Suns’ dribble penetration flashes can be the catalyst for a successful season

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ Phoenix’s offense looks so deadly when the Suns take the right approach. The tendency of the Phoenix Suns offense to only be lethal in stretches is making the other stretches stand out like a sore thumb. In a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks that was over before it started, the Suns showed flashes of dribble penetration, something many Suns pundits have been clamoring for. So many of the other possessions start with screens or handoffs that become so predictable, especially when Suns ball handlers are as reluctant to pull up for 3 over the...

The Phoenix Suns need to rack up wins in their upcoming stretch

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports The Valley has their easiest games left on the year coming up and they can’t afford to lose them The Phoenix Suns’ performance in their 107-96 victory over the Charlotte Hornets was sluggish. This uninspiring performance was expected considering that the Valley was coming into the game on the second end of a back-to-back in which the first leg was against the Boston Celtics, the team that boasts the best record in the NBA. On the other hand, the Hornets are one of the worst teams in the league and pose little threat to Phoenix as an...

Suns Week 21 Stock Exchange: The “lazy” Suns, the lack of an edge, and the return of IT

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ A 2-2 road trip leaves us questioning the resiliency of the Suns. I’ve given myself a couple of hours after the Phoenix Suns' disappointing loss to the Milwaukee Bucks to begin to author my weekly summation of the week that was. I still don’t know which direction I should go or exactly how I feel about this team at this stage of the season. Who is ready for me to figure it out as I type? This could get interesting... On the one hand, I feel disappointed. I expected more. I assumed that when you had three top-scoring talents in the NBA,...

Hitting 18 threes in the first half — the most by any team in a half all-time- — the Bucks halted a Suns run in the fourth quarter, leaving them stunned and still searching for answers. Bradley Beal became the true leader at point for the Suns, scoring 28 points and dishing out seven assists. The Suns as a team moved the ball well and as a team tallied 36 assists....

Phoenix Suns reuniting with Isaiah Thomas, will sign a 10-day contract with the team

Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via The 35 year-old 5’9” point guard has been in the G League. Now he’s back with the Suns. Once upon a time, the Phoenix Suns had an interesting roster dilemma. They had too many point guards. And then one day, that didn’t have enough. You may recall the 2014-15 Suns roster, which is now nine years in the rearview mirror. GM Ryan McDonough had stock-piled point guard talent, so much so that it became a struggle to provide everyone minutes. The team rostered Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic during the 2013-14 season, which was a year in...

With 15 games remaining in the Phoenix Suns’ regular season, the team and the fan base are focusing their attention on the future. The postseason begins in just over a month. That’s right. the regular season is “winding down”. The expectations entering the season haven’t lived up to the hype, at least thus far. Mat Ishbia spent the money but hasn’t equated to a satisfactory amount of tick marks in the win column. It isn’t the regular...

Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker invited JJ Redick into his home for a podcast appearance on Redick’s show, The Old Man and the Three, which dropped Wednesday. Longtime fans of both parties know that Booker doesn’t do a lot of media and that Redick has wanted Booker on for a while now, two things that made Wednesday’s episode such a pleasant arrival. The two shooters chopped it up for about an hour, touching on subjects like Luka Doncic, the Book 1, and a plane ride to...

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown has been red-hot since the All-Star break and paced the scoring for the Celtics in a 127-112 win over the Phoenix Suns in a quick stop at TD Garden on Thursday night.

Game Recap: Suns crumble in 127-112 loss to the Celtics

Photo by Maddie Meyer/ Unable to keep up, the Suns fell to the Celtics in a game that ended in the third quarter. The Phoenix Suns were unable to match the Boston Celtics and their hot shooting from three, falling 127-112. Shooting 50% from behind the arc (25-of-50), the Celtics started off slow but rallied at the end of the first quarter and never looked back. Behind Jason Tatum, Al Horford, and Jalen Brown, combining for 87 points, the Suns trio of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant failed to keep up with a combined 65 points. It was a game you can throw...
