List of Phoenix Suns seasons

I am nominating this for featured list because it meets the criteria. I recently worked on the Clippers' list, so I used it as a template to improve the Suns' list. Comments/Questions/Criticism are welcome! Cheetah  (talk)  07:20, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Comment Any reason why playoff series Won and Lost are listed in the same way, "winning team's score–losing team's score". I believe that because this list is about the Phoenix Suns, it should be listed "Phoenix Suns' score–opponent's score". It's less confusing and easier to read. — MT (talk) 05:23, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Since the words "won" and "lost" are used, the scores are listed as you say "winning team's score–losing team's score". If those words were missing, then the scores would have been listed as "Phoenix Suns' score–opponent's score". By reading the word "lost", how could anyone be confused(and think that the Suns won)?-- Cheetah  (talk)  06:39, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, recently there are some series of reverts in List of Los Angeles Lakers seasons whether to write 4–0 or 0–4. It's probably because there are so many different style in NBA team's season articles. For example, the List of Boston Celtics seasons have different style. List of Miami Heat seasons have even a weirder way to write the playoff series. Anyway I still think that writing "Lost to Lakers, 2–4" make more sense than "Lost to Lakers, 4–2". But this isn't a big deal and shouldn't hinder your FLC. – MT (talk) 06:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There are currently 5 season lists at WP:FL and all 5 have the same format as this one. "lost to Lakers, 2-4" is similar to double negative for me. So when I read it, I analyze it like this: "lost to Lakers, lost" → lost+lost=won → Won vs. Lakers Which is very confusing to me, but I'll wait to see what other reviewers say.-- Cheetah  (talk)  07:21, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well that's a valid reason. Now that I think about it, announcers often says, "lost to Lakers, four games to two". I also notice that all the different formats occur in non-FL lists, which should not be the standard. I'm retracting my suggestion to revert the scores format. But maybe someone would like to have other opinion on this. Anyway, great job on the list. Cheers! — MT (talk) 07:43, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I like "Lost to Lakers, 2–4" because it is easier to add up the playoffs win-loss record. But I guess you guys find it confusing. So, whatever format decided is fine with me.— Chris! c / t 18:31, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
