Social Media Reacts to Suns' Losing Streak

The Phoenix Suns have lost five games in a row. Needless to say, the team has received some slander on social media.

After Friday night's loss to the Miami Heat, the Phoenix Suns continue their slide. 

Phoenix is currently on their second five-game losing streak since December. They've now lost their last eight-of nine games and are 5-14 dating back to Dec. 1. 

James Jones, general manager of the Suns, has been criticized for not making a move to add more help to the current roster that is missing two starters due to injury with Jae Crowder still occupying a spot.

Suns coach Monty Williams also has gotten some heat for how he's managed his lineups during this stretch. Phoenix has lost their last eight-of-nine games.

How have we fallen so far so quickly?

Devin Booker remains out, and now people are seeing clear as day just how vital he is to the Suns' success. 

The Phoenix Suns had a 116.7 Offensive Rating in games Devin Booker played this season*, that would rank 3rd best in the NBA

Devin Booker better hurry up and get back and I mean ASAP!!! The way the Suns look without him right they’re going to find themselves in the Lottery. Carry the hell on…

I did the math and if the Suns keep losing at this rate without Devin Booker they would have a lower win percentage than OKC when Booker is back and could be the 13th seed with a record of 21-28.
