They have the fourth best record (28-5, .848) in games they led by double-digits. But they’re also just 7-21 (.250, 20th) in games they trailed by double-digits. That’s the league’s biggest such differential.

^ That's very interesting; I could have sworn to you that we are much BETTER at coming back from double-digit deficits this season compared to last year. Am I crazy?

[Split T]

We probably still are…last year we were probably like 3-40 or something

We aren't winning them all, but we do come back and compete. Seemed like last season, the Suns would fold if they gave up a big lead.

[Superbone]

Ishbia with a strong stance against tanking. Don't expect the Suns under his leadership to tank any time soon. Of course, a lack of draft picks leaves us no reason to tank but I'd like to believe that's not why Mat is coming out so strongly against it.

Suns GM Brian Gregory on Bickley and Marotta:

Suns GM Brian Gregory confident in direction, knows the payoff is yet to come

[Split T]

I think there’s an important distinction between tanking naturally and the tanking Ishbia is talking about. Purposely sitting good players to lower the quality of your team with the purpose of getting better rewards is the problem. Being bad and trading vets away for young players is not the problem.
