The Phoenix Suns lost 140-129 to the Milwaukee Bucks in a tough cross-conference matchup Sunday afternoon. Phoenix received a double-digit performance from Devin Booker , but Kevin Durant had an off game. Moreover, analysts pointed concern to the Suns' subpar team effort after their disappointing loss. Bucks loss further shows Suns flaws Tim Ledgders was disgusted with Phoenix's effort from Saturday's loss. “I can't take this team seriously when I watched a game yesterday in which I saw a group of guys that could not possibly be less interested in playing basketball than they were yesterday,” Ledgers told JJ Reddick on The Old Man & the Three Ledgers pointed out how Phoenix gave up 140 points
The Phoenix Suns are who they are — not an NBA championship contender. Eighth in the West, the Suns would have to beat the Mavericks in Dallas to get the seventh seed if the postseason started today. Devin Booker keeps saying they have things to address as he smiled after Friday's win at Charlotte in saying the Suns (39-29) fix one thing, but then repair something else. Play iso ball, take tough shots and don't get enough easy looks despite having three prolific scorers in Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Booker.
The NBA GOAT discussion is one that has become more and more prevalent due to the continued success of LeBron James. While many folks believe it's a two-horse race between him and Michael Jordan, some players, such as Kevin Durant, believe they should be in the conversation as well. According to Paul Pierce, though, there's one big reason why Durant isn't included in the debate. Nobody is doubting Durant's skills, especially as he continues to play some of the best individual basketball of his career in his age 35 season with the Phoenix Suns.
