Suns: are the 5th seed

[JMarkJohns]

Real ? is are dem Wildcats for real?
I like that backcourt is it Miles simon/Mike Bibby 2.0?

I wish this team had a Miles Simon. Holy crap that'd be awesome.

This team is legit. Their backcourt is their weaklink, as there's no true dominant wing scorer, and no true backup PG. I'm hoping York can develop some consistency as he's the cosset thing Arizona has to a true scorer/backup PG.

It's the frontcourt that dominates. ESPN has hyped Gordon, and he's great, but he might be the fourth best player in the frontcourt, including the 4-position versatility that the 6th Man, and fellow freshman Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

I don't expect perfection, but this team dominates defensively and on the boards. Opposing teams are practicing with six players or five with brooms to mimic defensive quickness/length. Offensively they dominate the glass, get to the FT line, and score in the paint. They shoot well enough. They can be beat off they aren't hitting FTs/3s AND the other team is.

That's about it. It'll happen, but with a front line of 7-0/245, 6-8/230, 6-8/215, and 6-7/215 with two 6-10/235 bigs who never even play, it's all about the skyline.

McConnell and Johnson are great starters, but the x-factor really is York, which sucks, because he's a bit of a moron.

Typically I acknowledge the luck that's required to get to a Final Four and win a le by saying that I expect Elite 8 with chance at the others.

This team has me thinking the whole thing.

Health/Development/York= le

When you look back.., let Amare and Nash go was a right decision.

Dem Suns could knock out any team that isn't San Antonio or OKC tbh. Hoping they wind up on Portland's side of the bracket.

Making good choices now to fix a terrible mess, doesn't make the terrible mess the right decision. We could have spent the last 3 or 4 years with a *proper* reload around Nash post 2010. Trading Amare may have been the correct decision; We'll never know if the 2010 team could have returned to the WCF in 2011. Maybe keeping Marion while trading Amare for Shaq would have been the better move to make. Maybe keeping Amare to pair with Gortat would have been the move. We shall never know. Trading Dragic was a terrible move, when he could have been a 2 next to Nash while running the bench mob.
