There is a thing that happens when a team like the Phoenix Suns, who had no expectations coming into the season, comes out of the gate strong: you start expecting more.
With the opening game thrashing they put on the Kings, losing by only a point in OT to a strong Denver team, then beating the odds-on favorites to win the title—and I can’t believe I’m writing this—the Clippers, Suns fans started to believe this was the year.
Then reality set in.
With a recent five-game losing skid, followed by a couple of impressive wins over the Kings and Trail Blazers, followed by a thrashing from the Lakers, followed by a solid win over the Knicks, followed by two bad losses to the Grizzlies and the Kings, the Suns have had an inconsistent go at consistency.
