Tuesday night’s 99-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors revealed
a lot of not-so-flattering traits on the face of the
Phoenix Suns.

First of all, the Raptors had lost eight straight games,
mostly due to a sputtering offense that had churned out a
less-than-spectacular 81 points per game during the
stretch.

Secondly, the Raptors never beat the Suns. Well, almost
never. Phoenix had downed Toronto 14 straight times
dating back to to 2004.

And thirdly, and most disappointing, the post-game chatter
coming from Alvin Gentry’s press conference and the Suns’
locker room centered around not giving up, staying
optimistic and having a lack of talent.
