Mavs come back & eliminate Suns
Game 6 didn't start out in Dallas' favor, but it sure turned quickly in the 2nd half as the Suns 7-man rotation ran out of juice. Phoenix couldn't miss in the 1st quarter and led by double digits after only a few minutes. The heavy playoff schedule for the Suns doomed them in the end I think, as did their strategy to only use 2 players off the bench.
Raja Bell plays good “D” and has been the Suns best 3-pt shooter, but when he can't even run a fastbreak and puts Nash in jeopardy of an injury, that's just not right. Eddie House could've come in and provided a spark and they had Pat Burke, Brian Grant and Kurt Thomas on the bench when they could've been out there bully-ing Josh Howard and Dirk Nowitzki.
The Suns had a terrific run in the playoffs... if you picked them to go this far, you're lying. With Amare Stoudemire coming back at full-strength next season (cross your fingers), the future is bright. Phoenix's starting lineup will be an imposing one next season that's for sure... I wonder where Boris Diaw fits into the picture.
Looking forward to the offseason moves the Suns make and next year !!!!
