When the market began its downturn in early 2006, some of the smartest economists in the country, as well as the CEOs of major home-builders and the National Association of Realtors, predicted that prices would rebound by mid-2007.

Bit by bit the visiting Spurs had worked off a 16-point deficit to the undermanned Suns, who used a six-man rotation, until Tony Parker in his best impersonation of Steve Nash sliced through the defense to find Bruce Bowen in the right corner for the three that gave San Antonio an 84-81 advantage, its first lead since the first quarter.Thu, 17 May 2007 05:44:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/ian_thomsen/05/16/spurs.suns/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/ian_thomsen/05/16/spurs.suns/index.htmlPhoenix won 54 games last year with Boris Diaw filling in for Amaré Stoudemire, and 61 this season with Stoudemire reclaiming those minutes.

Lord knows it's not to beat the heat (or, for that matter, the Heat, which is already beat), because this potential championship series is being contested in the high-mercury venues of Phoenix and San Antonio.
