Phoenix Suns could ride early winnable schedule back to respectability

The Phoenix Suns’ schedule is out, and we’re right back where we started a year ago, aren’t we? A winnable opening game, followed by a murderer’s row of Western Conference elite that could shake the Suns new foundation to its core.

But lemme grab those rose-colored glasses — err, purple-colored, that is — and look past October to what could be the best two months of basketball we’ve seen in Phoenix since Jeff Hornacek roamed the sideline and Goran Dragic ran point.

I’m not saying the schedule is easy.
