    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">HOUSTON - Steve Nash is in a two-man race for the MVP award with Shaquille O'Neal as his addition to the Suns is the largest factor in engineering what became one of the six greatest turnarounds in NBA history with Sunday's 91-78 win over the Rockets.

    Can Shawn Marion at least get a star sticker on the maximum-level paycheck? If you want examples of an impact that makes a team U-turn, look at Marion. In the only game Marion missed to injury this season, Houston made Phoenix look one-dimensional and frustrated March 11. It was a 127-107 Rockets victory, a score written on Sunday's visitors locker-room board with an adjoining, "We owe them."

    Marion displayed spring and energy in corralling 17 of his 18 rebounds in the first three quarters and finished with a game-high 23 points in the Suns' fifth straight win. He helped Phoenix hold the Rockets, on their own court, to 49 less points than the last meeting.

    Winning on the road usually seperates good playoff teams, from great ones. Most teams are happy to just play .500 ball on the road, but 30 wins is insane.

    These guys play better on the road than they do at home.

    That ain't a bad thing though, it's actually great. We also have a nice record at home though.
