Some people collect stamps. Others like baseball cards or coins. The Phoenix Suns collect point guards. At least that’s the perception around the NBA. After acquiring Isaiah Thomas in a sign-and-trade deal with the Sacramento Kings and giving Eric Bledsoe a fat, new contract, the Suns boast three top-notch point guards. The trio also includes […]

Phoenix Suns’ Eric Bledsoe destroys Clippers’ Jared Cunningham

Well that’s not nice. Late in the third quarter of Wednesday’s preseason game between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers, Suns guard Eric Bledsoe had the ball near the three-point line. Looking to shake defender Jared Cunningham, he started dribbling hard to his left before pulling up to shoot a three. Cunningham, unfortunately, was […]

Phoenix Suns need to ‘bring it at all times’ to win this season

PHOENIX, Ariz. — For a first impression, the Phoenix Suns failed to impress. Sure, there were some bright spots in the preseason opener against Brazilian club team Flamengo. Isaiah Thomas’ 18 second half points off the bench comes to mind, even Eric Bledsoe’s 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting or Marcus Morris’ 10-point, seven rebound, four […]

Life in the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association is rough. Just ask the Phoenix Suns, who came out of nowhere to win 48 games during the 2013-14 season. Most years, 48 wins will get you into the postseason. Hell, last year in the East, that number would have given the Suns the third-most […]
