The Suns beat the Nets at home to win 11 straight. The most neglected team has gradually taken the throne of the league's first place. With 41 wins and 9 losses, the Suns widened the gap with the second place in the league, leading the Warriors by three wins. With 41 wins and 9 losses, it also set the best record in the Suns' history in the first 50 games.
As of now, many of the Suns' data rank at the forefront of the league. Their offensive efficiency is 113, ranking third in the league; their defensive efficiency is 105.1, ranking second in the league; their net efficiency is as high as +7.9 per 100 rounds, ranking second in the league; and the Suns are the only team in the league's top five offensive and defensive efficiency this season.
In addition, they are ranked third in the league in 113 points per game; 47.8 percent per game, ranking first in the league; averaging 36.6 percent per game, ranking fifth in the league; averaging 26.4 assists per game, fifth in the league; and shooting 57.6 percent from the field, ranking fourth in the league.
From all aspects of the data, the Suns are the masters of the league's top teams. But compared to teams like the Nets, Warriors, Bucks and Lakers, the Suns don't get the respect they deserve. In this year's All-Star vote, the dominant teams such as Durant, Curry, Alphabet Brother and James all got tickets for the All-Star starter without exception. Only the sun, neither Booker nor Paul, received enough attention.
In terms of star color and influence, Booker and Paul are indeed inferior to their competitors, but from the influence of the game, the value guidance to the team, etc., the sun's two star players are not worse than others. In most people's minds, people such as Durant, Curry, Alphabet Brother and James are top-notch supergiants, while Booker and Paul are just ordinary superstars.
To this end, little Thomas could not help but post a post for the sun uneven. He posted, "In my opinion, it's crazy for the Suns not to have an All-Star starter! The best teams in the league should have at least 2 or 3 players selected as All-Stars. ”
Of course, some fans joked, "Suns coach Monty Williams: Isn't it an All-Star starter?" ”
