Devin Booker wants to finish out his fourth Phoenix Suns season the right way, which clearly to him means winning as many basketball games as possible.
You can’t blame him. He’s sick of the losing. Especially, the intentional kind that settles into your bones and seeps out of your pores from doing it over and over again. It’s almost like you don’t know any other way, so when March rolls around it’s time to shut down seasons for players who, if the games actually mattered, could otherwise gut it out and play.
Unfortunately, either nature or nurture is making this the fifth year in a row the Phoenix Suns are poised to close out the post-All-Star portion of the schedule with a whimper in hopes of accumulating or at least protecting their ping pong balls.
