Sixteen losses in a row makes the snow here in Phoenix today seem kind of poetic.  But in times like these, we don't get down, we get creative.  So, this week we bring in friend of the pod, scratch golfer, and - most importantly - Nuggets fan Bill McElroy.  Why is it important that he's a Nuggets fan?  Well, the Suns aren't winning on their own, so maybe we can steal some mojo from his Nuggets. Listen in as we: - Each predict how many more games the Suns will win this year; - Have our annual "what's up with TJ Warren's [insert body part here]" conversation; and - let Bill take over a segment and fire some questions at us from an outsider's perspective.

What is more surprising, the Kristaps Porzingis trade or Fanning the Flames coming at you two weeks in a row?  We say it's a toss-up.  Regardless, on this week's episode of Fanning the Flames, we talk the Phoenix Suns and - as we are prone to do - much, much more.  This episode's topics include: - The Suns-Spurs game and Gregg Popovich's post-game comments; - Comparisons between Popovich/the Spurs and Bill Belichick/the Patriots (one podcast, two sports... what else can you ask for?); - The Porzingis trade; - Anthony Davis' trade request (and, as an added bonus, Paul tries to convince Justin that the Suns should trade Deandre Ayton in an effort to land AD); and - The potential of the Suns getting involved in a trade for AD and walking away with Lonzo Ball.

Thunder game, so we discuss the pluses and minuses we saw in that game, along with: - the team leadership and development since fully committing to the youth movement (Jamal Crawford is young at heart); -  the Suns' recent streak of moderate success; - Kelly Oubre's role on the team (side note, does Kelly Oubre have a Misfits skull tattoo on his leg?); and - breaking down our views on Doncic and Ayton thus far.

Have you ever seen the movie "What About Bob?"  If you haven't, you should, because right now the Suns are our own real-life version of Bob Wiley.  They're taking baby steps.  Over the past few weeks, we've seen improvements - albeit small improvements.  While we may not be seeing wins yet, the team is trending in the right direction.   Will the Suns keep trending in the right direction?  We let you know what we think in this episode of Fanning the Flames.  In addition, we discuss: - the continuing void at point guard; - Coach Kokoskov starting to figure out who he can trust to put on the floor night in and night out; and - whether Markel Fultz should be an option for the Suns.

The Suns are 0-6 since their opening night win against the Dallas Mavericks, and those six losses have not been pretty.  The team is turning the ball over far too much, and most everyone not named Booker, Warren, or Ayton is struggling to put the ball in the basket.  The forecast for your Phoenix Suns certainly looks gloomy... But, here on Fanning the Flames we like to think that every cloud has a silver lining (some silver linings are just much harder to find than others).  On this week's episode, we delve into the negatives, but also discuss some positives including: - Deandre Ayton continuing his solid play; - the emergence of Mikal Bridges and Elie Okobo; and - the new and improved T.J. Warren. We also give our thoughts on what we want to see Igor Kokoskov do with his rotation (spoiler alert - less Ryan Anderson, Trevor Ariza, and Tyson Chandler).

What a performance on opening night by the Phoenix Suns.  Is Devin Booker an MVP candidate?  Is Deandre Ayton going to win Rookie of the Year?  Is this team going to make the greatest single season turnaround in NBA history?  OK, OK, we're getting way ahead of ourselves.  But, the Suns' dominating win over the Dallas Mavericks on opening night was a positive step that all Suns fans have been waiting to see.   In this episode of Fanning the Flames, we dig into the Suns' opening night win, including: - The debut of Deandre Ayton; - The return of Devin Booker (and his ridiculous fourth quarter); - Coach Kokoskov's offense; and - The performances of Trevor Ariza, Josh Jackson, and TJ Warren.  We also touch on reports that the Suns had the opportunity to trade for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on draft night.

The Suns offseason has become quite interesting over the past couple weeks.  Unfortunately, the net result leaves many more questions than answers as we near the NBA season: - What does Devin Booker's surgery mean for the team?   - Where does trading Brandon Knight leave the Suns in regard to the point guard position?   - What are the Suns going to do about the glut of wings? - Does Devin Booker really love unicycles?   We tackle those questions (and more) in this episode of Fanning the Flames.  We also present a trade idea that may upgrade the Suns at point guard, alleviate the wing overload, and free up significant cap space next offseason.
