Best Suns team in the 2010s

Post #1 » by **Qwigglez** » Fri Dec 27, 2019 10:04 pm

Hey guys, as the decade comes to a close I’d like for you all to post your favorite (and least favorite) Suns team of the 2010s. It can consist of the 2 or 3 teams or you can just rank the best team to worst team. I’m on my phone right now, but I’ll post mine sometime in the next couple of days.

Post your favorite highlight of the decade, favorite game, etc too. Best players to worst players of the decade would be thorough but quite fun too.

Anyway have at it.

It will take me awhile to think of all decade so ill go with this year first...

Worst:

Watch on YouTube

Best:

Ayton 24 points in a quarter showing us he can beast

Watch on YouTube

Bookers stretch of high scoring games because it gave us something entertaining to watch despite losing all the games.

Very very bad decade to do this in. I guess we had 3 or 4 years where we finished 9th or 10th and not far out of the playoffs. That's our biggest accomplishment.

Should have waited next decade huh? :lol:

I’d count the 2009-10 Suns. Probably my favorite Suns team of all time. I’ve only been watching since maybe ‘98 or something close to that.

My favourite team of the decade was that from 2011/12.

It was a short season and started in late December because of the lockout...but that increased the desire to watch the team.

Nash
Dudley
Hill
Frye
Gortat

Last season from Nash and Hill on the Suns. I enjoyed every minute from them on the court.

And we signed Michael Redd as a FA.
I loved that player and he retired after this season.

We were a .500 team (33W-33L) , but not good enough to go to the playoffs. But the team was competitive and likeable.

Well, I'd consider that the previous decade, but obviously if that season counts no one will choose any other season.

Yeah, I'd chose the '10 if I could that team was fantastic. If not that one then the 13-14 team that had Horny in his first year. Although an argument could be made that was one our worst teams in the grand scheme of things because it tricked the organization into thinking a rebuild was not necessary at that point.

So the organization was too stupid so to be fooled by and not smart enough to capitalize on very little success? This is why the quality continues.

Does the 09-10 season count?

Dragic
Booker
Warren
Frye
Gortat

Contender: 2010
Good: 2014
Mediocre: 2011, 2012, 2015
Terrible: 2013, 2016-2019

that said, the terrible seasons weren't all that bad: 2013 team had its moments; 2017 team had an overall positive vibe with the return of Barbosa, Dudley, and hometown hero Big Sauce, several buzzer beaters, Ulis & Chriss with solid rookie seasons (how that fizzled out fast), and while several fans have started to turn on him for fair reason Booker was looking to be the first drafted franchise cornerstone since Amare

now to go a bit off topic...

the decade has ended and only Dudley, R Lopez, and Dragic are still NBA players.

by contrast, all the players on the Kings last playoff team (2006) are no longer in the NBA, with the last players being Ron Artest and Ronnie Price in 2017.

Minnesota had another long playoff drought spanning from 2005 to 2017. Kevin Garnett was the last active player of the '04 WCF playoff team, retiring in 2016.

2015–16 NBA Western 14th Pacific 23 59 .280

2017–18 NBA Western 15th Pacific 21 61 .256

2013-14 season. Easy answer. I personally don't count 2009-10 season.

interesting that you posted videos of last season under "best" but nothing from 2013-14, which was the actual best season. Clips:
