The Phoenix Suns. Year after year San Antonio Spurs served up the Suns heartache in the playoffs with hard-nosed defense and not to mention a little luck.It was that tough defense that stymied the Suns' offensive prowess time-after-time in the playoffs and it just seemed the Suns never learned that defense wins out over offense.And it seems the Suns still haven't learned...

PHOENIX -- The Cliffs Notes edition of the NBA preseason ended Thursday night for the Phoenix Suns, who escaped with some positive karma.
And we're about to spin (I mean really spin) through the golden moments of a 110-85 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Just give me a moment. In the meantime, some perspective from Alvin Gentry.
