It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as 2015: Devin Booker needs help. That feels like a ludicrous statement for a Phoenix Suns team that has Kevin Durant, but it became abundantly hard to ignore, yet again, in their 118-102 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 on Tuesday. It was the first time…
Facing a 2-0 series deficit, the absence of Chris Paul and the knowledge that no team in NBA playoff history had ever come back from being down 3-0, Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns played with desperation Friday night. In a 121-114 win in Game 3 of their second-round matchup with the Denver Nuggets, they unlocked a thrilling — albeit…
Game 3 is the make-or-break moment of the 2022-23 NBA season for the Phoenix Suns. A win against the Denver Nuggets Friday night injects new life into this second-round series, giving them a chance to even the score at home in Game 4. A loss drops them to a 3-0 deficit, which no team in NBA playoff history has ever…
Coming off a 125-107 shellacking in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns have a lot to prove in Game 2. They took a shot to the jaw in Friday’s opener, and while it’s too soon to declare Game 2 a “must-win” game, another loss in that fashion would sow seeds of doubt that…
The Phoenix Suns have officially entered the Kevin Durant era, and so now felt like a good time for another Suns Monthly Mailbag! From questions about Durant’s Suns debut to what Monty Williams’ rotation might look like to possible playoff matchups, there’s plenty of hoops-related content to dive into. But our readers were also curious about favorite movies, Marvel vs.…...
Friday was a normal game day for the Phoenix Suns. Coming off the All-Star break and the media circus that followed Kevin Durant’s arrival, a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder represented a return to the norm. For Ish Wainright, however, it was a turbulent, emotionally charged day. Wainright, who was still playing on a two-way contract, officially ran out…
On Wednesday, the Phoenix Suns announced that they had waived Duane Washington Jr. from his two-way contract and would be signing Saben Lee to that slot. The response from the fanbase seemed to be split down the middle. On the one hand, Lee had been stealing Washington’s minutes since joining the team on two 10-day contracts. During a stretch where…
The Phoenix Suns typically withhold judgment on their rotations until they have a 20-game sample size to work with. They’re only 16 games into the new season, and their new starting lineup hasn’t even had seven full games together yet. However, with Chris Paul’s sore right heel set to be re-evaluated later this week, and Cam Johnson out for 1-2…
Cam Payne and the Phoenix Suns’ bench felt like areas for concern heading into 2022-23, but both have played better than advertised. The problem is, Payne hasn’t entirely been a consistent member of that second unit yet. The reason? Injuries and one public trade request have dealt significant blows to the Suns’ depth, forcing Payne, Torrey Craig and a few…
For the first 24 excruciating minutes, the Phoenix Suns’ 2022-23 season opener felt like a continuation of their Game 7 annihilation back in May. Shots weren’t falling, Luka Doncic was smirking, the Dallas Mavericks were up by more than 20 and hope felt like it had been drained from The Footprint Center itself. At one point, the Suns had battled…...
