Weird question/observation:

Unless Chris Paul or Devin Booker get pretty hot over the last eight games, the Suns will end the season with no players reaching 10 Win Shares. Has that ever happened on a 60-win team?

Nuggets got close with 57 wins, their WS leader was sophomore season Kenneth Faried

For close the 58 win champ Raptors “only” got 9.5 from Kawhi due to load management.

The following bubble year, they finished 53-19 which is a 60 win pace and they were led by Lowry who was on pace for 8.8.

The number of people acting like Monty isn't coaching the poo poo out of the Suns is staggering to me. Monty is COY and it isn't particularly close. What the gently caress thread?

COY is usually shorthand for "coach whose team most exceeded expectations." Not gonna happen with the defending western conference champs unless they had an all-time season.

Is the Wiggins All Star Starter the worst example in recent history? It has to usurp Jamaal Magloire right? He probably wasn't even a starter.

That generally goes hand in hand with the exceeding expectations part. Coach looks great when the team overachieves, but then they take the fall when regression hits and the team returns to their true level or can’t live up to new and unfairly raised expectations.

It’s a shame so many other teams had such a tanking head start on the Blazers. This lineup has what it takes to be the worst in the league.
