Am I the only Suns fan that has a problem with CP being called part of a big 3?

If you are including him, it is disrespectful not to include Ayton and call it a big 4 - because Ayton is better than him at this point

I just want to say something and see what you guys think. I am by no means saying we are going to win a championship. For some reason I think the path for us is laid out and does not get better than this. We are currently the 4th seed with our key players coming back. With just about 1/4 of the season left I think the team should be able to get back into top basketball shape and gel together right at the start of the playoffs.

Am I just thinking like a crazy fan?

No. I would like to think that.

We need to create separation from the field though. This not much breathing for teams from 4-10.

The pessimist in me believes by the time the roster gets filled and the team gels we will be in the play-ins.

The optimistic part believes we get in the play-ins and go on a championship run, and get our first trophy.

The loony side of me figures we'll win 4 straight titles as the basketball gods conspire to make Pbit and me look like doomsday fools. And I'm okay with that, better than okay.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I expect the Suns to avoid the play-ins.

I'm looking for them to finish in the top six in the Western Conference.

Clippers are always one step behind and the Warriors are always going to there but our real competition/rival/obstacle is the freakin Mavericks

I here propose a new official crowd participatory chant for whenever the Mavs come into town

"Beat Dattass"

In the same tempo of our traditional "Beat L A"

"Beat Dat Ass"

No. If healthy we should be the favorites IMO. But that is a big if.

I am a little concerned with Milwaukee, but I think we match up really well with Boston and Denver.

It might take a bit to work out the kinks with a piece as big as KD.

If we stay top 4 headed into the playoffs, I like our chances a lot. The Nuggets in Round 2 doesn’t scare me one bit.

CP3 and DA = 1 of the big 3 maybe 1.5 since CP3 job will be easier now.
