What happened

The Suns lost twice, 125-114 at Oklahoma City and 127-120 to Denver, sliding to 1-3. The Thunder loss was the turning point, pushing misery to 96 and prompting "See y'all in a decade." By the Nuggets game, complaints had moved from effort to ability, with fans suspecting their star "can't anymore" and ruling Green "not an NBA player on a serious team." The bleakest line: "My favorite player doesn't care about basketball anymore. I don't think I do either." Four games in, apathy is outpacing the losses.
