Shawn Marion scored 29 points and Steve Nash added 16 points and 14 assists to help the Phoenix Suns extend their winning streak to nine games with a 116-111 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night.

Suns Win Ninth Straight; Top Celtics

Nine straight wins by the Suns, with Nash again leading the way. This team looks mighty impressive right now, don't you think?

I must admit that this is impressive, but I cannot favor them over the Lakers.

The Lakers have the potential of becoming Champions and the Suns can, but aren't going to.

It really comes down to Kobe vs. Nash!

I'll take Kobe any day of the week.

Ah, but it doesn't. It comes down to Kobe, Odom and whoever else the Lakers can muster against Nash, Marion, Stoudamire, etc. etc. Kobe maybe be the better player (even that's debatable) but the Suns are the better team, and last I checked, even though it doesn't always look like it, it's still 5 on 5.
