The Suns are loaded with talent on the perimeter that will challenge Toronto.
Phoenix
If you enjoy free flowing perimeter basketball than the Phoenix Suns are your team.
I have questions as to whether this team can compete with the best team’s in the league in playoff type situations but there is no denying they have talent, especially when it comes to putting the ball in the basket.

They are not the most efficient team but their pace creates more opportunities which is why they are among league scoring leaders, that and a league best FT% – almost 85%. They will push the Raptors.
I might be wrong but I think you have to go back a ways to find a team that was led in scoring by a player off their bench.
That is the case with the Suns whose leading scorer is free agent acquisition Isaiah Thomas. It was a questionable signing in terms of need but they are getting production from the diminutive guard.

He is one of 4 guards on the roster averaging more than 13ppg.
Toronto
They may be only in their 20th season but the Raptors are off to their best start ever.
Taking advantage of favourable scheduling they have zoomed to the top of the Eastern Conference.
They are returning home brimming with confidences thanks to the fact that they has a quality win against LeBron and the Cavs on Saturday night. They were down big time early (18 points in the first) and came all the way back to win really big.
This team is good but they are also showing tremendous resilience. They have come back a few times already this season.
The star at Cleveland was Louis Williams. A key pickup he has been money off the bench and last time out set a career high with 36 points.
Sweet Lou is a gunner but he has been able to mesh his game with this established team very well and he has a knack for making big shots.

The Raptors just might have the best bench in the NBA as they regularly get contributions from Williams, Greivis Vazquez and Patrick Patterson.
