now. They've got Grant Hill to play defense on a star.

That wasnt my question. Yes they have been playing there zone style effectively but allowing 100 points in the playoffs wont help. How far are the suns gonna go in the playoffs in your opinion?

[THE PROFIT]

Lakerboy, I dont feel like reading thru 3 pages, so please tell me, do you like Milwaukee-2 tonight? Phoenix been on the road like 8 games straight now I think & playing their asses off.

[Jshap1515]

Idk, Im a diehard Suns fan w/ season tickets so it's biased, but theres no arguing they are the hottest team going into the playoffs

You got balls betting against the hottest team in the league and they are even getting points.

yes i like mil -

[OmgUrMom]

Wait a minute here tealish- are you saying if suns play denver and suns are the 4th seed you will give 16-1 odds on suns to advance- so i give you 50 points and you give me 800 if suns advance? i want that bet asap- i will send you 50 points when you are ready. but i wont take it unless suns are 4th.

lol, you wouldn't give them a 1 in 17 chance of advancing as the 5th seed?

[bygspenda]

I put $200 of my MLB winnings on Phoenix to win the championship at the start of the season at +5000. Makes for some interesting hedging if they can put up a good showing in the first round.

[lakerboy]

big difference in nba playoffs having homecourt esp if you are playing denver

[williams22]

They are idiots. They give up 100+ points because the offense goes so quickly, the other team gets more possessions.

Seriously? The Suns are 24th in the league in defensive efficiency, i.e. they suck defensively.

[constrictor]

suns will surprise this season

[yisman]

I foresee a loss in the first round.

I am less worried about the Suns than any West Conference playoff team.

I'd rather play Phoenix in the playoffs than the Lakers, Jazz, Nuggets, Mavs, Spurs, Blazers, or Thunder.

[OmgUrMom]

Another proposal. If the standings hold (Phx is 4 seed, facing Denver as a 5th seed), or the reverse #4Denver vs #5Phoenix, 1:1 that Phoenix gets knocked out in the first round. For 50 points. Let me know!

If phoenix is the 4# i might take you up on that, probably not if they are away.

I don't like Phoenix to beat the lakers (i said it was possible, not likely) so I prefer to bet on them to make the western conference finals once they get the #2 seed.

You forgot the timberwolves, new jersey nets ect....

[yisman]

I would also bet against Phoenix in the first round if anyone wants to take me up on it.

Hottest team getting crushed by the Bucks without Bogut for half the game

Pretty silly thing to say because the playoffs don't start until April 16.

How can you say on April 3 that a team is the hottest team going into the playoffs?

I bet Phoenix won't be considered the hottest team in the league in a week.

[williams22]

Cavs are 17-2 in their last 19 and have the best record in the NBA by 5 games

[Goat Milk]

They got smacked because they tired as hell, and have played several games in the past week. Suns won't lose to anyone in the first round except Denver/Dallas. And chances are they won't play either of those teams.

Suns will beat SA, OKC, and Port in a 7 game series.

[lunchbawks]

phoenix will make it to the second round.

Hah, ok. PM me if it happens

First off, it's "would beat", because they won't be playing all three in a seven game series.

Second of all, want to bet? Give me good odds if any of those matchups happen and I'm game.

By the way, they could face any of the seven other teams. They're 3.5 games out of 8th right now.

Most likely, they will be a 3, 4, or 5, because they only have five games remaining. Four of the last five are against playoff teams, though (SA, UTA, DEN, OKC).
