This wasn?t supposed to happen, right? The Suns sitting atop the best of the west, winning 50 after losing 50. And it?s all thanks to many reasons. The players starting to play under new coach Mike D?Antoni?s fast-paced offense; Steve Nash being given the freedom to create on the perimeter; Amare being able to make highlight reel after highlight reel while establishing himself as a rising superstar, etc, etc.
And thanks to their starting lineup, Phoenix has imposed an all-out fast break offense that caught the league off guard. While the playoffs approach, only one of the Suns? starting five is playing for a contract that could determine whether he will return as a Phoenix Sun next season: Joe Johnson.

Watch Joe Johnson and the Phoenix Suns as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies in a best of seven series starting tomorrow.
