That 3 should end any kind of run.

Spoke too soon. Making some stops would be nice.

Yet another 4th quarter collapse…we might survive this one…I think…hope

Amazing how the team is complete trash soon as Booker sits on the bench even with KD and Beal on the court.

17,13 & on our way towards 15 points in 4th tonight? Just ugly basketball this team is very indecisive in final quarter I have no idea how it will change.

Nurkic leading the way with poor play. If your thumb isn't healed, you shouldn't play.

We’ll definitely survive this game won’t get under 12 points but it’s frustrating having a 30 point lead and blowing it.

The team is too scared to drive because when they drive, they get a bit of contact and just assume a foul should be called. Need to go up strong IMO.

Yet another fourth quarter where the opponent isn't called for any fouls. Wow.

Good win. Good questions guys. Good night

I'm so tired of watching this team try and milk the clock the entire 4th quarter every game. It's not hard. Run, run, run. Attack basket and kick out if there's nothing there. Maybe someone can actually try cutting at some point.

Wow. Eubanks and Okogie played very key roles. Nice win.

Booker and Durant having to play 41 mins in a game the Suns led by 27 in the 3rd qtr is such a fail.

Literally just asking for trouble in terms of injuries.

Insane to milk the clock with that amount of time left. All the fire, movement, rhythm and go-go-go from the first 3 quarters just disappears the moment the 4th quarter begins and we start playing like a YMCA team trying to hold a 2pt lead against an NBA team.

Absolutely bizarre. I've never seen a VETERAN team do this so consistently

Exactly. I know this team has its 4th quarter troubles but the guys are bascially getting bullied out there and no fouls called by the refs :noway:

Nice win tonight! Not at all because we were dominant, But the energy was better and we closed out the game with a clear bit of luck in facing a Miami heat team that's also really struggling in a funk currently and definitely had an off night offensively. Good win, but still much work to do and legit things to address!

Post #97 » by **lilfishi22** » Tue Jan 30, 2024 3:07 am

Book, Beal and KD all had 7 dimes a piece. Pretty cool to see

Post #98 » by **Qwigglez** » Tue Jan 30, 2024 3:07 am

A win is a win. Suns put themselves in a position to get outscored in the 4th by 13 points and still get a win. I'll take it. Got 3 more games on this road trip against the Nets, Hawks, and Wizards. Then back at home for the Bucks and Jazz. All of these games should be winnable.

Exactly. As soon as the 4th quarter, we start playing like it’s the last 2 mins of the game with the big 3 trying to take advantage of their 1 on 1 matchup.

So if this is the way the officiating is going to be, then we again need to add physical, tough, smashmouth players that'll aggressively give it back to the opposing players. A message has to be sent that IF the refs won't do their job and hold the players accountable for playing overtly physical, then we have enforcers that will!! Honestly, all the best championship teams had some kind of tough, physical defenders/ enforcers that don't allow other teams to just bully their teammates. We need players that'll send a clear message that if opposing teams are "gonna try to act hard they'll pull their card" :lift:
