7. Can the Phoenix Suns have one month with a winning record?
In October the Suns play four games, which would be the easiest opportunity to pull off the feat, and is the only month they finished above .500 last year going 2-1. However, starting the season against Sacramento, Oklahoma City, Golden State, and the Clippers, it will not be easy.
To win a month, the Suns will have to find some consistency, have few to no injuries, and a favorable schedule to work with. Stringing together a few wins in a row would certainly help too because it would allow shorter losing streaks to not have the same impact on their record.

Look at February as the best month to finish above .500. Although it is a little shorter because of the nine-day All-Star break, those nine days will help the team get healthy; they should have a good level of consistency with the Watson system; and they have zero games against GS, OKC, SA, Dallas, or Portland.
The last time the Suns won a full month? January 2015. 10-5.
6. Marcus Morris makes his return to Phoenix on November 6, and Markieff makes his return on March 7. Who will receive the louder boos?
Marcus Morris has already returned once, receiving a relentless showering of boos every time he touched the ball and there is no doubt that Markieff will receive the same. But while Markieff will probably receive louder boos this season, Marcus has not shut up about calling out the Suns since his departure, so the public angst he receives may actually become more intense moving forward.
