The Phoenix Suns' Emirates NBA Cup quarter-final hammering at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder was a chastising experience, but it has not dampened the mood in The Valley.
What else did you expect going up against a now 24-1 outfit without Devin Booker and Jalen Green? Their ace in the hole in Collin Gillespie was also given a rude awakening by the Thunders' defense.
Suns need to sit this trade deadline out.
But what has also become apparent despite suffering the worst loss in franchise history (we were as surprised as you on that one) is that the franchise needs to stay the course with the roster they have.
