Many people dismiss the Suns record because they have done it mostly by beating weak teams. However, it is not as easy as it looks. Check some of the games from Wed night:

San Antonio 87
Orlando 93

Chicago 89
Detroit 82

Dallas 100
Atlanta 113

Charlotte 90
Houston 87

Memphis 99
Golden State 109

Utah 86
Toronto 98

The Suns are the only team that has not lost to an under 500 team this season. It is not as easy as it looks.

Good points. Its always a catch 22. People will knock you if you beat the teams you need to beat by saying they are weak teams and they'll knock you if you lose to them by saying you're not for real. Either way the Suns are by far the best team in the league and someone out there will always try to discredit them. Oh well, its lonely at the top! :thumbup:

Scott Skiles turned Chicago around when he called a team meeting and changed 3 starters. Very nice results. Maybe he can indeed coach now that he has a young athletic team.

This just shows you that the fact that Suns has an "easier" schedule is not THE REASON why Suns has the best record.

Suns beats the teams they are supposed to beat. They don't just win the game, they BLOW THEM OUT and thus have 11 point differential.

You see, the critics and Suns-hates will ALWAYS find ways to bash Suns. If Suns won an easy team, they would say "Well, the opponent sucks" and if Suns beat a better team "So who cares, it's just a regular season. Suns will be a #1 exit anyway".

It has come to the point that I feel there's no point to argue with other people because they WILL find reasons to insult Suns, no matter what. In my recent replies to insults, I just wrote:

"Suns : 22-3"

PS: Let the record speak the truth....
