    Nope. We beat the Suns twice without Blake.

    Regular season means nothing. The Suns are an entirely different beast in the playoffs.

    Regular season means nothing....except if it has to do with the Blazer beating the Suns.....riiiiiiight

    Blazers beating them = relevant
    Lakers beating them= irrelevant

    I must be getting old, but I fail to see how the Suns beating the Spurs is supposed to make me feel better?

    I agree with most of this. But I'm still not convinced Nate will be capable of getting enough out of our talent (when healthy) to be a dominant team.

    Watching the way the Lakers and Jazz play offense makes me really question WTF we are trying to accomplish on the offensive end. We have no motion, no synchronized movement, no plays getting the ball to people moving to the hoop. We rely almost purely on iso's. And those are easy to defend scheme against.

    IMO, if we ran an offense like the Lakers or Jazz, when we are healthy, we would have a deadly offensive team. And I am confident our defense will be strong.
