The Lakers always played good defense, not consistently, but had the ability. The Spurs were a very good defensive team....the Bulls were always a very good defensive team....the Pistons were a good defensive team.

The Suns did well in the playoffs, as well as the Mavericks did two years ago.

Teams like the Suns just don't win NBA championships in this era.
