PHOENIX — As if the season couldn’t get any worse for the Phoenix Suns through injuries and outright disappointing losses, getting Devin Booker back but losing Bradley Beal in the first quarter of a brutal 117-112 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies may be the lowest point.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Suns now drop to 15-17 on the season and sit at the No. 11 seed, one game behind the 16-16 Golden State Warriors. And fans are having their say on what is turning into a disappointing season.
Here are some of the fans’ reactions to Tuesday’s loss to the Grizzlies:
At this point, it’s less tragic and more sitcom absurdity. Injuries aren’t their fault. But the timing, the consistency, the sheer predictability of it all? It’s Shakespearean in its cruelty, except nobody’s laughing.
Well, maybe we are, because if you don’t laugh, you cry. https://t.co/8MGrjZGpWq

The count is now at just 1 of the last 23 games in which Beal-Booker-Durant have all played for the Suns and not picked up an injury.
That run of games is about to get longer. https://t.co/uYeTlgVfHT

My finger is hovering over the BLOW IT UP button for the Phoenix Suns. I'm not pressing it yet. But I'm close. Real close.

No real point calling this the worst loss of the season as every game the Suns play at this point feels like the worst loss of the season
Now lost 16 of their last 23 games

Pretty clear that this roster needs a major retool. This big 3 is a failed attempt at making a dynasty. Book is the only one who should be safe and even he's struggling this season…

Are the Suns still planning on waiting until mid-January to make a move or…
Even if they made a big move TONIGHT, I’m not sure it’s enough to save this season.
They’ll be dead by mid-January at this rate.

Trade KD man. Suns won’t win anything as currently constructed and he’s too good to be on a mid team. He deserves a chance to get another ring

A disgusting end to that game to put an end to a disgusting year of Suns Basketball.
When you think it can’t get any worse… it just keeps getting worse.

It's a shame this Suns team hasn't stayed healthy. I know there's been a lot of criticism on this team but it's very unfortunate it has not been healthy. Can't control it.

We’re leaving the Phoenix Suns in 2024
