Bad management doesn't count as bad luck. It's just bad management.
The Suns have the 4th best winning percentage over 40 years and do not have a championship. That's about all I have to say. The management put together great teams in every decade, especially the years 92-93, 93-94, and 94-95. All of those teams were derailed by injuries, and that 92-93 team would have still beat just about any Finals team, but ran into the best Jordan of all time.
Same with this decade. Especially 05-06. Had the 04-05 or the 06-07 team been playing that year, the Suns win the championship, no question in my mind. But Amare and KT had to get hurt and leave the Suns with virtually no big man.
The Suns continue to contend for the championship year after year and come up short, while teams like the Spurs luck into injuries/suspensions/lockout shortened years. Hopefully that will soon change.
