Lately, most nights have ended the same way. Frustrated, deflated, watching the Phoenix Suns unravel in increasingly inventive ways. Their losses have become an art form of disappointment, a gallery of missed opportunities and head-shaking moments. And facing the Boston Celtics? This night was no different.
But strangely, I wasn’t angry. Maybe it’s me. Maybe expectations have gotten so low that losing by an average of 22.8 points per game over the last five games is the new normal. Maybe I’m numb to it all.
The Suns have been outscored by 114 points during their five-game losing streak.
