Is that a playoff team? Only if Dame returns to All-Star level, and maybe not even then. The new Blazers will likely have a healthy Damian Lillard back and a respectable starting lineup around him with Anfernee Simons, Josh Hart, Jerami Grant and Jusuf Nurkic, with Gary Payton II coming off the bench as a disruptor. Suns record: 1-0.įriday, October 21 at Portland Trail Blazers : What exactly are the Blazers? As Suns fans know very well, CJ McCollum and Larry Nance are no longer in the Pacific Northwest.
I’d expect the Suns to use this season opener much the same way Denver got back at the Suns in last year’s season opener with a highly spirited debut.
Overall, I think the Mavs got worse this offseason. Wood can shoot threes, but operates a lot in the paint so he might negatively impact driving lanes. The Mavs lost Brunson, and added some size in the middle in Christian Wood and JaVale McGee - a bit surprising considering their most devastating lineups were five-out. This time he won’t have sidekick Jalen Brunson though, and it remains to be seen if Spencer Dinwiddie can keep up the flame-throwing pull-up-threes pace he showed after being acquired by the Mavs and used to break the Suns backs time and again. Dallas Mavericks : ahhh the 8th game of the series first of 82 games of the new season brings Luka back to the site of the massacre. Oh there are definitely some difficult opponents in there, but there’s nothing better than playing at home, amiright. In that 9-game stretch, they only have one playoff-caliber opponent on the road (Clippers). the first two weeks of the season, the Suns play 7 of 9 games at home, including the opener and a six-game home stand.

On Wednesday, we laid out the full Phoenix Suns schedule for the 2022-23 season, and not one thing jumped out to me as ‘uh oh’, except for four straight games in mid-January against West playoff teams on the road (Warriors, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Grizzlies).įrankly, the schedule looks quite kind to the Suns, including the takeoff and landing strips.
