This Phoenix Suns team, despite winning at a 72% clip, is not objectively exciting. You don’t see highlight plays all over the wire. No windmill dunks, no logo threes, no megawatt smiles or shimmy shakes.
What you get is quiet and steady. Chris Paul is famous for getting angry after bad plays but nary a smile cracks after good ones. Devin Booker has always been stoic after good plays. Center Deandre Ayton would rather ‘wall up’ an MVP candidate than swing wildly for the block. Mikal Bridges in-game expression is best described as bemused. Cameron Johnson’s is an introspective frown.
