3 yrs ago today, the Suns lost their 10th straight game of a 17-game losing streak that would drop their record to 11-50. Their best players: Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton & Mikal Bridges. Today, those same guys are on an 11-game winning streak, with a 41-9 record.

Hey all non-Suns fans who happen to see this: We don’t feel bad at all for having a healthier team than our opponents these playoffs. Not one bit. Why? 2007, 2006 and 2005. Let’s include 2014, 2009 too. Chris Paul doesn’t either, for his own historical reasons
