All this talk about Phoenix's best start in 20 years and all this coverage had me thinking about their squad. But then I saw their Schedule: Sacramento Atlanta Philadelphia New Jersey Chicago What a freaking joke!! And tonight they go against the Cavs. As I thought.....8th playoff spot if they're lucky.
I think Tim Legler of NBA nation predicted they will win 52 games this season. The other panelist thought he was on crack. I think they can if they play that caliber of a line-up but of course they won't. When did they play Sacramento?? Does that mean Sacramento is only 1-4? Their only win coming against orlando right?
Sacramento is playing pretty bad to start the season. Peja wanted out, and their chemistry is horrible right now. Its getting better as they finally got their first win and are now 1-4, but they were not that tough. My point is their schedule has been a cakewalk so far, so to make predictions based on their current record is silly. Tell their doughnut team to take a walk through the wild, wild west and see if Amare can put up those numbers. They played lineups at times of: Nash Quentin Richardson Joe Johnson Shawn Marion Amare That is a small ass lineup that we would destroy. The fact is that they've gone against such imposing big men as Jason Collins (NJ) and Alonzo, Jason Collier and Antoine Walker (Atl), Kenny Thomas and Sam Dalembert (Phi), and Chicago's kids. They try that against the west and they'll get stomped.
Playing uptempo small ball has historically made for great regular season teams that get smacked around come playoff time. The true predictor of how well this time will do will come when they play a strong defensive team like the Pistons or Spurs. Evan
The Suns have three potential all-stars even though Amare won't get a sniff with Duncan and Garnett in the West. Three all-star caliber players will get you a lot of wins in this league.
Amare is the second best center now. he will be an all-star starter as a center. Nash is the best point guard in that ever played this game. IMO, they will be 80:2 and the champion when season ends!
Yeah, I won't hold my breath watching them crash landing tonight at Cleveland LBJ is a lot smarter than Amare BBQ wise
They dont have bigs in the middle. At best, they are the 2nd coming of Dallas a couple years ago with an aged Nash.
She's been posting here for a while. Had some savvy comments. I dont know if I should take this comment serisouly though. Nash best PG ever? Maybe the best Canadian PG ever.
WNBA is the best league. It's pure basketball. Basketball wasn't invented with slam dunks in mind. It's better than the NBA.
