Holding on to Optimism

Coming back from being down 0-3 has never been done in the NBA, we all know that, but it's going to happen eventually, and when you think about it, the Suns would be the kind of team to do it. Usually when teams go down 0-3 it's because they are completely overmatched and the other team is unquestionably far superior. But we know the Suns can beat the Spurs, we've seen them do it four times this season. I'm not saying they are going to come back and win the series, but I am saying if any team could do it, it would be a team like this. So don't lose faith just yet.

1st Round

San Antonio has a 26 point half-time lead over Utah and Houston has already beaten the Clippers. Unless the Jazz make an amazing come back in the second half, the Suns will not be wasting any time trying to redeem themselves for last years second round defeat. San Antonio, here we come, and this year we are bringing the Diesel.

Worst Case Scenario

The worst case scenario for the Suns would be if they kept falling in the standings, and missed the playoffs, making them lottery bound, and their pick going to Seattle. While in the East, the Hawks make the playoffs and stay out of the lottery. Making the pick they've waited 3 years for, worse than what we would have gotten with our own. I don't think this will actually happen, but I would say it would be just another example of the Suns terrible luck in the draft.

ESPN Poll

No respect

From ESPN's Daily Dime...

The Suns are 2 and a half games out of first place in the west and have a better record than Utah, yet ESPN apparently thinks we are not even contenders for the west title anymore. Where's the respect?
