I don't see us winning more than 34 games in this conference.
That would be pretty tough, considering that we only play 52 games in this conference. ;)
I’m glad we agree
We should win quite a few in the other conference in spite of the fact that we play less against the Eastern Conference. So 34 + 15 = 49? Sound about right?

I would call that a successful season.

Of course, we’d probably end up the 9th seed.

If we’re going 34-18 against the west, we can win more than 15 against the east...at least 20. That gets us to 54

Don't worry. We're just being conservative.

We are a .500 team. 8th seed no one wants to face.

Book(er) it.

Rubio is going to be top 3. He's going to get 16/8.

I think it will be a pleasantly surprising season. The tide is turning.

I had visions of 2004 but didn't go all in with the gamble.

After watching 9 games, I think the suns will win best record in the west.

The Suns are having a Cinderella season and exceeding the most optimistic predictions so far. A couple saw it early here like virtual9mm and In2ition. I suspected they would be better since they couldn’t be worse and we finally had a complete team with competent players at each position for once. I hoped they would play good enough to get in the middle of the pack. I had no idea they would play like this and without Ayton to boot.

The NBA experts thought the Suns blew the draft and thought the trades were dumb. They were wrong. James Jones looks like a genius now.

80% of voters had us winning 39 or fewer games. Y'all are a bunch of pessimists. :P

They weren’t as smart as me. I waited until your post here to vote. Cheating? Some might say that.

I am so happy that 9 games in they are beating all expectations by a mile.

What a change. A decade of doom and gloom around here. We finally have a real team again.

I'm thrilled that the team is doing well, but as a long time Suns fan I'm still conditioned to expect the worst and keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I hope we keep this going. I don't think we'll be .667 the rest of the way but if we end up being over 500 on the season I'd be ecstatic.

The season is long. I just hope that when Ayton comes back he can be fired up and unleashes his true potential on the league, rather than for this to become some sort of drama/chemistry issue. Putting all my faith in Monty now.
