----------------------------------------------------------------
Opponents scoring an Avg of 16 points better agiasnt these guys. Reminds me of the
kings of the last 3-4 years. Best record in the NBA year after year, runs everybody
out of the building...everybody talking about them.....NBA titles - ZERO

wow!

Of course, other teams are going to score more against teams like Phoenix because they'll have additional possessions as a result of the fast pace.

The key IMO is the margin of victory... along with opponent's FG%.

great point Gtronic

all of those wins were blowouts pretty much i believe...lets see them play some of the better teams in the league i dunno if that margin of victory would be quite the same

well i got a theory on why we beat them... cos weve been playing the running game for 4 years

 

[iheartBrad]

^good theory

 

[nAj jAn™]

Gtronic - funny you compare the Suns to the Kings 3-4 years ago, and then conclude zero title....

But do you know that that made the Kings successful, made the Kings a trip to Western Conference Finals. An elite team and a title contender every year!

These Suns are good, that's why everybody are talking about them...And still they will be better the next 3 years.....

You don't talk to them if they don't score 120 pts per game They are an offensive machine....

And yes they will be the next Kings!

remember dallas of 03, only lost about 8 games come february and they were scoring around 130 a night, they were the hype then but they still never won the title

that team ran outta gas towards the end, which is what a lotta people suspect will happen to phoenix. theyre a tough team, tho. i dont imagine they will relinquish that #1 spot in the pacific easily. the playoffs are another story, tho. we'll just have to wait and see...

Other than the lakers/spurs and the pistons no one else has won a title since the bulls era. So whats the point

One thing those teams were famous were was defense and i dont think there are very many teams now who can play defense with or without the help of refs

 

[iheartBrad]

i didn't even hear anyone mention how Nash got ejected in the 4th quarter of the game last night between the suns and the grizz...bahahhahaha...i also heard Swift swatted the hell out of one of Nash's shots and thats what eventually drove him over the edge....i love to see other teams cry...especially teams that are head of us in the standings

Simple, yet accurate explanation.

And yes they will be the next Kings!

I see them more like the next Mavs, but why can't they just be themselves? The Suns.

 

[PFFFT!!]

The Kings had to contend with a Title Machine called The Lakers when we made our run. Now the Lakers are without Shaq and PJ. If the Suns win the title, I would call that bad luck on the Kings. Thats about it.
