Maybe it's me, maybe I'm too damn biased because the Suns are my favorite team, but I have them fighting a playoff position war at the TOP of the pack and not at the bottom. The Lakers think they have the division won, but if this team lives up to their potential, this team will have something to say about it. Nash is playing MVP-type ball so far (I know it's too early to say that, but...), Hill appears ageless, Frye is making everything from 3, I see nothing but good things for these Suns and while no one else expects them to be in the top 4, I'll be disappointed if they're not there come April.

The only team that the suns must worry about is the spurs because we haven't beaten that team yet. This SUNS team is an explosive team and I doubt any team in the west wants to play them. I don't know why so many people think the suns are a 4 or 5 seed I mean let's get real. Last year the coaching change and trade declined them. The year before they had the best record before the Shaq trade and the year before that they won 54 games. The suns are a 55-60 game winning team which can elevate them to the top three in the west. The more they get used to one another the better they will become. Lakers are in trouble this year in the pacific The suns are top three in the west.

Don't get me wrong, were not the old Pistons, but the Suns played with a consistent defensive intensity, like it was really part of the overall game plan. Granted, the Warriors are no Laker or Celtic team, but outside of those two it's conceivable should the Suns decide to play this way over a prolonged period were in every game. Add Richardson, sharpen Amare up, cut the turnovers down, stay healthy, who knows how far it can go? The mighty, loaded Lakers looked awfully human against Dallas. All the above happens, I'm upping my prediction to 4 or 5 in the west.

Hearing Suns will place 8th IF their lucky. Pa-lease, this team is a top 5 contender in the west. I got them placing fourth. Possibly third. Everyone has to remember, this team had two coaching changes last season, the injury to Amar'e, the big trade, the other minor injuries and team chemistry wasn't there as much as it could have like it is this season. So much bad things for this organization last season and it's all together this season which started in camp. Everyone can say what they want about this team... but one things for sure, this IS a playoff team. And not a team that barely makes it and gets swept, but a team that can run you over if you sleep on them. Don't be surprised come playoff time. Heard it here first. Go suns! Lakers lost today too! We're on top! Yeah… experts suck. Hearing Suns will place 8th IF their lucky. Pa-lease, this team is a top 5 contender in the west.
