Fanning the Flames

As Paul makes his triumphant return to Fanning the Flames, we dive into the hottest topic of conversation for Phoenix Suns fans right now: Deandre Ayton. In addition to looking (again) at what we think the future holds for him, we discuss how Ayton is perceived by the team and BY fans right now. Does he shoulder too much blame? Is the criticism warranted?

In addition to DA TALK, we get into which current Suns players may not be back next season. Should the Suns give up on Cameron Payne? What role does Landry Shamet have moving forward?

All of this, plus more, on this episode of Fanning the Flames!

Pretty much everyone on Planet Orange has shared their thoughts and frustrations over the end of the Phoenix Suns season... except Daniel Duarte. That changes on this episode of Fanning the Flames.

Dan is ready to talk about it, so if you want a little more group therapy, come along for the ride as we discuss what went wrong, what needs to change, who we think will and will not be back with the team next season, and, of course, much more.

The Phoenix Suns sit tied with the Dallas Mavericks at two games apiece. The two losses in Dallas were not pretty, but they were also marred by atypical play and horrific officiating. And without placing "blame" on the referees, there's no doubt that they impacted both games significantly. But, more importantly, will all of this continue? We think not, and we (sans Paul) explain why on this episode of Fanning the Flames.
