In the hotel room.
Goodwin hadn't left yet and was watching the live broadcast of the Phoenix Suns game with James.
"The Suns are so strong," James couldn't help but remark.
Watching the entire game, he felt like the Phoenix Suns hadn't even broken a sweat, yet they were already wiping the floor with the Pioneers.
Goodwin thought, 'Of course they are. They're the Phoenix Suns, the defending champions.'
"They have a great chance of defending their title this season," Goodwin said after a moment of reflection.
The West was packed with powerhouses, but looking at the landscape, the Lakers were definitely not contenders. They've gambled on the future.
As for the Kings, they weren't a match for the Phoenix Suns last season, and with the Suns' roster evolving yet again this season, the Kings have even less of a chance of stopping them.
The only real threat was the Spurs.
The thought made Goodwin find the situation somewhat amusing.
