Our forced turnover rate is a clear leader in our defense. We have the 3rd highest rate(OKC and Detroit higher) and there’s a pretty significant gap 3 to 4(and 5). We are 12th in effective fg% allowed, so pretty there, but we are below average at defensive rebounding and fts allowed.

Didn’t have a coach that prioritized it and didn’t have players that prioritized it.

Ya they set the national tv schedule before the season when everyone thought we were the worst team in the league.

The nba told the refs to stop calling things so tight

I just wish we had Derik Queen, Cedric Coward, or that juicy 2026 unprotected Pels pick right now

Needs some work still for sure, but he’s come a long ways as a rebounder. He was pretty bad last year.

Ya they’ve done enough without Jokic that I think they’ll be hard to catch. How I see the west shaping up:

1. OKC

2. Denver
3. Spurs

4. Houston
5. Minny
6. Phoenix

7. Lakers
8. Warriors

9. Clippers
10. Blazers

With some gaps for where the tiers are…some blurry lines between tier 2 and 3 as well.

Sounds like it might just be a league wide thing…refs are allowing more physical play in general. Wish they would always just ref every game like the playoffs.

I fear man man might be a bust…he’s at least a very long ways away from producing.

The Lakers are the actual team we are better than and should stay ahead of to maintain a top 6 seed

6-0

I’ll stop haha, but I want my opinion noted that Houston is good and I’ll be surprised come playoff time if they aren’t more successful this year than last. So that means they’ll be in round 2 at the very least.

Houston is also still way better than we were last year. They’ve struggled lately, but they’ve been a top 5 team all year and are 3-0 against us…maybe a bit premature to start the victory laps because we have spent 1 day of the season ahead of them in the standings.

I guess my head has been in the sand here…never heard that in my life. I only use X for sports information and have never used grok in my life.

Sometimes it’s fun to just beat up on a bad team

Sad to see so many people still using X.

Yeahhhh, it's depressing. Bluesky has grown very well over the last couple of years.

If people can't draw the line at child porn there is no line for them.

Huh?

The other 4 after Q-Rich are

2(tie). Grayson Allen and Raja Bell
4. Gerald Green
5. Dan Majerle

Kinda crazy we still have a player from the 90s with one of the most 3s made in a season.

Shoot, didn’t know the Knicks broadcast gave away the answer haha…but yes Shel you are right on number 1…there is surprisingly only 1 season from recent years in the suns top 5 though.

My bad, hate away haha

As mentioned in a previous thread, both Royce and Collin are on pace to set the suns single season 3pt shots made record. Can you name the 5 highest seasons for 3s made?
