Yes. A season record means nothing. What matters is how you end the season. I don't recall any of the spurs champion ship season records. Doesn't matter. April 23rd 16 teams will have a level playing field regardless of season record.

Yes. Todays game meant alot. It is a preview of a potential playoff series. When they scheduled that game, they scheduled it on a sunday along with a pistons/heat game. ABC picked it up and was nationally televised.

If you don't come to play and expect to lose, you are going to lose. Avery Johnson does not fly into Phoenix expecting to lose. He expects to win. If you come to let the game slide, well then the playoffs aren't for you because you are going to get skunked like the mavs did today.

SKUNKED by a high powered offense. By your logic, no games left really count since these teams are already playoff bound. Wrong.

1993. Suns had the best record in the NBA by far. Noone remembers that because Jordan and Paxton buried them in game 7. Broke my heart. So no....season records do not matter.
