It would seem as if the Suns have lost a share of the national media attention to the Boston Celtics. You don't hear about the Suns being talked about as much nationally, and some have teams such as the Rockets and Jazz ranked higher than them. I don't think the expectations for them are as high as they have been in the past.
Do you think this is a good thing? I, for one, do. I think it would be great if the Suns could fly under the radar for most of the year, much like the Spurs did last year when people wrote them off to being too old and slow. They went about their business, and turned it on late. I'm not comparing the two teams here, but I don't think the pressure is as high when you're not the focal point of every national media's coverage of the NBA.
The Suns have been struggling a bit to find their chemistry, and working players back into the lineup. They've lacked consistent effort and energy through the first 9 games of the season. The positive here, is that the Suns are still 7-2, and have one of the best early season records in the league. Last year I thought they played much better out of the gates, and started 1-5. They're still nowhere close to the potential they have as a team, but are finding ways to win games until that happens.
Let's hope the Suns stay under that radar all year. I think it's good for them.
