The NBA is a lot like a reality television show with all the drama and underlying stories that mean just as much to many fans as winning does. The league knows this, and they foster that kind of atmosphere, constantly pitting rivals against each other on the biggest stages.
And for the first time in a long time, the Suns are right back in it. On the second night of the season, televised nationally on ESPN, the Suns will take on the Dallas Mavericks, and it has plenty of underlying drama. It will be the biggest game the Suns have played in years.
