Heck the suns barely know what defense is.  Thats why Manu had a field day agaisnt them.  He got every shot he wanted.  But we'll see how well he reacts when he is forced into shots.  He's going to have to master that fade away jumper like Wade has if he is going to have a chance to shoot over Prince.  He's not going to be able to bang that gimpy ankle against powerhouses like Rasheed and Ben, and then let's not talk about the huge elden campbell coming off the bench for support.True the pistons have been complaining about the refs alot, and they have good reason.  They have gotten some really bad calls some of which were just plain awful (game 5 wade clearly filed someone and they called the file on Wade, then did a 360 and decided to call it on a piston and lets not talk about shaq's linbacker mentality in the paint -- heck he doesnt even dribble most of the time its a shoulder block push then skyhook or dunk).  Honestly the gig is up with the NBA.  The refs lean toward teams that draw more money.  I have a friend who coaches college and the reason is because pro refs judge based entertainment value.</blockquote>
