It’s crazy how fast things have started to turn around for the Phoenix Suns. Earlier this season, I wrote about how they had the league’s worst culture. Little did I know it would get worse.
After I wrote that, the team had multiple blowups on the same night: an on-court argument between coach Igor Kokoskov and Mikal Bridges, and a locker room argument between Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.
It’s not that arguing is necessarily a bad thing, but when combined with a huge losing streak when they often struggled to bring quality effort, it was looking bad for the Suns.
