At this rate it’s going to be Ott. Suns were predicted to win 26 games.. Celtics were still predicted to win 40 games with a 50% chance of making the playoffs.

Plus the Suns are in the West. Suns strength of schedule is way higher than the Celtics.

Seeding matters. Suns are still 7th. Bickerstaff still ahead due to them being first place and how bad they were two years ago

SnakesAlive23 | Suns

14 | 2 hours ago

Suns are 6th and half a game behind from being the 4th seed. Also a 30-19 record in the West is much better than a 30-18 record in the East.

Foyerfan | Suns

8 | 2 hours ago

Suns would be currently 4th in the East and 6 games back of the Pistons. I think conferences should really matter as well cause there is no way in hell that Pistons team would be 34-12 playing the majority of their games against western conference teams. Suns will play the Thunder five times, and the Spurs, Wolves, and Rockets four times, which I would take all those teams against any of the top five of the East

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

-4 | 2 hours ago

Since LeBron left the East, the West has won 4 finals while the East as won 3 Finals.

The most recent Finals came down to a G7 wherein the ECF champion’s best player got hurt in the 1st quarter. West’s 1 seed vs the East’s 4 seed. First 7 game Finals series in nearly 10 years.

the shit matters a lot less than you think it does. it’s not 2016 anymore.

Constant_Roof_1210

Idk it still feels that way when you look at conference records and stuff I feel like the east is just more top heavy, but also teams are battered from west playoffs?

Foyerfan | Suns

2 | an hour ago

Comparing finals records is not accurate at all when comparing regular season records. Imo it’s more about the volume of games in each conference than an individual matchup when we’re talking about regular season awards such as COTY. I’m not saying the Pistons wouldn’t have a chance in the finals, but their record wouldn’t be as good if they were in the West due to them playing mostly against Western teams. The east as a whole has been a joke for two decades now

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

1 | an hour ago

The Pistons literally have a better record against Western Conference teams than they do Eastern Conference teams.

Both conferences were a joke for years when it was always GSW vs LeBron. It’s been pretty equal since.

Bottom of the East generally more tanky, but top 6 of both have been absolutely comparable.

Puppetmaster858 | Suns

Sir_Apprehensive

11 | 2 hours ago

Yeah Suns were up 30 roughly 8 min left. Guys that never play came in. Cavs put on a full court press for 8 min and the Suns had a ton of turnovers. Looked like a college game

We were up 30 in the fourth. Yes. Our garbage time was just truly garbage haha.

Brooks 67 points total in the back to back against two top 5 teams in the east out Devin Booker and only having Jalen Green for about 12 minutes.

But sure he’s just a role player

V-Right_In_2-V | Suns

9 | 2 hours ago

This has to be the best season of his career. I knew he was solid before, he’s a deadly 3 level scorer and plays good defense. He’s been incredible

Just_A_Glitch | Suns

17 | 3 hours ago

You can’t afford to drop a game in the West, and this team knows it. I’m pretty sure Jalen Green is actually cursed. I was certain he was done for another week after that fall, so I’m thrilled he finished out the game and looked good doing so.

GG Cleveland.

Great personality, but his play is lacking

truck_robinson

1 | 8 minutes ago

I was rooting so hard for that dude, but he hasn’t been able to earn enough time to get a rhythm going. He started out getting minutes and couldn’t do anything good except maybe a bit of defense. He hustles a fair amount too, but seems he’s just in his head. A month ago I still thought he might have a breakout game

Ok_Round3583

1 | 5 minutes ago

Yeah, seems like a sensitive guy in a non-demeaning way. At his age he should just be living his best life in Europe but understandable he wanted a crack at the NBA.
