Suns are winless against winning teams

[slinslin]

The Phoenix Suns are the only team in the entire NBA that has not won a single game against an opponent with a winning record.

The Suns are 0-10. Washington is 1-10 and Toronto 1-11.

The Suns are 7-5 against losing teams.

Utah(15) and Detroit(13) are the only teams playing more than 12 games against losing teams while San Antonio and Dallas also played 12 games against losing teams.

Current draft position #5.

If the Suns keep winning meaningless games they will stay between #5-8 all year.

We've played a really really easy schedule, and even so we havnt even beaten a bad team in weeks. The winning percentage will likely decrease further.

I think we will finish with the 4th worst record overall and probably the worst in the western conference. Even deliberately tanking it would be hard to out-suck some of those teams in the East.

The Suns haven't won any games in a while, meaningless or not. Besides, aren't they all meaningless by now?

This team already has one of the weakest rosters in the entire NBA. The only way to lose even more games than the 3 or 4 worst teams in the league would be to forfeit.

Where is a winning team in Az?

The Suns,,,,I see no hope there (long season to endure watching sub-par NBA ball)....

The Cardinals,,,,thats not even a team at this moment.... The Coyotes,,,,no season, game re-runs on tv.... The D-Backs,,,,faulter as well down the stretch

Arizona is w/o a winning sports team
OK, maybe the Rattlers!

Atleast the 'Bandwagon Fans' will fall off the covered wagons for awhile...

God help us in Arizona!

What in the heck are you talking about? The Suns haven't won ANY games in a long time. The way it feels right now, they'll never win another. We can't beat Orlando at the end of their road trip?

Suns just beat the team with the 4th best record in the league. I don't see how this win is any more or less meaningless than the wins against losing teams however.

Lots of times you only have to be better than the other team expects you to be... and only better on the day they play you. Memphis was probably remembering how easily they'd disposed of us in overtime, eight days before, so they didn't worry about letting us hang around close. Except for Dragic's clever shot at the buzzer, they'd have probably done the same thing again. Not a terrible misjudgement, but just bad enough.

Yeah, we were on the other end of a lot of these games during the Dantoni era. Some players/some teams have that killer instinct that never rests even against weak opponents but I don't remember the Suns ever possessing that kind of will or focus.

could easily be 2-0 against right now, but that doesn't mean we are the better team

They are the better team and no secret this team sucks, but how can a game that went overtime be considered they disposed of the Suns easily?
It could easily be the other way in the first game if the Suns have a big man like Randolph. The Suns play hard in both games, but the talent is just not comparable.

I know what you mean but when Memphis had to take the game seriously, they dominated. They outscored us 14 - 4 in that overtime period.
