If it wasn't for Dallas, do you think Phoenix Suns could have made it to the Finals?

They could. They need a deeper bench, but I suppose so do the Spurs. When Amare is back next year, they might be even better. We might see the Suns in the finals next year.

They were counted out when Stoudemire got injured, they were counted out when down 3-1 by LA, they were also counted out when Nash seemed to be exhausted in the Clippers-Suns series,They were trully outnumbered against Dallas, talentwise.. But i think they have a chance against San Antonio since Parker(the only spur who can keep up with Nash's speed)is nursing a leg injury so he is not that fast anymore.. But i doubt they will have an answer against Duncan though.. But who knows right? The ball is round, it could always bounce the other way..

If they played San Antonio? I think they could have. See Dallas could easily run with Phoenix plus they played defense and matched up very well. San Antonio would not match up well against Phoenix at all. Pop would have to choose who Bruce Bowen would guard. He's their only good perimeter defender. The rest of the Steve Nash-lead perimeter would pick San Antonio apart. They couldn't play zone either...Stevie would pick that apart worse.

That's kind of a pointless question to ask. I'm a Bulls fan, but should I make the argument that if not for the Miami Heat that Chicago would have made the Finals?

They could have but would have had a terrible time matching up with O'Neal and Mourning. Next year the Sun's could be fully loaded with Amare back and healthy though.

Yes. They played Dallas in the conference finals, so had they won, they would be in the Finals.

The Suns were fortunate to come back from being down 3-1 to the Lakers this year... so I don't think so...

Yes but that the way the ball rolls the Suns are good next year they may win it all.

i think of it is going to be a gentle experience for the solar's all a thank you to the championship. Their playing solid ball and that i do no longer think of there are a number of undesirable matchups for them. The Mav's have been going to be their no longer trouble-free journey up in the event that they met.
