Monty Williams wins peer vote for COY, but media is overthinking it... AGAIN

The Phoenix Suns just set a franchise record with 64 wins and are the overwhelming #1 seed in the NBA Playoffs while dealing with a number of distractions that would have derailed most any team’s season:

  • ‘Disease of me’ that usually hits an overnight sensation after a summer off
  • Getting every opponent’s best every night
  • Allegations of racism and misogyny hanging over the team’s owner the whole season (they were 3-3 when the story broke) that still hangs over everyone’s head
  • Month+ injuries to six of their top seven players, 3rd-most impactful games lost to injury/COVID in the entire league

Despite those hurdles, the Suns dominated the season: best home record, best road record, best clutch record, best net rating, etc.
