how not to fight for a playoff spot

the suns came into today's matchup with the mavericks three games behind dallas for the no. 8 seed in the west with six games remaining in the regular season.

at halftime, phoenix has pretty much destroyed its chances at making the playoffs by allowing 81 points in 20 minutes.

how bad is it for the suns? jason kidd has 16 points and 16 assists - the last of which came on a baseline inbounds pass for an 70-foot buzzer-beater by josh howard.

as avery johnson put it on the abc halftime show: "phoenix came into this game with a do-or-die situation. well, they're dead now."

maybe phoenix really does need to think about learning how to play defense.
