It’s over.  We know it is.  The Suns know it is.  Steve Kerr has to know it is, even though he’s not admitting it…yet.
So if we’re not writing the obituary yet, it’s certainly in the draft stages.  And in that spirit what should go on the obituary for the Phoenix Suns of the past five years.  Obituaries, after all, accentuate the positive, and there have been more than a few great moments over the last few years.  Here are the nominees:

- May 2nd , 2006 - Raja Bell close-line on Kobe in 1st Round of NBA Playoffs

- May 4th, 2006 - Tim Thomas HUGE 3 vs. Lakers in  1st Round of NBA Playoffs

- May 16th, 2006- Raja Bell HUGE 3 vs. Clippers in 2nd Round of NBA Playoffs

- December 7th, 2006 - Suns 161-157 2OT win in New Jersey

- March 27th, 2007 - Snapping the Mavs 23-game home winning streak

- May 2nd, 2007 - Knocking a dejected Kobe out of the playoffs again

- May 6th-18th, 2007 - Nearly knocking the Spurs out in 2007, in one of the most memorable playoff series in recent years

Burnsy goes with “Other.”  His vote is the Suns initial, unexpected, playoff run- one that opened endless possibilities in the years to come.  Unfortunately the Suns didn’t quite realize that potential but, as evidenced, they have had many great moments in trying to get there.
