Expectations were not high for the Suns coming into this season, but Phoenix heads into the All-Star break with a winning record and they're competing for an actual playoff spot instead of fighting to make the play-in.
On Tuesday they beat the Mavericks to win their 32nd game after they came into the season with an over/under of 31.5. Suns owner Mat Ishbia took the opportunity to tweet at Bill Simmons and try to rub it in his face. Ishbia previously targeted Simmons after someone else at The Ringer wrote that the Suns would have the worst defense in the NBA this season.
