It’s difficult to remember that last time I felt truly confident about the Suns before a new season began. By confident I mean going into that new season just knowing that the Suns were going to do well and wondering how far they might get in the playoffs. Those days are gone, and for far too long, I’ve instead found myself wondering how bad the team might be and when they might eventually just get close to the eighth seed again.
As training camp is almost ready to begin, this season is no different. I am feeling a bit more hopeful and optimistic than in recent years, though.
