NOW I get it.

Haha, sorry I could’ve been more clear

I replaced extra Knicks over with Blazers under.

I think it's acceptable for anyone to change their picks before the season officially starts since there's still a weeks worth of preseason games remaining.

I’m switching my grizzlies over to a Wolves over

Dennis Scott on NBATv said Suns will be under 52.5 wins this season.

Don't know what he's thinking. I strongly disagree.

A lot think we will be under…banking on health issues I think. Also haven’t paid attention to the added depth. Their initial feeling after the Beal trade that we were top heavy with no depth has stuck in their brains.

Yeah, I've seen that "top-heavy" criticism a bunch about this year's Suns team. I really don't get that. We have like 17 guys who all should be in NBA rotations. If anything we're too deep. I think health concerns are fair, but isn't that an issue for any team?

We are definitely top heavy, but we’re not thin on depth. I think compared to other contenders we might be a little weaker in the 4th/5th starter position, but I’d take our bench over any other contender.

Nurkic/Okogie is probably our 4/5 and I think you definitely take Denver or Boston’s 4/5:

AG/KCP
KP/White

Lopez is probably better than anyone not in our top 3, but Milwaukee doesn’t really have a 5th starter.

Lakers 4th and 5th are probably DLo and Prince? Meh. Warriors are CP3 and Klay? Another meh. Boston, Denver, and Milwaukee are the only teams that can beat us if we’re healthy, imo.
