At exit interviews last Friday, Chris Paul seemed tired. Not physically tired, being that he was unable to play in the Phoenix Suns’ elimination Game 6 the night before due to a left groin strain. Not mentally tired, despite another tumultuous season falling short of the ultimate goal while being limited by another frustrating injury. Paul seemed “fed up” tired…
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…
That’s why you trade for Kevin Durant. You’d hear it whenever Durant hit a big shot late, swatted a shot at the rim, threw down a monster dunk or hit a ridiculously tough jumper. It’s a phrase that’s been heard around the Valley since Durant joined the Phoenix Suns, but Game 2 of their second-round series against the Denver Nuggets…
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…
As a team that routinely wages an uphill battle against basic math, the Phoenix Suns have little room for error when it comes to the possession game. Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals matchup against the Denver Nuggets proved how ugly it can get when they lose on both fronts, especially against such a quality opponent. Make no mistake…
After a gentleman’s sweep of the shorthanded LA Clippers in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the Phoenix Suns are in a familiar position: facing the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. Unlike that 2021 sweep, however, the Suns will be starting this series off on the road, which is a first for this team in the…
LOS ANGELES — After stealing two consecutive road games in their first-round playoff series, the Phoenix Suns are one win away from advancing to the conference semifinals of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Facing a depleted LA Clippers team missing its two best players helps, but the Suns — who have only played 12 games with a healthy Kevin Durant –…
The Phoenix Suns begin their journey through the 2023 NBA Playoffs with Game 1 against the LA Clippers on Sunday. While Phoenix should be favored in this first-round series, the Clippers are no pushover — even without Paul George. Over the last week, we’ve examined keys to the matchup, the Suns’ biggest playoff concerns and Deandre Ayton being an X-factor…
The Phoenix Suns enter the 2023 NBA Playoffs with considerable talent, but undeniable question marks. Their 45-37 record is misleading because of all the time key players have missed from injury, as well as the fact that they added Kevin Durant late in the season. However, even with KD, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton comprising 80 percent of…...
The Phoenix Suns have only gotten eight games of experience with Kevin Durant, but we know more or less what to expect from their three superstars. KD immediately elevates the offense, Devin Booker has been on a tear with or without Durant, and Chris Paul’s adjustment as an off-ball threat makes the Suns offense more versatile. But where does Deandre…
