The Phoenix Suns will pocket this year's Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy if:

• Steve Nash grows his hair back
• Shawn Marion gets over his I'm-sick-of-being-trade-bait self and plays up to his obscene salary
• Coach Mike D'Antoni gets over his I'm-sick-of-being-second-guessed self and goes to the bench now and then
• Nobody whacks Amaré Stoudemire's knees with a hammer
• Grant Hill -- once dubbed the second coming of Michael Jordan -- plays more like Michael Jordan than Grant Hill
• Leandro Barbosa gets more minutes
• Boris Diaw gets fewer
• Promising rookie D.J. Strawberry gets any
• Marcus Banks gets none
• Richie Frahm gets . . . uh, who?
• Raja Bell keeps kickin' Kobe Bryant's skinny ass
