What Should We Believe About the Suns… Is This Season Still a Success?

What should we believe about the Phoenix Suns right now… and what will make this season considered a success? 

After a season that started with no expectations, the Suns success early has left fans questioning what is success at the end of the year. Do they need to be a top 6 seed and make the playoffs outright or is it a success simply making the play in?  The last two losses have left them on the outside looking in with their chances at the 6th seed getting slimmer with every loss. With inconsistency creeping in and expectations shifting, it’s getting harder to define what success actually looks like for Phoenix.

In this episode of Southwest Bias, Espo breaks down the identity crisis surrounding the Suns and what it means moving forward:

• How recent losses have changed the outlook on the season
• The role of Devin Booker and the pressure on the team’s core
• Whether this season can still be viewed as a success — and what needs to happen for that to be true

The Western Conference isn’t slowing down, and the Suns are running out of time to prove who they really are. Is this just a bump in the road, or the beginning of a bigger reality check?
