No one talks about the Suns dominance. No one.
The Suns will be the 5th team to spend more than 20 days as the only team with 50 wins in a season and the first since the 1982-83 76ers. The previous four teams to do so went on to win the title that season.

You can penalize the Suns for other teams’ injuries this postseason, or you can praise James Jones for constructing a team deep enough to survive theirs.

How has James Jones navigated the last 3 trade deadlines? . 2020: Nothing. 2021: Traded cash to the Bucks for Torrey Craig.2022: Traded Jalen Smith Pacers for Torrey Craig, traded cash to the Wizards for Aaron Holiday. Gonna be impossible for JJ to acquire Craig again via trade.

Durant was my favorite non-Sun in the NBA and has been for a decade. Does he now become my favorite Sun?. No. Devin Booker is my favorite Sun of all time. Proverb 1:35: "For if we had no Booker, we'd have no Durant.".

Both Kevin Durant and Devin Booker finished with 27.1 points per game in 2023-24. That means that Tom Chambers' franchise single-season record for points per game (27.2) from 1989-90 remains intact.
