The surprising Phoenix Suns are sitting pretty — if pretty mediocre — at 7-9 right now. Not ideal, just 2 1/2 years removed from being a few games away from the NBA Finals, but the team has piled up half as many wins in a month as some prognosticators picked them to win all year. More importantly, even after sending speedster rookie guard Kendall Marshall to the D-League on Thursday, the team remains entertaining to watch. That's a remarkable achievement, considering the fact that the Suns were forced into dealing Steve Nash to Los Angeles last July.
