I haven't researched it but we seem to have a lot of live ball turnovers which is always going to hurt your defense.
Will Suns win more games this year than last

Rebounds. Closing out on 3's. The core of Oso, Allen and Oneale are a bad fit to start games.

Suns are my Kryptonite!
Gotta say, if you watch without biased eyes, Dunn hasn't looked so good, either.
He's been mediocre for sure on shooting and attempts. We need his on ball defense though, with which he has been picking up full court. His weak side help is a plus with our small ball lineups too. We can't expect him to be everywhere on the court when he's trying to cover for Allen and Oneale's blowbys.

29th in opponent PPG and 29th in defensive rating. Only Brooklyn is worse.
His rebounding has improved but I wonder how much is necessity vs improved skill. I think he'll be a decent player but I dont see star or surefire starter with him. He needs a lot of work offensively.
I’m thinking predicting the 6th seed was setting my expectations low.

Oh come on that was funny! We need more kool aid drinkers!

Defense since the Wemby lockdown has been impressive.

good way to gage the kd trade - the suns need to win 45% of their games to reach the 37 which would technically make them better than last year's team
they are currently winning 64% of their games - on pace for 52 (and a half) wins
look at where 52 would've put us last year

This could be an all-time classic example of addition by subtraction. Shocking, and not a good referendum on Durant at all.
Shocking? No.

Man, how much did our perceptions of KD change from before the trade to after the KD experience?! I don't know if I've ever had a change that big on an NBA player ever! Knew we gave up way too much at the time but I had NO idea it could have gone that badly.

Beal is the bigger addition by subtraction.

Brooks addition has been huge. I think Green has as well, even though he has not been playing. He has been on the bench and cheering. The locker room atmosphere is completely different now.

How about addition by subtraction (KD), subtraction (Beal), addition (Green), addition(Brooks)?
Besides, two negatives make a positive and then you add Mark Williams on top and WHAMMO!!!
In The west 3rd tier of teams is average to oh so bad. Nothing has changed my mind that this team will get the 6th seed. 49 wins might get the job done

we making some playoffs cuz when we add in jalen it aint gonna be no play-in
The Grizz are 6-12 right now for the 10th spot. Last season as an 8th seed they were 48-34.
For them to get back to that record right now, they would have to go 42-22 for the rest of the season.
The Jazz, Clippers, Kings, Mavs and Pelican have greater or equal losses right now.
Two of these five teams will be in the play-in spot if things keep trending the way they are.

The Suns are outperforming expectations 2nd only to Detroit.
