The fact is, the Phoenix Suns — supported by Devin Booker and Kevin Durant — can’t get it done against any team in the NBA. Whether it’s a struggling Los Angeles Lakers team on Sunday, missing LeBron James and coming off four straight losses, or a Toronto Raptors team sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference and ready to tank for a better draft position, the result is likely the same.

What is going on in Phoenix? Why have the players cost us an opportunity to witness great basketball? Is it because they are immature and don’t respect each other, whether it be among the players or between them and the coaches? Not sure. But moving forward, ESPN and TNT, can you please do us fans a favor and move our scheduled primetime games off the air until next season?

This is true, but hearing and seeing every broadcast is very annoying.

Tonight, luckily, the Suns will host a team with little promise, leaving us with the home broadcasters—the ones who know we’re already miserable and try to keep it light instead of tearing into this team of rip-offs.

Uniform Matchup

What to Watch For

If you are a fan of the Suns and you have watched them this year, there is a big possibility you will see a lot of this.

A little bit of this.

And probably a Suns team that looks frustrated on the bench during timeouts.

Prediction

I predict the Suns lose by 33.
