Phoenix looks tired...

[chillzatl]

I won't say they wont' win the series. It could easily go either way. But man that team looks tired. They've gone from having a 9 man rotation early in the playoffs to having a 6-7 man rotation in this series. Which is very un-sunslike. Raja Bell suddenly can't hit a shot and Tim Thomas is looking like..well....Tim Thomas again.

They have like 3 days off now isn't it? Thought that was what was said last night. Might just be what they need.

When Tim Thomas is your only "big" you've got problems. I am surprised the series has lasted this long considering the Suns are without KT, Grant and Amare.

Their defense has had a huge dropoff since KT got hurt. According to Suns fans it isn't because KT was that great on D, it's just that they have nobody else who can play centers straight up. With Diaw inside they are forced to double a lot which kills their whole defense.

When I looked at their defensive ranking in February they were 6th in the league, after your favorite "pace of play" adjustment. At the end of the year they had fallen to 15th.
