Phoenix Suns: 10 Worst Moments Of 2014-15

The Phoenix Suns’ 2014-15 season didn’t go according to plan. This was the year the Suns were supposed to end their playoff drought. They had more point guards than they knew what to do with, they were going to run teams out of the building and they were going to repeat their playing style that made them the most fun team in the NBA in 2013-14.

Instead, the point guards were unhappy splitting minutes, the trade deadline irreparably changed the roster and the Suns fell nine wins short of their 48-win season the year prior.

How did everything go so wrong? What were the turning points that turned an optimistic fan base into one of the league’s most depressed in the span of a few months?

We’ve already covered the best moments of the season, but now it’s time to take a look back on the dog days to try and provide some perspective on how everything went wrong in the end.

Honorable Mention: Alex Len–Hassan Whiteside Tussle

This was an ugly moment in the season. This play marked the second time Whiteside had clowned Len in a loss to Goran Dragic and the Miami Heat. It wasn’t just that Whiteside dunked on him, it was that both times, he landed on Len on purpose, in a punk-ish way of asserting his dominance. The second time, Len wasn’t having it.

Both players were ejected, and somehow Len was fined more than Whiteside was. But watching the team’s seven-footer — and his history of ankle problems — get tackled to the ground was slightly terrifying at the time for Suns supporters, even if Len was simply standing his ground.
