Again? They've always been great during a regular season,but with the post- season primarily a more physical game,they seem to fall.

They will be 2nd seed in the west. Dallas has beaten them head-to-head twice already. I think the Mavs play more of a physical D so I think it'll be the Mavs over the Suns in the west finals. The Spurs are getting too old and fading 6 games behind Dallas in their division. Houston is a threat, but not much more than that. The Suns are very, very good, but the Mavs have few weaknesses.

Just like Don Nelson's old Mavericks, the Suns are built for the regular season and not the playoffs. They are extremely entertaining and great for the sport but when the playoffs come they are just not rugged enough. Fewer fouls are called during the playoffs so opponents will be able to slow down their running style. The Suns can't win at a slower pace. They also haven't demonstrated the ability to beat the Mavericks, losing last year's playoff series in six games and losing both games this season. Unless the Mavs lose Nowitzki, I just don't see the Suns getting to the finals.

First of all I would just like to state I hate both the Mavs and the Spurs. But i also think the suns will go all the way to the finals and win. All you saying that the Mavs have won both head-to-head matches I think that has nothing to do with this, when the playoff comes all teams play harder than in the regular season. Plus the Mavs won one game by a jumper at the buzzer, if you would have given the suns like 2 second they would have tied it up or even have won it.

The suns are fun to watch in the regular season. They lack ¨D¨ Remember offense wins games, defense wins champions. The Playoffs are far different than the regular season. It comes down to 7 games to a competitive team that can play ¨D¨ The suns will lose to the Mavs in the 2nd round. Personally I think the Spurs have lost the edge. I am a Laker fan but I am honest when it comes to sports. Suns will lose in the second round to the Spurs. Mavs and Spurs in the Western finals.
Just remember the RUN DMC Golden State Warriors. Suns are in the same situation. Run and Gun is not a championship style of game.

No the suns and the Mavericks will face off in th western confrence finals and the mavs will win and i think the only way the suns could win is if the mavs trade Nowitzki, Howard, or Terry. Or else they are not going to the Finals this is the mavs year they have the best record right now they already beat the suns twice so i do not think so

they will easily get to the playoffs but after they meet up to a great defensive team such as the spurs or mavericks there gone. What people have to remember is that defense win championship in the last 10 years the bulls, lakers, pistons, spurs, and heat won rings due to having a defense that was top ten in the nba. The suns defense is no way close to that.

They seem like the best team the NBA has had in years but they will probably face the Mavs in the conference finals. Then it will probably be a toss up who wins that game. The team that wins though will win the finals since the East is still behind in talent then the West.

Yes, again... easy to see that happening. Just like Peyton doesn't have me convinced that even tho he finally got to the Super Bowl that he's going to pull it off.
Just too much of a past track record... only way to shrug it off is to get it done, and to do that, you have to make an exception to the rule that's happened all these previous times with an early bow out.
