Anyone else hoping Devin is fighting off a virus?
I just think our team doesn't take enough advantage of him being double and triple teamed. He tries to force it against them rather than getting the ball quickly to guys that are open as a result of the opponents' aggressiveness against him.

I have no idea if he's sick and haven't heard anything to suggest he is. I was just hoping that's why he was so off these past two games. I know that the flu and such have been making the rounds on college basketball teams so it makes sense the NBA could be dealing with the same problem now. We're probably not going to get this lucky though, it will likely just turn out to be the ups and downs of Devin Booker and something we'll have to live with.

It just occurred to me that Booker's slump has coincided with Allen being out. I wonder if Booker and Allen just have things figured out, and without Allen, Book has to figure out something different.

It looks a lot like fatigue to me. How far can Booker, Brooks and Gillespie carry a team?

Also, the Suns sorely need help upfront beyond Mark Williams.
