It is absolutely debateable. Just look at the schedules to date.
Phoenix 3-11
Vs DAL 6-8
@ DEN 9-5
@ GS 12-3
Vs LAL 8-6
@ MEM 8-5
@OKC 9-5
VS SA 7-6
VS TOR 12-3
VS MEM 8-5
VS BRK 6-9
@NO 7-7
@OKC 9-5
VS SA 7-6
That is a total of 2 games against sub .500 opponents and neither of them are pushovers. They won 1 of those, also adding wins at home against Memphis and SA.
Miami on the other other hand?
Miami: 6-8
@ORL 7-8
@ WAS 5-9
VS CHA 7-7
VS NY 4-11
VS POR 10-4
VS SAC 8-6
@ CHA 7-7
@ ATL 3-11
@ DET 7-6
VS SA 7-6
VS IND 8-6
VS WAS 5-9
VS PHI 9-7
@ BRK 6-9
6 games against sub .500 opponents here. 0 games against Toronto, Milwaukee or Boston and all 3 West games were home.
Flip the schedule and you can probably flip the records too. Phoenix ain't bad and Miami isn't that good.
