nba.com has us ranked 8th in the West behind Portland, Dallas, and Houston. The Warriors 9th just behind us.
People are always scared to stray too far from the status quo. It’s hard for people to not have the last 10 years in the back of their minds when evaluating us.
Putting the Suns ahead of the Warriors is a pretty big deal IMO.
Yes, but it is true that most years they don't move teams around much, unless they made a stratospheric signing/trade. So just moving the Suns and Warriors up from where they finished is a big deal, period.

Perhaps, I think people are still skeptical of the Warriors without Klay. They are very thin. Draymond didn’t look good last year, though injuries played a role. And perhaps he just didn’t try all that much. We’ve probably forgot how good Curry can be. They are a bit of a mystery. We’ve seen the suns play well(bubble) more recently. So it’s easier to project what they’ll do this year than GS.

No fans to start the season:

Dear PayPal SixthMan Member,

As we prepare for the start of the 2020-21 NBA season, we’ve engaged in ongoing discussions with the City of Phoenix and Arizona Department of Health Services to put appropriate health and safety measures into place in adherence to local, state and NBA guidelines. Unfortunately, due to the continued spread of COVID-19 in Arizona and across the country, we’ve made the difficult decision to begin the 2020-21 season without hosting fans at Phoenix Suns Arena.

The decision did not come easily, but we are incredibly excited to tip off this promising season against the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 23. Under the leadership of general manager James Jones and head coach Monty Williams, we have constructed a roster led by All-Stars Devin Booker and Chris Paul, big man Deandre Ayton and an impressive array of young and veteran talent.

We greatly appreciate your support, as we continue to work closely with local health officials to ensure the safety of our fans, staff and players.

Go Suns!

That dude is going to be out so fast it will make his head spin. No one likes him, no Rep or Dem likes that feckless idiot.

So true. He is a total phony. Not a Republican. Not a democrat.

Absolutely. Can't make a decision on his own and has more ties to the Mexican Cartel and China than anyone in AZ. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in GITMO before Feb.
