We’re not even a third of the way through the Phoenix Suns’ season, yet it’s already been marked by one of the strangest schedules I can remember. Earlier this year, the Suns played seven games in 10 nights, followed by a five-day break. Just last week, after losing to the Orlando Magic on Sunday, they didn’t play again until Friday. And now, after defeating the Portland Trail Blazers last night, they won’t see the court again until Thursday.
