Now we are reminded, in the past two games, why this otherwise great franchise has failed to win even a single NBA Championship:
(1) The Suns DON'T hustle to get rebounds (offensive rebounds especially).
(2) The Suns DON'T defend every possession equally (other than Shawn Marion, who brings it EVERY possession).
(3) The Suns DON'T force enough turnovers.
Look at the teams in the history of the NBA who have won NBA Championships and you will see all three areas covered very nicely.
What do the Suns lack when compared to these remarkable teams, like the '96 Bulls and '88 Lakers?
A dominating CENTER who can REBOUND and BLOCK SHOTS!
Mark West doesn't count. Joe Barry Carroll doesn't count. John "Hot Rod" Williams doesn't count. Alvin Adams doesn't count (but he could score at least). And yes, even Amare Stoudemire DOES NOT COUNT! (he's really a Power Forward)
This franchise needs to wake up and realize just how important defense and rebounding really are.
