This is what concerns me about the current Suns. They scored 112 points in a loss and everyone is talking about how to make the offense better.
Over and over we've been complaining on this board about how the Suns need to overhaul their culture, shed the offense-only label, and try to forge a new identity that is centered around being stronger in the playoffs than in the regular season, not weaker. I kept reading about how wonderful it was that this front office was going to be patient and rebuild the right way.
And now here we are half a year later and it's offense, offense, more offense. The rebuild is over, the Suns have forfeited their opportunity for major help in the draft, and we have just the latest run-and-fun roster for a franchise that seems to know nothing else.
If we want to say, hey, the regular season counts too, there's more to the NBA then winning titles, I'm fine with that. But I desperately hope that we won't be repeating this conversation in another six or eight years, because the Groundhog Day effect (RIP Harold Ramis) is getting pretty hard to take. The Suns are apparently content to make the same mistake over and over, but their fan base doesn't have to be.
