    I think Phoenix might just break out.

    In other words, if all six of their best players exceed all reasonable expectations, they might be better than expected.

    Where better than expected > 25 wins.

    Phoenix is pretty young, they just might have a problem with acne.

    If they stay healthy they might replicate what philly did last year. I think they have more potential than Denver and possibly even Utah

    I was sort of joking, Phoenix could get better and still not win a ton of games because the West is brutal, also they’re very young, They seem like they could be ready for the jump in 2-3 years if all those “if’s” work out.

    Phoenix is my "Shocker" team this year. I think they got much better no matter how young they are.

    Probably more realistic in truth, but sometimes things just click and they have a lot of talent now.

    Suns have a scary roster.

    They probably will blowout several good teams, then the next game get blownout themselves. But not win enough games to make the playoffs, yet.

    BTW, they are 3-0 at SL.

    So you're saying there's a chance.
