There is a feeling in the air where it seems our last hopes for the team are the 4B, Bradley Beal and Bol Bol.

I got a feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up (a fee-)
Go out and smash it, like, "Oh my God"
Jump out that sofa, let's kick it, off

Definitely not me.. Nurkic along with Allen has surprised me quite a bit. I love a center who can grab boards and pass used to follow Arvidis Sabonis closely and he was an excellent passing big man. Also, never expected Grayson Allen to shoot lights out and he’s doing just that. We need to find a way to resign both.

Milquetoast Ayton out again. LOL. Wonder if Portland fans are still high on him given what they've experienced thus far?

I don't think I've ever seen this Reath guy miss a shot against the Suns.

Eubanks averages about 2 brain dead outlet passes per game.Piss poor court vision & spatial awareness.

It's unbelievable how boring the offence is. Blazers is out there running a G-League calibre lineup but they move the ball better and faster than the Suns.

Ball handler brings the ball up, pick from a big, shoot.
Ball handler brings the ball up, they double him, lazy pass to the next man, he drives and try to get a foul whistle.
Bleh.

POR just feasting on our pathetically weak and soft perimeter defense.

And, as luck would have it, I looked away and at the general board for a minute. Guess I'll have to wait for SportsCenter.

Bleh.

I was just thinking the same thing.KD seems a bit checked out lately.Book has regressed back to old Book on defense.He doesn't even try anymore.I hate to be so gloomy.I'm really looking for a glimmer of hope with this team.I just don't feel it in my gut.As of right now, they just don't seem hungry enough.

Yeah. Let's just stand there and let them shoot a completely uncontested three.

I don’t think Suns enjoy having bigger leads. So many times we led by double digits this season only to allow open threes. This team doesn’t have the mental edge to lead throughout the game maybe if CP3 came off bench would help us dearly.

We should petition the league to remove 4th quarters. Sheeeeeeesh
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.
