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.

yeah looking back at all the improvements we have made in the offseason, i can admit now that we really were just a 2 man show last year. CP3 and Ayton were barely useable even against the clippers and we know how it turned out against the nugs. we were counting on the likes of Shamet, Ross, Damion Lee, and washed Warren to do something significant, and that was no good.

with that being said, I feel we are much improved from the team that Denver bounced. depth is a non issue now imo. our bench is not only better than last year's but also way less one dimensional.

and this is not even mentioning Beal, who we got for basically nothing.

from what i can see now, the only major question mark is interior defense with Nurk, but it's not like Ayton wasnt getting abused by Jokic either.
