The Phoenix Suns, who got a key player back in the lineup this week, will try to finish their six-game East Coast road trip with a bang when they go for their fourth straight win in Atlanta on Friday.
Brian Gregory was a controversial hire. Mat Ishbia promoted yet another Michigan State Spartan to a position of power in an offseason where that became a trend, as new head coach Jordan Ott was a former video coordinator at MSU under Tom Izzo. These days, most Suns fans have very little to critique about the coaching hire.
The Phoenix Suns inch closer towards the NBA All-Star break continuing to shatter preseason hopes and expectations. Owner Mat Ishbia is loving it. Ishbia, after his failed star experiment was torn down this offseason, assembled a team many thought would only win 30 games this season.
The Suns have shocked many NBA fans by being the underdog story of the year. After trading away Kevin Durant and stretching and waiving the remainder of Bradley Beal’s contract, many thought this team was doomed.
When Phoenix Suns Owner Mat Ishbia dismissed Bleacher Report’s prediction of the Suns’ record, it wasn’t just an owner defending his team. It was a signal of how the Phoenix Suns want to be understood.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
Star power has never been Phoenix’s problem, as they have their shot creation covered with their overloaded scoring abilities. But in today’s NBA, late-game offense is less about who starts the possession and more about who finishes it.
The Phoenix Suns have done a complete 180 this season after a very unfortunate past couple seasons. Despite championship expectations, the Suns did not win a single playoff game with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal alongside Devin Booker over the past two years and missed the playoffs completely with a 36-46 record last season.
Ten days ago, I threw a challenge into the void. I went to The Feed and asked, in full Stephen Crowder fashion, for someone to change my mind on the idea that the Suns should stand pat as the trade deadline approaches.
Welcome to Inside the Suns, your weekly deep down analysis of the current Phoenix Suns team. Each week the Fantable – a round table of Bright Siders – give their takes on the Suns’ latest issues and news.
TEMPE — The Valley Suns had reinforcements on Wednesday as they were able to take a 117-111 win against the Stockton Kings. The Suns entered Wednesday’s matchup coming off a 113-108 loss to the Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.
Before the season, Bleacher Report painted the Phoenix Suns as a 26–56 afterthought. Not rebuilding, just regressing. That projection has already been shattered, as the Phoenix Suns have been locked in so far this season.
On Sunday morning, the Phoenix Suns aren’t just opening the doors to their team store. They’re opening a window into how modern franchises build culture with their new apparel release with Ironwilled Clothing.
Last season, the Phoenix Suns managed to turn disappointment into an art form. The most expensive roster the league has ever seen could not even sniff the Play In, let alone the postseason.
PHILADELPHIA — The Phoenix Suns and their fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of guard Jalen Green, and on Tuesday, they finally saw him back on the court for the first time since November.
Devin Booker scored 27 points to guide the visiting Phoenix Suns to a 116-110 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Playing for the first time since early November, Jalen Green (hamstring) came off the Suns bench and played 20 minutes, scoring 12 points on 4-of-11 shooting.
Dillon Brooks’ technical foul problem has reached a new level. The Suns forward picked up his NBA-leading 14th technical on Monday during the Phoenix Suns’ win over the Brooklyn Nets.
The Suns like what they have. Quite a bit, actually. Team officials have told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic that the Suns are not looking to make a move at the trade deadline unless something truly blows them away.
Team officials “love” the chemistry the Suns have established this season and aren’t looking to make a trade ahead of this season’s deadline unless it’s an “amazing” deal, sources tell Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
Despite having a star-powered trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Suns didn’t even make the play-in tournament, finishing in 11th place in the West with a 36-46 record.
Grayson Allen had been in some fine form this year. Playing for the Phoenix Suns, the 30-year-old is currently averaging 16.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.
For a player who has helped the Suns so much with his 21.3 points per game and tough defense, Brooks has managed to hurt his team at the worst possible moments.
