If they playing like this they won't win for quite a long time. Upcoming games look like this:

VS ATL
AT DAL
VS DAL
AT ATL
AT Tor
AT NYK

I could easily see them having a record of 1-9 or 2-8 after these games

Check out this rough stretch they have starting Nov 18th…

@ OKC
vs. SAN
vs. PHX
@ PHX
@ LAC
@ UTH
vs. MEM
@ HOU
vs. CLE
vs. BOS
vs. WSH
@ CHI
@ POR
@ UTH
@ PHX

HOLY HELL…………………..

Morris has really played well for the Pistons- and its apparent the Suns miss him.

The Suns just arent that great talent wise.

Best Players/Assets

1. Eric Bledsoe- fringe all star- very good 2 way player. explosive athlete
2. Alex Lenn- athletic, can run the floor, great work ethic, chance to develop into a fringe all star down the road possibly
3. Brandon Knight- good not great player. Solid scorer.
4. Booker and Warren-Goodwin young guys former 1st rounders - one taken 14th last year, one taken 13th this year.- one 29th 2 years ago- all three are wings that show some promise- but i dont think there is an all star among the 2.
5. Tyson Chandler= veteran center that can bring some stability, but starting to get long in the tooth
6. Morrs, Tucker. Teletovic- vets that can do some things

IS this enough talent to even COMPETE for a playoff spot in the West? I dunno- i kinda doubt it.

Depends on what you mean by Compete. I think they can be within a couple games of the 8th spot or even hold the 8th spot in late Mid-Late March, which I would say counts as competing. Don't expect them to make it though.

They've been bombarded by multiple injuires, but most of us have underestimated the loss of Tyreke. He's their primary playmaker. A big blow....

If they don't win Tuesday vs Dallas, they won't win for quite some time

Even if they survived that rough stretch and went say, 7-8 (which is being generous at this point), they'd still be 8-17 while already 25 games deep into the season.

It is over.

Look forward to 2016-2017 at this point.

Gentry is a shit coach. If this is who you were going to hire, probably should have kept Monty

This is great news for Suns, Jazz, Grizzlies, etc. fans. With them out of the picture there's 2 spots opened up.

Looks pretty bleak. They should get key guys back at some point but even at full health I didn't see them winning 50+ games, so I don't expect them to go on a 22-8 type of runs once(if) they get all their players healthy. It helps my kings that there is one less team fighting for a 7-8 seed, but they need to start winning games or it won't matter how bad the other teams fighting for those spots are.

Losing at home to Denver with AD getting hurt, yeah it looks about time to go for the tank.
