Unflattering Picture of the Suns

[3rdside]

wait a sec... Dragic has a good ten games in a row for the first time in two years... and now he's a god amongst Suns fans again? Are you guys kidding with this? Soon, we'll probably have people telling us it's only a matter of time before he's a night in/night out 23/10 guy again.

I'm the one trying to defend the guy and nowhere have I said anything about him being a star; just that I think he's far better than Phrazbit - the most outspoken critic of the guy - gives him credit for.

If you missed the post above, his stats have been trending upwards for the entire season, and since the all star break he's averaged 19.2pts and 7.2ast (which is exactly 10 games, where the Heat have gone 8-2) which is probably due to some or all of:

1. Miami figuring out how to use him and Wade i.e. separately.
2. The adjustment period to a new ball club is over (can't be easy stepping into the house of Riley, Wade and Bosh).
3. Joe Johnson replacing Bosh in the line-up.

The 23/10 comment most definitely did not come from me and nor do I think that's possible. I would not be surprised to see him maintain his current numbers - there or thereabouts - from here on in however, which would make him anything but mediocre.
