 Final Push

Thankfully, all but Boris is back (no pun intended, hopefully Boris' back will be 100% very soon) for what will be our final stretch before the playoffs.
The team came back from All-star Weekend for the most part feeling rested and refreshed – of course for our three All-stars and the coaching staff the break would have felt pretty tiring and short.
I spent the break in Cabo San Lucas with my wife, Jennifer. We were able to leave our two boys at home with their Grandparents, so it was a great relaxing time for Jennifer. There were a number of other NBA players in Cabo, so we were unable to completely get away from the game. It is obviously becoming a favorite travel destination during All-Star break.
Since the break we let a win against Philadelphia narrowly escape us. That win would have set a record for having swept an opposing conference on the road, something that has never been done.
The record would have been nice, but hopefully at the end of the season there is a much greater prize awaiting us. The Philly game came at the end of a week long road trip out east which seemed to go on forever. During the trip we visited Minnesota, Indiana, Atlanta and Philly and at this time of year you sure realize how great the Phoenix weather is.
Many of us spent most of the trip hitting up various malls (indoors of course) and movie theaters Here are a couple of movie revues for those interested:
Number 23 starring Jim Carrey gets two thumbs way down. Stick to comedy Jim. Little Miss Sunshine was a very enjoyable, lighthearted film that had most of us laughing out loud.
Well, that takes care of the prior two weeks. Now we are down for our final six weeks of the regular season and our playoff push.
Cheers

I agree Mr. Marks, it's hard to believe the Suns are in their final 6 weeks of the regular season with playoffs on the horizon! :-) Congrats on the "w" against the Charlotte Bobcats. I'd also like to send a speedy recovery wish to Mr. Diaw. Your presence on the court is sorely missed! And another to Mr. Marion for playing through "irritating" pain in his injured hand. Who da thought it would stop him from awesome blocks?..nah, not the Matrix! :-) Sendin congrats to Mr. Bell for sinking those money shots...what dry spell? Good to see rain falling from the sky & heading your way Mr. Bell. Oh, thanks for replying to my email on your video interview! Sending much love & aloha from Hawaii to the Suns! Stay motivated, focused & don't stop believin! Champions are men who never fail, but men who never QUIT...I'm keepin the faith. GOOOOO SUNS! ~ Aloha ~
