Suns humming without Chris Paul, but a buzzsaw looms ahead

Suns can win easy games without the Point God. Now they have to win tougher.

Admit it. You were worried.

We were all at least a little bit worried that, without Chris Paul leading the show as the point god, the Phoenix Suns would fall on their faces.

The only positive memories we have with any of these players in Suns uniforms pre-Paul are:

  • a potentially unrepeatable 8-game stretch in the Orlando ‘Bubble’ in the middle of a pandemic with no fans in the stands
  • a two-game blip in the Western Conference Finals against a Kawhi-less LA Clippers

Could either of those stretches accurately predict a two-MONTH run without the Point God?
