The NBA regular season begins in earnest this week as the Phoenix Suns kick off their 2016-17 on Wednesday night at home against the Sacramento Kings.
So much has happened since the Suns last held a .500 or better record - about 9:30 PM on November 25, 2015 to be more or less exact - that we should savor these moments where a Phoenix Suns win-loss record is not yet negative.
This is the time to be hyper-optimistic!
I mean, if you’d asked me six years ago what would happen first: the Suns reaching the playoffs or the Cubs reaching the World Series, I’d have bet on the former.
