The road to the championship goes through Phoenix. They're the team to beat! :)

I don't see them losing any of those.

Not if Jevon Carter has anything to say about it.

No. Vegas has them as favorites to win the whole thing. There is a good chance that they go 16-0 in the playoffs. Put all your money on them and retire early.

No. And they're going to sweep the Lakers in the first round.

Would Suns be title favourites right now if they still had Warren?

The real question is if this is good for them or not. Do you want to make the playoffs or be in the lottery

Since they made the bubble, I dont think their pick position changes regardless of whether they make the playoffs or not. It's kind of like how Charlotte will pick above Washington even though the Wizards now have a worse win pct than the Hornets

Philadelphia has a lot to play for if they don't want to face Boston in the first round. On the other hand, if Philly stays at 6th, they avoid the Bucks til ECF if they get that far and maybe they want that. Dallas still has an outside shot at the 6th seed out West so they may be playing hard. I don't know what to think about OKC. They got embarrassed by shorthanded Memphis team.

Why will Dallas rest? They have a shot at 6th seed which they want cuz they struggle vs Clippers.

Nah they're stuck at 7. 2 whole games back with 3 games left. It's not impossible but it's close to it

If it's still in play, they'll play to get it.

The Suns play a great team game. They are #1 in assists in the league, not only in the bubble but overall. Every night another guy steps up, that makes them unpredictable. Its not just Booker, even though the GB bunch loves their hero ball stories.

Saric, Booker, Rubio, Ayton, Payne, Carter, Bridges. You never know who gets hot next game.
