They were better than the Spurs last year and got screwed in 7 games.
They were worse this year with Shaq, and got beat in 5 games.
How am I the idiot?

Amare is a better player at 4.... a much better player.
Steve Nash was a different player last year, he made clutch shots and didn't turn the ball over.
S.A. didn't play pu$$y ball and foul Shaq off the ball the whole series last year. Take that out of play, and the Suns are still playing basketball.
That getting up and down the court game doesn't work in the playoffs (check out the champions of the past) against expirienced teams. You have to play ball, and half court when the game is on the line.
As a Suns fan and watching all 82 of their games this year, plus playoffs.... and the past 10 years. It comes down to Steve Nash not Shaq.
