Seriously where the F is BOL. Only 12 mins? Went 100% (4-4) from FG with 2 threes.

ish is back so no need to ply the players who deserve minutes where is young?
why did we sign him?

[Stix]

Whats with the D'Antoni rotation? Vogel really only played 6 guys.

he is preparing for the play in, when luka is gonna give us a 50 point home loss again.

[grumpysaddle]

Was trying to catch up to live after watching the SDSU game, but I fast forwarded once we went down like 20. Celtics get away with absolute murder on both sides of the court. They push off on offense every drive, they reach and foul for steals, didn't help that they couldn't miss a goddamn 3 if they tried. That game was infuriating to watch.

Even if we somehow manage to get past DEN to the finals, which I am not confident, no way in hell we are beating the Celtics in a 7 game series, I've seen enough sample size at this point. All you can do is run it out again next year with the mantra "it takes super teams usually two years to gel."

[KLEON]

I know ppl are going come here and blame Vogel, the big 3 and Jones as always when we lose but if u clowns can't see the refs F'd this game up from the tip off u all need a piss test. This had the potential to be a great game and the refs messed it up with all these mitch calls like the Celtics needed help to win. I'm just sick and tired of the refs influencing the outcome of these games year in year out. BTW Gobert is a 1000% correct

Royce O’ Neale can’t hit the broadside of a 20,000 seat arena.

I'll admit up front that I didn't watch this game.

There are more and more of those these days. I think it's justified. The outcome is pretty obvious. The Suns used to be appointment viewing for my family, but haven't been for some time.

If it's the journey you're after, you're getting it, haha. I think all of us were sold some BS on this group from the time the KD trade was made. Then again, after the past 2 years' playoff experience, I think it was clear that team wasn't getting back to the 2021 level.

Clearly, barring catastrophic collapses by every other playoff team, this team is not only not good enough to measure up, they haven't meaningfully improved in the areas that would even give them a real chance.

It's why the C's are the clear favourite against the rest of the NBA. I don't think any team has a great chance against them

I think a lot of fans have already resigned themselves to this that the Suns aren't good enough this season.

The scary part is this is probably as good as we will be given our lack of bench and the advancing age of KD plus our luxury tax situation we are probably going to have to go bargain hunting again even if we manage to resign Grayson and Royce.

The only glimmer of hope is if we draft a steal in the next draft and he turns out to be a Haliburton or Maxey type of player.

Ive been tuning out most games the past couple of weeks. This is the least Ive been interested in a Suns team since Nash left. Hearing the announcers talk about the "Big 3" is a yawn. I just can't with these players, coaches and front office. So tired of what if's year after year.

[sunsbg]

DEN and BOS if healthy are the only contenders really. Nothing new learned after this game.

Don’t worry. Miami will beat Boston again. And we will beat Denver.

[Iceman36]

Frustration game this time. We controlled nearly every aspect of the game, but Boston hit more threes than twos in this game!!! Some were insane and well defended. But the bigger part was Cˋs beeing allowed to play extremely physical on defense AND offence, were not!

[lilfishi22]

Simple fact is it's hard to beat a Celtics team on most night, let alone a night where they shoot 50% from 3 on FIFTY attempts with pretty iffy no calls all game. Celtics look every bit a true contender as they come while we don't. It's what it is

Who here bothered about this loss as much as they of the complete lackluster defense giving WIDE OPEN 3s to a Celtics team that’s one of the best 3pt shooting teams in the league?

I don’t think a single soul except for maybe Sabestar came into this game expecting the Suns to win. But the effort was piss poor all around.
