Editor’s note: I wrote this before Nick Richards became the greatest center to ever play in Phoenix Suns history. While it doesn’t change more overall opinion, I feel much more optimistic than when I wrote this. But the Suns have a long way to go.
Covering the Phoenix Suns day-to-day is like living in a never-ending whirlwind. You’re so deep in the trenches, analyzing every game, every move, every stat, that the big picture starts to blur. You’re obsessed with the battles, but you forget there’s a whole damn war happening. It’s like trying to judge a painting when your nose is pressed against the canvas.
