Despite what happened with Golden State and Cleveland Cavaliers this decade, almost no NBA teams repeat a Finals appearance two years in a row. And almost no cinderella season is matched in fervor and euphoria a season later.
The Phoenix Suns surprised the league, and even themselves, last season by playing so focused, so mistake-free, so driven that they blitzed all the way through the 2020-21 season and playoffs, including the Western Conference bracket, like a juggernaut despite having no prior experience together on such a stage.
So of course they can do it again next year, especially since they kept the band together during the offseason (the only player who helped the Suns make the Finals but won’t be back this year is 15 minutes-per-game Torrey Craig).
