The Phoenix Suns are young and were expected to lose a lot this season – as much as we want them to win. But they were also supposed to be better than in years past, and on paper, there is no doubt that the 2018-19 incarnation is better than they have been since 2013-14.
Yet, although they won their opening night game to the Dallas Mavericks in a manner that appeared to be a sign of positive things to come, they have failed to show any of that same improvement over their following six games.
Six games, six straight losses, and almost every one of them they played just as poorly as the majority of games last season when Ryan McDonough intentionally had them blown out, and giving fans very little hope for the future.
