Okay Suns fans, there has been a lot of talk about how weak the Suns are and how strong the Lakers are...it's late December, none of that matters.. What matters is DEFENSE! The Suns have the highest scoring offense in the league (yet again) so obviously when they lose it's not an offensive drought, it's a defensive absence. When they rebound, and swarm (like they did last night against the caveman) they will be much more successful.
Looking at the current standings the Suns are one game out in the west. San Antonio has played 5 more home games than Phoenix, the Lakers have played three more at home. The Suns are 12-6 on the road, the Spurs 5-6, and the Lakers 8-6... The Fredstrom has heard how San Antonio is the team to beat, etc. that may still be true but the Suns are playing bad basketball and are still in it. Barbosa hasn't been that great yet, Raja still hasn't found his jumper, Nash hasn't showed much scoring but we know he's capable, Amare shows up every other game, and sometimes only in the fourth quarter, and don't get the Fredstrom started on Diaw...
The Fredstrom isn't panicking. The Laker loss on Christmas might just be what the Suns needed to kick it up a notch. What do you think?
