For so many years I have muted the TV and turned up the radio. While the #Suns have had some fantastic TV voices since simulcast ended (K-Ray is the best there is today), listening to Al call one last #Shazam on television is a memory I will NEVER forget. ❤️💪🔥 #WeAreTheValley

The Phoenix #Suns were never going to win their first title easily. I actually wouldn’t want them to. And I keep reminding myself that the #DBacks won two at home, lost three on the road, then won the final two. I feel good that the Suns will still find a way. #RallyTheValley
