Former NFL player and sports analyst Emmanuel Acho didn’t hold back in his critique of the Phoenix Suns' lackluster performance. After witnessing another disappointing showing, Acho shared his fiery assessment of the team’s offensive struggles.
Following their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Acho openly questioned the Suns' offense.

“How much longer are you gon’ let Luka son you? The Suns are an abomination to the game of basketball. How are you an offensive team but you can’t score no points? That’s like being an air conditioner but you can’t cool no room,” Acho shared (via Fox Sports).

Acho also pointed out how the Suns, despite their superstar power, allowed Lakers guard Austin Reaves to be one of the most impactful players on the court.
“In what world can you have Devin Booker on the court, Luka Dončić on the court, Kevin Durant on the court, but Austin Reaves is the second or third-best player on the court?” Acho added.
The Suns' inconsistency has been a recurring issue all season, and this latest defeat only added concerns about whether the team has what it takes to be a legitimate contender.
