    The suns came back from 21 down on Denver won. Against the Warriors and Rockets, if they win tonight they will be 16-10. are they for real?

    Serious? They are much improved for sure.

    They don't have a strong inside presence. Heavy guard play.

    What if the Suns get involved in a 3-team trade and end up with Asik?

    I commented on that before that Morey should not deal with WC teams with winning records (above .50).

    I'm shocked at how well they are doing. I'm happy for their fans.

    They have a better western conference record than the Rockets. They have weather 9-10 games missed by injury from Dragic and Bledsoe in total.

    And their 1st round 5th pick has hardly played due to injury.

    Coaching makes a big difference. I for one would like to see them keep it up.

    Jeff Hornacek, a pupil of Jerry Sloan, has done very well as a HC. Good player, and looking like a very intelligent coach.

    What are they trying to do? They have no cornerstone pieces and going to miss out on an apparent stacked draft because they want to have a first round exit.

    But if they make the playoffs Eric Bledsoe might stay. Suns could end up drafting someone good look at the Rockets got Chandler Parsons in the 2nd round plus Suns have a history of drafting superstars but they trade them

    They actually have plays!!! If dragic was on our team his playmaking talents will just go to waste

    Eric isn't worth a max contract and that's what he wants (and proberbly will get), and if the suns are hoping on drafting parsons type of players they will still go no where, the nba is superstar driven league not a stacked team of role players

    This. I'd want the team to tank if I were a Suns fan.

    well they definitely don't belong in the category of "bad teams that the Rockets can't beat" this season, that's for sure.

    a 6-8 seed in the West, this season, is legit.

    You're forgetting that he's sharing the backcourt with Dragic - moreover, everyone on that team loves to shoot the ball.

    If Bledsoe was actually the entire focal point of the offense, like Harden was for us last year, then I think he could produce max contract level stats.
