Which team is better: 1993 or 2006?

by Dan @ Bright Side Of The Sun on Dec 19, 2006 10:02 PM MST in Phoenix Suns News

Now that the 2006 Phoenix Suns team has broken the win streak record with 15 wins (and counting) which team do you think is better: the 2006 Phoenix Suns team that has won 15 games so far OR the 1993 team with Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle, Kevin Johnson and Tom Chambers that won 14 in a row and went to the finals?

I've got a poll after the jump. Let me know what the answer is there or make a comment below.

My thoughts? I still think the 1993 team was better. As I remember it (and it's been long enough that my memory could be all messed up), it seems that the 1993 team had more of a killer instinct. They got a huge lead and then let the scrubs come in to clean up. With the 2006 team, they can't really do that because the bench isn't deep enough.

I'm curious to know what you think. Let me know in the poll and in the comments!

Interesting Question

I'm not going to vote yet because I haven't made up my mind.

My take is the top 5 Suns on this team have more refined talent and chemistry than the top 5 in 1993. On the flip side, those other players are what make a good team great ... and clearly 1993 has the edge there (in my memory too).

Right now I'm staying away from the poll until I make up my mind. I will, however, go vote that the streak ends at 14 ... just for giggles.

Secondary Question ...

... which team is more fun to watch and cheer for?

That's a hard question too!

I don't even know who was more fun to cheer for. This team is definitely exciting but the team in 1993 was also fun because they had Charles Barkley and he always made things more interesting.

But I would probably give the slight edge to the 2006 team as the team that I most enjoyed watching.
