The Suns with five straight losses. Now the question is, can they right the ship.

I don't think they will.

If you can't beat a tanking Bucks team, you can't expect them to beat anyone. I don't know I am probably overreacting since we just lost to the Spurs by a point, but something is very wrong with this team in the 4th Quarter.

It's the mental mindset of the team I worry most about.

Will they surrender to the lethargy of losing and will it carry over, even if players get healthy.

When a team loses so many competitive games, it questions the will power of the team to overcome it.

The thing that actually bothered me most about last night is that we didn't ever have a big lead. That game never should have been close enough in the 4th quarter for us to choke it away.

This is why it's gut check time. The mental toughness of the team is being severely challenged.

We're missing half our roster, man, and Book is playing through an ankle injury. But yes, they need to improve their 4th quarter execution and I am worried that Book may never learn how to handle double teams as he's had a lot of practice. That turnover last night along the baseline was painful.

clippers are 4 games behind us - they play the bucks tomorrow and the raptors after that - clippers have the easiest remaining schedule - if we don't start winning games we're gonna fafo

Royce O'Neale is QUESTIONABLE. Not much relief in sight for this game.

The Suns lead 34-20 after 1st. Let's see what happens tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

I see Royce O'Neale is on the active roster tonight? He might come off the bench but he is listed as OUT.

Suns are up 60-44 near the end of the 2nd quarter. Hopefully no collapse tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maluach gets the ball to go down inside.

Halftime:

Suns 66 - Raptors 48

 

[Mainstreet]

Long term, the losses will be worth it if the Suns develop their bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn has 7 points, Fleming 6, Maluach 7 and Bouyea 5 points.

Goodwin throws the pass out of the endzone.

Now Goodwin kicks the field goal for three. I'm so ready for football.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker perfect pass to Oso for two.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Playing well, but they need to finish.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns lead 77-54 in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Better to take the shot than make a bad pass.
