Injured Suns Struggle as Season Starts
Nov 9, 202300:28:45Tap to summarizeOn this week's episode of Sunny in PHX, Mitch Krmpotich reviews the Phoenix Suns' recent injury struggles. He also reviews recaps of the last few games and looks forward to the coming three games, especially Friday's in-season tournament game against the Lakers. The Suns have had their struggles this season, but are hopefully on the up and up as the team appears to be on the precipice of full health. Also let me know what books you recommend. I'm trying to get back into reading! I am typically a fan of fantasy (if it's not too long), horror, noir, and fiction in general.

Thankfully Kevin Durant is still here to right the ship. Right? Tune in to find out. Also, we realized in post that we talked about the bet question and then forgot to do one.

Oct 16, 202300:40:46Tap to summarizeOn this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich take a look at the first three preseason games, and then talk about which of the new players have stood out the most to them. The Suns had a preseason start full of "interesting" matchups, Monty Williams and the Pistons, the Denver Nuggets, and the new home of Deandre Ayton, the Portland Trail Blazers. It has been very enjoyable to watch how all the new pieces on the roster are fitting together so quickly at the start of preseason. Then the guys talk about which of the new Suns have impressed them the most so far. This was a tough decision to make, since we've seen so much great output from guys like Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen, Bradley Beal, and more. Thanks for tuning in, and Go Suns!

The Suns bring back Jusuf Nurkic, fan-favorite Grayson Allen, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson. Nurkic, Allen, and Little could all fit into the lineup perfectly, but the guys talk about who might not be making the final roster once the regular season hits. After that, we say farewell to Deandre Ayton and talk about some of his best moments as a Phoenix Sun. Thanks for tuning in, and Go Suns!
