In reality I dont know how many of you all watch every phoenix suns game but I do. And I know that the talent is there Nash is the second or third best point guard in the league. An adition we need that I think will make us a considerable contender is a 2 or a 3 that can create of the dribble and take a little pressure off of nash because if you really watch nash like I do he is one of the best scorers in the league.
Just like how Chris Paul passes and get his(scoring) Nash has to score more points offensively.
We have the talent to win a championship right now but is about how the coach uses the talent. Dragic is improving steadily, Barbosa is good but needs to become a more all around player, J Rich is a good scorer btu it may be nice sometimes if he can work inside out sometime instead of the opposite all the time. Amare is a great scorer and a descent rebounder but he needs to dominate in more areas sometimes he seems to just focus on scoring a little too much. Frye is ok and I expect him to play about 25-30 mins a night.
We got horses, scorers and an unbelievable passer my only question is our desire. You got to want to play defense every night I know we can do it but are we? New season lets get some new results and get this ring.

I loved the article… very optimistic. Leandro Barbosa is the most amazing player. No, he’s not Kobe Bryant nor Lebron James. But he has such a positive and encouraging attitude. I’d take that in a player over an arrogant super-star. LEANDRO BARBOSA 6TH MAN OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we are going to finish 3rd or 4th and go deep into the playoffs

Steve Nash will be an MVP contender this season. Healthy Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill and leandro barbosa and couples of athletic rookies = excellent chemistry for the suns!GO SUNS! finish it no.1 in the division!

I do see the perspective from Kerr’s point of view wanting to go young and build a team from that but did he really choose a future talented young group? NO! I believe out of all the “young” talent he chose is probably Earl Clark and Channing Frye. Not too bad but look at it this way, can two bench players carry them in “clutch” moments to help them win big games or even games in the playoffs? Definitely not! His moves were more of a “salary safe” move which does not help the Suns’ situation after last season. I was not a fan of Shaq’s so with him gone I believe if they stay with the ‘run and gun’ game they have some chance but when it comes to playoffs obviously the team with best defense will always win. Now making it to the playoffs? It is a possibility but think of it this way. The West consist of the toughest teams to compete against for playoff hopes. Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets, Mavs, Blazers, Hornets, Jazz. 8th seed would be my prediction for the Suns this season but lets not forget the improving Memphis Grizzlies which I believe have the best young talent on their team, now they did not resign Hakeem Warrick which would of been a great deal of help with his athleticism but they did get Iverson. Minnesota has some very good talent as well, as long as the coach understands how to use each player. Which I believe that T-wolves, Grizzlies, and the Suns are all contenders for 8th seed. Only time will tell but Suns fans should not get their hope up and stop posting so biased comments.

If the HEALTH god looks favorably upon us we will finally be able to get to the top four seed spot. PLUS we finally have a coaching staff that is the best weve had for a long time. Thank goodness for my direct tv packakge so we here in Arkansas can enjoy EVERY game .GO GO SUNS

yahh,
GO SUNS !!
im expecting a better season for the suns this season, because now that channing frye is in, he is a talented young man, he can control the paint, and has the power to size up bigger guys like shaq or dwight howard
another reason is that amare is back and running, healthier, stronger, and hopefully he will stay with the team and bring back some defense in the suns
another reason is the my fav, steve nash, he needs to play up tempo offense and need him to atleast score 15+ points a game, and he needs those assists to feed suns with more stats
barbosa and the other guys will be a BIG help for backup this season, they play good offense and defense

With the big liability, Shaq, gone suns play smoothly at a 60% level with possible losing games against Boston, Lakers, Dallas, Cavs and couple of other teams.
Suns players like Nash must become scorers and shooters instead of assist-leaders and defenders or rebounders.
Suns also need a talented 7 footer who can shoot.
Last year my prediction came near perfectly.
Assumind none of main players get injured this year I’m predicting a 49-33 season.
And loss at western semifinals.

I think that it was about time they got rid of Shaq. I think losing him will improve the team. Plus he never could play upbeat basketball. When you have five guys on the court that can play up beat it makes your team that much better.
