Roughly a month into the season, the Suns are among the best teams in the NBA. With that start, fans are understandably excited.

According to the most recent SB Nation Reacts survey, a full 100 percent of Suns fans are confident the team is headed in the right direction. This is the second week in a row to reach those heights, and up from 94 percent two weeks ago.

To start the season, the Suns had an argument to be the most interesting team in the NBA. However, that title almost certainly can only be applied to one team now – the Brooklyn Nets.

Last week the Nets finalized a deal to bring James Harden to Brooklyn, adding him to a roster featuring Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

While Harden’s talent is unquestionable, he has also brought drama throughout his career. When fans around the country were asked if it was more likely the Nets would turn into a disaster or a championship machine, a slight majority expect the team to become dominant. However, only a third of NBA fans expect the Nets to win a title.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the team, one thing is almost unanimous among fans. When the Nets are in position to take a game-winning shot, Durant should be the one with the ball. 87 percent of fans picked Durant while eight percent picked Harden and only five percent picked Irving.
