This is about the Suns and mostly an eyeball test meaning I didn’t look anything up.

Would this year’s Suns be the first “offensive juggernaut” team to win a championship if they do?

I don’t have the actual stats but I think the past champions each had at least a top 10 defense.

Who else was a contender with “no defense” ?

    I feel like that says more about the inconsistency of using defensive rating.

      Or teams change year over year.

      Only 3/7 guys on the team who played 1500+ minutes in 2000 also did so in 2001.

      Green and Rice were gone. Harper and Fisher missed a combined 100 games. Guys like Rider, Fox, and the corpse of Horace Grant replaced a lot of those minutes and none of those guys were good defenders at that point in their careers.
