I know they are under turmoil. I would not want to face them. They are only 1.5 games out of the 2nd spot. Noah has been banged up.

The Suns should change their name to Butter because they have been on a roll!

I don't know how they didn't make it in last year. Was a shame. The scary thing is, despite their record, it could happen again.

Haven't made it past 1st round in over a decade. Let's do this!

Have you seen their division?

They get to play Brooklyn, Boston, Philly, and New York 4 times each this season.

It will be interesting to see if SA makes the playoffs. You know OKC will crack the top 8, and the Suns are hot right now.


So you are calling OKC a lock for the playoffs, but saying San Antonio, a team who last missed the playoffs in 1997 (when they were tanking for Duncan with Robinson out), might not make it. Okay.

I can almost guarantee you the Bulls will not come out of the East. I promise you.

Yeah, the Spurs have been injured this year. They just got Leonard back. They'll make it in.

Pop is a damn genius. Gets the team to blow the nationally televised game to make sure no one realizes they had won 8 of the last 10.

-Is Miami a playoff team? I would have said no a couple weeks back, but the play of Whiteside seems to have re-energized them. Wade will seemingly take a bunch of games off over the 2nd half of the season
I think they'll make the playoffs. He may get injured obviously, but if they're on the fringe, he won't just take games off late in the season.

New Orleans needs another year, IMO
They need a new coach, it's that simple. Coaching is the only reason they aren't better than Phoenix, well, of course injuries haven't helped either, but you get the point.

quote:

Aldridge's 6-8 week injury equates to 20-25 games. They are in big trouble if they are a 500 team (or below) during that span
Not sure how much trouble, if they go .500, that leaves them 18 games over .500. Phoenix and especially OKC won't be all that close to that mark in 20-25 games. Of course, they'll lose some wiggle room, but they'll be fine unless they implode while Aldrige is out.

PHX has depth and their roster makes sense. Two things New Orleans also lacks.

Plus PHX likely isn't a playoff team either.
