After lopsided losses to Dallas and Boston, things won't get easier for the Phoenix Suns on the road against the Pelicans.
That’s the only message we can take from the recent skid that has seen Phoenix drop three of its last four games with losses to Houston, Dallas and Boston.
If this Phoenix losing streak lasts much longer, it could prompt even the supernaturally patient James Jones to make a move with the trade deadline only about eight weeks away., but excusable. Phoenix got caught slipping by a bunch of underachieving youngsters who for once played up to their potential to snag a one-point win. It was like watching the Suns play themselves from five years ago.
Booker had plenty to play for. Luka Doncic’s name has been tossed around in MVP conversations despite the reality that the Mavericks lose as many games as they win. Booker, meanwhile, the leader of one of the best teams in the league, doesn’t get the same love from NBA media.It’s that at this stage he shouldn't be getting snubbed. He’s a three-time All-Star and was first-team All-NBA last year. He’s been to the Finals and has a Kobe tattoo.
Well, he had a three-game stretch where he averaged 45 points per game. Then he gave the Spurs 20 points in about 28 minutes.The problem against Dallas was that everything’s bigger in Texas, starting with NBA players. The Mavericks seemed bigger than the Suns at every position. The Mavericks have five guys who are 6-10 or bigger, including former Sun JaVale McGee, who didn’t even play.
