The Phoenix Suns had lost 6 in a row, only suited up 9 players, and had Mikal Bridges as the only available regular starter, but despite it all, the team pulls out a big victory over the Golden State Warriors. Maybe the Suns are back from holiday break like us! Did it get dicey towards the end? Sure. But a win is a win and the Suns need them when they can get them while they continue to battle through injuries. On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we break down the win over the Warriors and...

The Suns are riding a 4 game losing streak as we type this episode summary. There are lots of questions that could be asked, and understandably so. The goal of this episode is to answer two big questions: 1. What have we learned about the Suns themselves (i.e. what have we learned about the players, coaches, front office, etc.)? 2. Where do the Suns rank in relation to the other teams with title aspirations, or at least, the teams we actually think could win the whole thing. As always, we...

What an interesting week of basketball. The Suns blew out some teams, and got blown out by others. Devin Booker shines as he puts on an MVP showcase and then follows it up with a dud. Chris Paul is hurt, and then he's... well, still hurt. We talk about what we can learn, and maybe shouldn't take too seriously, from this run of games and talk about what still needs to change moving forward!

The Phoenix Suns are depleted by injuries and have lost a couple of games since our last episode of Fanning the Flames. Nonetheless, guys keep stepping up, the team is persevering, and - despite it all - are still sitting just one-half game out of first in the West. We break down the past week in the Suns (and our own little) universe as we discuss: The greatest episode of Suns JAM Session (@SunsJAM) ever; All the dysfunction around the NBA; Klay Thompson and the Splash Only Child, Steph...

Mikal Bridges' performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Do the Suns need to make a trade? And, of course, recent gambling adventures. Make sure to follow Paul...

WARNING: This episode is a bit of a bummer. With Cam Johnson sidelined "indefinitely" the Suns will have to make some internal changes to keep the play strong and the vibes stronger. With Craig's likely shift into the starting 5, what will happen to the bench unit? We look at the ripple effects from Cam Johnson's injury and see what the Suns may be able to do to keep things steady moving forward. Make sure to subscribe on all podcast platforms!
