Lights Out

With the Dallas Mavericks' 130-101 win last night over Utah, the Phoenix Suns are officially out of the playoffs.

The Suns were in 1st place in the Pacific Division last year before they traded Shawn Marion for Shaquille O'Neal. Since then, it's been a free-fall.

It strikes me that when Shaq left the Miami Heat, he left a broken-down team. Then he came to the Suns, and now they're broken-down. Coincidence?
