Defense Has Been The Key To Our Streak

The Suns are playing great defense during this winning streak. Teams are shooting only 41.9% against them in these last 6 games.

Add to that the Suns domination on the glass and their potent offense, and you have all 3 main facets of the game running on all cylinders right now.

The suns are also shooting 57% in the streak, kind of hard to separate from the good defense. I also think its defense and the drop in turnovers leadint to easy baskets.

I like the bigger Suns, Come playoff time having Amare and Shaq will be sweet. Shaq will keep Amare out of foul trouble and allow hime to be more of a help defender, Man to Man Amare is weak on D!

We've also seen an expansion of the bench......mostly out of necessity because of injuries to Hill & Giricek & now Raja, but it's still good to see Skinner getting some time and we even had a DJ sighting in the last game (still like his defense, but his offense sucks).

If we can pick it up defensively like recently we could definitly win the championship. People started to count us out when things went a little down hill right after the trade but now that Shaq is learning the offense and getting used to the new system and the rest of the team is getting used to playing with him, we are starting to see the results.

Unfortunately our 3 point defense hasn't been that good so far during our winning streak. Opponents are shooting 39.6% from the 3 during the streak.

that's about 4% over our season average, which is 35.1%.
