The Suns are better than us

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm a pessimist and I didn't see that coming THIS soon.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Good for Ricky Rubio, though. I wonder if the Jazz are second-guessing themselves.

 

[tlongII]

They are right now. They won't be by the end of the season.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hope you're right.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Seriously, though: why are the Suns decent this year? It's not just Rubio because they won a tough game without him. They seem to be getting more out of a bunch of players (Oubre, Baynes, Kaminsky) than anyone had a right to expect. Is Monty Williams all that?

 

[riverman]

Monty Williams is why....he was good when he coached New Orleans too.....mad respect for the guy.

 

[THE HCP]

Monty is a great coach! Got shafted in NOLA

You know we have a complaining thread right?

You know we have a complaining thread right?

Right now about 80% of the threads on the main page could just be called, "Complaining thread" heh.

It's pretty much morphing into a "complaining" forum …..that's my main "complaint"

Oh for sure! 7 games of data definitely outweighs the last several years proving it's nowhere close.

 

[hoopsjock]

Every year:

Minnesota is going to be better than us this year!

Also every year:

They aren't.

 

[hoopsjock]

This shouldn't surprise me considering in the summer of 2018 there were people on here saying the Suns had a better roster than the Blazers after drafting Ayton, LMAO.

As of now they are.

No one is arguing that the Suns don't have a better overall roster than last year.

For fuck's sake, really?

That affects your use of past seasons as predictions of this season.

 

[hoopsjock]

So in one argument you use Gallo's stats from last year and ignore this year but in this argument we can't believe that the Suns are a mirage at this point based on the fact they've been dreadful in previous years?

Your post didn't even mention a good portion of players from last year's team.

The Suns have improved. The Blazers are playing like ass and I still would take their roster over the Suns.

 

[handiman]

I didn't know Baynes was still in the league, let alone the runaway MIP favorite. Although, I guess those aren't mutually exclusive.

Sometimes the combination of players and the type of coach just work well. A group that plays as a team will always be stronger than a bunch of individuals playing for themselves.

I was making the controversial assumption that a single human being's performance is more likely to be consistent across seasons than a team that has massively changed its personnel and coach.

 

[stampedehero]

On the last day of the regular season we have to check the records of both teams. Then, at that time, you can clearly say which is better.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Bump

Yeah, so what? We seem to stink right now.

We are going to have to make a new thread prefix

This year they are

Did ANYONE expect the start of our season to be this depressing? Holy hell, I haven't been this down about this team in a while now. Even Nurk going down last season didn't get me as depressed as our current performance.

 

[THE HCP]

But at least now everybody realizes this team isn’t that good.....maybe everybody won’t be so doomsday/sky is falling all the time. Plan on things going bad and it will make it more enjoyable.








I have that same mentality when I am with female family member of yours. #BAM
