The Phoenix Suns have again won the Pacific Division with a 61-21 record, 19 games ahead of the Lakers and Warriors.  The Suns were awesome at home as they were 33-8 there and they were an outstanding 28-13 on the road.  The Suns were 36-16 against the Western Conference and 11-5 against their Division foes.  They averaged 110.2 points per game and allowed 102.9 per game.  They finished the season winning 7 of their last 10 games.

Boris Diaw hasn’t played too well this month and he needs to change that soon with the playoffs starting next weekend. Diaw has played in 6 games this month and he’s only averaging 6.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.  He also is only shooting 36.2% from the floor and that just won’t get it done for the Suns.

The last two weeks Leandro Barbosa has been on fire for the Suns.  In his last 7 games (3 starts) he’s averaging 22.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game.  He’s also hit 23 of 45 (51.1%) from three-point range in those games.  He’s almost becoming a go-to player, but that’s not the way the Suns operate.

The Suns are sitting at 56-19 on the season after their tough loss to the San Antonio Spurs.  The Spurs are now only 2 games behind the Suns for the #2 spot in the Western Conference Playoff seeding.  The Suns are in a tough spot because they’re not a very deep team and they can’t afford to rest players for the playoffs because the Spurs are right behind them and the Suns still have 7 games to play.
