    Here they are:

    as of today...

    Toronto has a +51 point differential!!!
    and they're in 2nd place in their division! (by half a game)

    The Blazers have the 2nd highest point differential (+29) and are also in 2nd in their division!

    At 0-2 Phoenix is in last place, and they have a -32 point differential, Wow!

    p.s. Phoenix next plays Dallas, Utah, Utah again, and then Toronto who beat them by 49, yikes!

    The wonder of small statistical samples is just amazing sometimes.

    I posted yesterday about PHX's lack of any decent front-court threats. I can understand not re-signing Stoudemire, but to not even try and replace him with a competent inside threat? Baffling...

    Steve Nash has grown tired of sharing the basketball and wants to go for the scoring title this year.

    I posted about it in the OT: Cousins thread. The lack of any inside threat means PHX is a longshot for the playoffs.

    Well, I guess you get a cookie then.

    As soon as Amare left I told people that the Suns won't make the playoffs, because Nash doesn't have his pick and roll big man.

    Hakim Warrick and the shittier Lopez just won't cut it in todays NBA.

    What's funny is that there are 'preseason standings.'

    A friend of mine at worked is a HUGE suns fan and seems to think Robin Lopez will become the next stoudamire.

    I don't think they are going to be as bad as some people think but they defiantly aren't going to be anything to worry about.
