For the first time in eight seasons, the Suns will be without the play of power forward Amar'e Stoudemire, a 5-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year who joined the New York Knicks in the summer.  The Suns traded Jason Richardson on December 18, 2010 as part of a trade that brought Vince Carter to the Suns.  On February 24, 2011, the Suns traded Goran Dragić and the draft pick they got earlier from Orlando in exchange for Aaron Brooks.

For the Suns, they had appeared in their first Finals five years ago but never could claim a divisional title as their own.  Atop the Western Conference standings for the first time, the Suns had earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs.  The offense was highlighted by balanced attack, with four starters averaging 15 points or more a game, but none greater than 19.  This, despite a trade that meant the departure of four-time All-NBA Paul Westphal, who was swapped for fourth-year All-Star guard Dennis Johnson.  In the conference semifinals, the Suns would meet the Kansas City Kings, a team they had defeated in the first round one season ago but found more difficult to handle this season.  After a 22-point win in game one, the Suns would go on to lose game seven and the series.

The 1984–85 Phoenix Suns season was the 17th season for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association.  The Suns were without All-Star Walter Davis for much of the season due to injury.  They would be without him in the playoffs, extending a then-franchise record to eight consecutive seasons even though the Suns finished the regular season with the team's first losing record since the 1976–77 season.

Cotton Fitzsimmons, Suns head coach for the '70–'71 and '71–'72 seasons, returned to the franchise where he got his first head coaching position.  The Suns also enjoyed the benefits of a trade which brought Tom Chambers to the Valley of the Sun, who would have an All-Star season his first year in Phoenix.  The Suns' regular seasons successes were carried on through the playoffs, sweeping Denver in the first round and defeating Golden State four games to one in the Western Conference Semifinals.  The Suns saw their playoff fortunes reverse in the Conference Finals when they met the season's MVP Magic Johnson and the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, getting swept four games to zero.

With a regular season record of 42–40, the Suns had finished third in the Pacific division standings and improved upon last season's win total by 10 games.  The ensuing playoff run took plenty by surprise, including a seven-game series win against the Western Conference's top seed Golden State Warriors, a team that had finished 17 games ahead of the Suns in the divisional standings.  The franchise's first Finals appearance pitted them against a 12-time champion in the Boston Celtics, whose roster featured three players from that season's All-Star Game.  The 1976 NBA Finals would feature a memorable Game 5 triple-overtime thriller filled with controversies in which the Suns narrowly lost.  Returning home for Game 6, the demoralized Suns would lose Game 6 and the series but not before endearing a generation of fans to the Suns franchise and showcasing a basketball from the desert southwest.  The team's "Cinderella" season earned them the nickname Sunderella Suns.  John MacLeod was head coach and the Suns played their home games at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
