I like the Suns but its nice not constantly hearing about how great the team is and how godlike Steve Nash has been playing.</p>

They're old news (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). They've been good in the regular season for the past few years with the core group of Amare/Marion/Nash, and that group is still together, and they are off to a good start in the regular season again. Of course ESPN and all of the national coverage is going to only talk about the new guys (Celtics) and the trainwrecks (Knicks) this early in the season. That's going to grab the headlines more then "The Suns and Spurs are good. Again."</p>
