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.

The Kings have won their last 7 games after changing head coaches, including beating the Celtics and Bulls on the road.

Watched the Rockets/Grizzlies and we are so far behind even the 2nd tier teams in the west. Even Dallas who is much better than us are kinda getting pushed out.

Of course, the Suns have already been there and done that.

I guess we can celebrate being great at something, a great warning sign.
