Pretend the season hasn’t started yet and I gave you this little Phoenix Suns nugget of information:
“The Suns are 11-19, riding a seven-game losing streak, and they are about to go on the road to play the Golden State Warriors.”
With your preseason state of mind, this news is probably is frustrating, but ultimately not surprising.
Now, the follow-up sentence:
“And the Phoenix Suns are favored to win.”
Wait, what?
The Suns are on a seven-game losing streak and they are about to go on the road to face the freaking Golden State Warriors and are favored to win?
