Suns Stories

Jordan Ott and DeMarre Carroll represent the first branch of Kenny Atkinson’s coaching tree

Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns remain perfect vs Sacramento Kings

Devin Booker once again takes off with new year, Suns beat Kings

It’s been easy to wonder whether Suns knew what they were doing. Turns out, they did

Very minor nitpick, but the score from last night’s game should be 108-105.

Don't look now, but we are sitting in the 7 seed and just 1.5 games back of Minny and Houston, and only 3 games back of the 3-seed LA Lakers. And the Nuggets will probably drop some games in this stretch without Jokic. If we can weather this current tough stretch of the schedule, we could be in a good spot later this season.

Hate to say it but this is where those close early season losses hit you hard. Still, we're in a good spot. Minny and Houston are solid, Lakers feel like frauds and the Nuggets should see some drop off.

Getting a top 6 seed and bypassing the play in all together would be such a massive success.

After defying the odds the first half of the season… why not? It’s been an absolute joy watching this team FIGHT this season. Just crazy what a wet blanket KD was to this team.

Wouldn't be surprised if we finish the season a top 4 seed.

Would already be at #4 in the East. Just gotta figure out how to pack up the whole city and migrate that direction.

Parsons is straight up crazy. And why would the Suns want Austin Reaves? He's not aligned with the Suns new prototype. He's horrible defensively.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

The injury bug going around might help us in the standings too :P

Remember 2 months ago when he was better than Book?

Allen's isn't quite right but Booker's is pretty good.
