Between now and March 28th, which is over 5 calendar weeks, the Suns have only 4 road games, 2 of which are in CA and all of which are 1 day trips. So between now and then, 33 of 37 nights will be spent in Phoenix, at home, in their own beds. They MUST make hey.

Fair but thats 51 wins and definately a 4-5 seed and a date with Mr. Stern's favorite team. They'll have to do better. Somehow they need to carve out 20 or 21 wins. So go 10-3 and then 10-3 again? Am i being too optimistic? They're 8-5 in their last 13 but 7 have been on the road. They are home heavy for awhile.

Eh, I'm just trying to be realistic about it. Knowing the suns, we go more like 14-12, which would be bad news.

If the Suns can just mold as a team, figure out their identity the Suns should win an awesome amount of games (lol). They need to utilize each players versatility in the lineup, and have no room for error. I don't expect Clark to be in the rotation any time soon anymore.

8-18 at the worst which would put them at .500, 41-41

13-13 in the middle which would put them at 46-36

20-6 at best which would put them at 53-39

I am on board w/ MVF for this one. I personally think we'll be around 16-10. 49-33 maybe.
The Phoenix Suns - 54-28. Projected Record: 54-28 3rd Seed

The Phoenix Suns - 2010-2011 Projected Record: 30-52 3rd lottery pick.

If we win 50 games this season...that would be awesome.

I just realized that I really took the SSOL Suns' success for granted. They made 60ish wins look easy haha.

Yeah they made it look easy and fun, lol.
I wish Amare got injured in 04-05 or even 06-07, because the season of 05-06 would have been the easiest year to win a title. Especially if the Suns had Joe Johnson. If only... *SIGH

We better increase our FG% if we want to sniff 50 wins. The last 3 years we have been around 50% FG, this year we are at unacceptable levels.

JRich, Frye and even Hill are not where they need to be. 88pts on 45% shooting against the Hawks is not what the Suns are all about.
