Do any of you consider the Suns favorites to win it this year? Or serious contenders? Why? (alien.top)

Despite the obvious, maybe all time offensive firepower they’ve assembled, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that there is no chance in hell we see them making noise past the first or second round. Curious to hear the counter arguments, if that’s how you really feel.

Defense win championship is a little bit outdated now

Its more about buckets as long you are not dogshit on D (lets say not bottom 8)

Outdated because of one title team ?

4/5 last champs were better defensively than offensively.

2022 Warriors, 2021 Bucks, 2020 Lakers and 2019 Raps were all defense first teams.

Even the Nuggets, who are a bit of a historical outlier, still had some elite or fringe elite defenders like Gordon and KCP, and got stops when it mattered.
