We could sit here and talk through previous early-season struggles from teams that went on to be just fine. That would be a waste of energy, as we all know what happened the season the Suns started 8-8. There are several examples over the years of teams that were able to recover from slow starts.
Every season and every team is ultimately different. The turnover from this Suns team is massive, as the only returners are Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Josh Okogie, and the Lees.
The health situation and the 4th quarter meltdowns have fans on the brink of jumping off the ledge with this completely disappointing and avoidable 4-6 start.
