After watching the Cavs/OKC game a bit, as well as the OKC/Bos game from earlier in the week, it's clear the Suns are not even in the same stratosphere. The chemistry on offense and togetherness on defense from these elite teams are a joy to watch.

Yeah, we aren't playing to our potential but our potential still falls well short of the true contenders. I have no idea why this group isn't on a pace to win 48 games or so but there's no way we can play heads up with the top teams.
