The Suns are 3-7 in the month of December. Should we be worried?
Welcome to a Christmas edition of Tom’s Title Tiers. A reminder: This is my subjective list based largely on objective data. This is not a pure, analytical ranking. You’re here because you want to know what I think, to get inside my brain a little bit. Consider this a weekly report of what I see on film; what I glean from the numbers; what I hear on the phone; what I read in the news; what I feel.
This week’s featured squad: the Phoenix Suns.
Here’s a quick rundown of each tier.
