And so begins another year of Phoenix Suns basketball.

Will this be the year the team actually gets over the hill and reaches the NBA Finals?

Despite the trade controversy involving Shawn Marion during the off-season, the Suns have bounced back and are well on their way to securing yet another championship — in the Pacific Division.

But a division title just won't cut it for a 33-year-old Steve Nash, who is only getting older by the day.

For the Suns to have any kind of shot at a title this year, they must rely heavily on their bench production — something the team has not done in the past.

Look for big outings from Leandro Barbosa, Boris Diaw and newcomer D.J. Strawberry as all three will lead the way for the Suns in their step to greatness.
