It’s time to snap back to reality, health permitted. Last season’s Game 7 did not “break” the Phoenix Suns this season. Injuries did.
It’s easy to get things twisted with recency bias along with that sour taste that was in our mouths all summer long — but at full strength — the Suns have already shown they can still play with anyone. Hell, even near full strength, you can line them up toe-to-toe with just about any team in the association.
Around the time Devin Booker (among others) went down, the team was sitting at a comfortable 19-12 record.
