The Suns don’t have a ton of talent on their team. But they find ways to beat you! Their guys know both their pros and cons. They know their strengths and their weaknesses. There aren’t any egos on that team at all. Chris Paul is one of the greatest players of all time. While his numbers aren’t reflecting that now, the team success is and that is how the Suns have experienced so much success. The Wizards may be in for a long night tonight.
