They are 5-2, 3rd in the West. Granted, I remember an old Dunleavy coached Milwaukee team that started 13-3 and didn't even make the playoffs. I know it's early, but for those who know basketball, are they a contender to make the playoffs?
Bledsoe looks like the real deal. Perhaps the best move of the offseason (The worst going to the Nets. Great for hype, horrible in reality).
They're playing great team ball right now but they will fade and fade fast. They like to edge games out and in the beginning of the season that's easier to do.
Plumlee appears legit. Not the All-Star that we made him look like in Game 1, but definitely a solid candidate for Most Improved.
No, they're not "for real" (if "for real" implies that the Suns are going to be a playoff team) but Bledsoe looks great and Plumlee seems like he's playing way over his head. So maybe the Suns won't win 15 games this year and they'll win 25 to 30? Yay for them I guess.
Did you mean the Blazers in the 2011-12 season? That team started 7-2. Last years Blazers started 2-5.
I still say no. Although they won't be as terrible as many of us thought I give them no realistic chance of making the playoffs. GS and Memphis have had two major injuries to their best or second best player. Imagine us without LaMarcus or Damian, we could easily be struggling. I'll be shocked if Golden State doesn't make the playoffs.
