As impressive as the Mavericks have been this year, the Phoenix Suns have had a little more of the "wow factor" goin' on.

Their 17 game win streak ended last night at the hands of the T-wolves and Kevin Garnett's 44. Those 17 consecutive wins are good for fifth best in NBA history, tied with four other squads.

So should Mav fans fear what's happening out there in the desert?

If Phoenix wins it all this year, they'll be the first team to win an NBA championship without being able to protect their own basket since...umm...well you gotta go back to uhhh....hmmmm....I guess that'd be since, ever?

There's no doubt that Phoenix is an amazing offensive team and a lot of fun to watch, but if I'm going to fear an opponent, it's going to be the prospects of a healthy Houston Rocket team. They defend, can dominate the paint on both ends of the floor, and they have an unstoppable scorer in Tracy McGrady who can do it on his own from anywhere on the court.

I'm not saying Phoenix isn't one of the best teams in the league, but I'm sayin' though.
