If my memory is right, in every loss the Suns had, they had a lead sometime in the game. But in the end, the lead gets erased and they end up losing a embarassing loss. I think even in their wins, the other team nearly erased or completely erased the Suns lead as well. Like the game against the Grizzlies, they let them catch up in the 4th quarter, but the Suns held their game. The 76ers game, the 76ers caught up, but thankfully, the Suns came back to win. But today, against the Jazz, they lost by 3. THEY HAD A COMFORTABLE LEAD IN THE 4TH, BUT THEY LOST IT AND THEY WENT INTO OVERTIME. THERE, THEY WERE DEFEATED. It's dumb and the Suns need to figure something out.

The Suns play a run-n-gun style of basketball, and use a high-octane offense that revolves around rapid movement. Basically, they run. a LOT. They use long rebounds and run run run, and don't play much defense. Throughout the game, they hide their defensive lapses with huge amounts of points, but with their lack of a go-to scorer inside, with Amare still less than 100%, they are all tired by the 4th quarter, and can't match points with the other teams, which is why they give up leads all at the end of games. I assume this will fix itself when Amare if back to his old self, or as close as he will be, and he is fully integrated into the Suns system again, with all the other guards finding a rhythm with him in the offense.

I don't think it's really the Suns. This season, more teams are playing the uptempo style and have adjusted. Also, I think last season the Suns surprised a lot of teams playing so fast with lots easy baskets and that element of surprise is gone.
Last year in close games, Steve Nash slowed the game down and made good decisions and he's been hurt this year.
This year, it looks like in close games they're not sure who they want to go to, especially since Stoudamire is back.

Its easily Shaq!! anybody idea he replaced into what the cavs needed to get to the subsequent element. you comprehend the way human beings say that kobe couldn't win without shaq? properly its absolutely thoroughly opposite. Shaq desires a kobe and wade to win. Thats why it did not paintings for the suns and it wont for the cavs. Shaq desires a guard to guard the fringe and enable him dominate down low..... Lebron isn't a guard. he's a ahead. Lebron's sport is using to the basket and meting out to others or basically taking it himself. yet now there is shaq clogging up the lane that lebron desires open to force in. So in reality shaq is ruining the crew. they don't look to be playing cav basketball, that's operating up and down the courtroom. basically look on the suns now that shaq is lengthy gone? Sorry cav followers yet i'm happy that is taking position because i ought to get soo pissed at the same time as human beings say kobe can't win without shaq. at the same time as its absolutely any incorrect way round. Shaq purely received because he had a guard like wade. Lebron has a thoroughly diverse type. the actuality is out!!! shaq sucks!!

Ya they skrewed up early in the season but it's still early yet, they jus need more time to tighten the skrews, oil the knees, and get their ishhh together, in the mean time if youre a fan then be a lil more optomistic about yer team, if you dont like the suns, then who cares what happens with the suns.

yes! They've had double digit leads but keep blowing games. I really like suns even though I'm a bulls fan. Bulls first suns second that's cuz i live in chicago. The question u asked also goes for the bulls.

Well that's what happens when you don't play defense. And their uptempo style of play leaves them tired at the end of games, like last year they couldn't win any overtime games

they can't play a halfcourt game and when you want to finish games out you have to play a half court game to kill the clock and since they're not good at doing that that's why they're losing the way they are

I don't know maybe because Nash cut his hair... I wish they'd get it together! And start competing all four quarters.
