this video is over an hour long but i was only allowed to post 15 minutes.

Had to take advantage of the PAZE50 code to grab this:

To go with these:

Yes this was the series STAT and Boris Diaw got that bullshit suspension. 2007 really was supposed to be our year :/

Very rare to see loyalty like this these days

When will Suns+ be available to purchase for this season?

Me and my wife bought it based on an ad “every game, lower than row 15” I ✅ out and then in the fine print it, didn’t guarantee access, just the opportunity to maybe go. I sent an email within 20 min asking to please cancel. I’ve spent over 100k on tickets over the last 4 years, having seats on the floor for years. They said tough luck, you can apply it towards what we approve so far. I was definitely going to spend money on tickets but for them to basically force me into something as a customer who spends a ton of money feels slimy. If they don’t make it right I won’t give them another dollar. I know the “terms and conditions” but also being human is important. I have had people miss operations at my clinic, I don’t say “tough sh**” I could, but reputation is important. And the fact that they haven’t been used, geeze. Not like I went then complained. It’s a trivial amount of money to me but the principle feels slimy especially given what I spend there anyway.

Mondays broadcast.

There’s a weird pattern in Phoenix that I don’t think gets talked about enough: over the last several iterations of our roster, whoever wears #3 seems to become the avatar for what the Suns are culturally at that moment.

Kelly Oubre Jr. was #3 during the Valley Boyz era. He brought the swagger, personality and youthful energy. “Valley Boyz” became more than a nickname. It became the identity of a young team trying to establish itself.

Then Chris Paul took #3 and everything changed. The Suns suddenly became about professionalism, accountability, preparation and winning. CP3 didn’t just add another star. He represented a completely different standard for the organization.

Next came Bradley Beal. The identity shifted again toward the Big Three. Massive offensive talent, but a team that sometimes struggled to develop a collective personality around three stars. Even the “chilling in the corner” stuff became representative of that era.

Now it’s Dillon Brooks, and (once again) #3 represents something completely different: physicality, defense, intensity, toughness and making the other team uncomfortable.

And it actually goes further back than Oubre. Phoenix has had a surprisingly consistent history of #3s who seemed to embody whatever version of the Suns they were playing for. Rex Chapman represented the high-energy, fearless Suns of the late 90s. Stephon Marbury represented the flashy, scoring-focused transition into the Marion/Amar’e era. Quentin Richardson, Boris Diaw and Jared Dudley each fit different pieces of the Nash-era identity, from Q-Rich’s shooting and swagger to Diaw’s versatility and Dudley’s toughness and team-first attitude. Then Oubre, CP3, Beal and now Brooks continue the pattern. Obviously not every #3 was a franchise-defining player, but there are enough examples across different eras that it’s hard not to wonder if #3 has become the Suns’ unofficial cultural avatar.

That’s what makes the pattern interesting. Maybe #3 isn’t actually creating the culture. Maybe #3 is the Suns’ avatar. Oubre represented personality. CP3 represented professionalism. Beal represented the star-powered era. Brooks represents defensive identity and physicality.

And through all of those versions of #3, Devin Booker has been the ONLY constant. That might be the most interesting part. Book has been there through every cultural shift, while #3 seems to change the temperature of the team around him.

So maybe “the Suns go as #3 goes” isn’t quite the right way to describe it. Maybe #3 tells us what the Suns are trying to become.

If Brooks really is the avatar for this version of the Suns, the real test isn’t whether Brooks plays with that identity. It’s whether the Suns still play like Dillon Brooks when he isn’t on the floor.

That’s when #3 stops being the avatar and the culture actually becomes the team.

Am I onto something, or is this just an interesting coincidence?

On the bright side, it's not Yrefy.

I know it’s only preseason, but I’m stoked for it.

Sup you sunny mofos??

The first official day of the 2026-27 season is here. It's the Phoenix Suns Media day! Things get underway at 10am.

Book
Brooks
Bridges
Oso
Maluach

Oso plays the connector role. Maluach can space and crash the glass. Bridges can attack the paint and pass out. Defense should be on point.

Team is big. Oso can switch, guard 2 - 5. Maluach plays the drop. Rebounding will be stellar.
