Five times this year the Suns have won games after overcoming double-digit deficits. Last year, they did this a total of seven times over the 82-game season.
There’s no doubt in my mind that if the Suns continue to play with the effort that they have been, they can take the Lakers.
As a Suns fan, I can’t complain about being 4-1 at this point in the season. There are a lot of positives to look at early in the season.
Steve Nash is clearly too old and lost a step. In the Suns’ season opener against the Clippers on Wednesday night, he scored 15 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to rally the Suns to a victory.
As the new season of Phoenix Suns season rapidly approaches, I feel it’s only fitting to give my prediction on where I expect the Suns to finish out West this year.
