This Suns' team can't defend at all.

Had a feeling we'd find a way to blow this game. Vogel is the pen and the players the words to our story of pain. Ishbia is the horror author, sitting in the shadows with no regard for how the story plays out.

Didn’t Thad Young actually play well when he was given mins recently? How the hell is Eubanks still ahead of him in the rotation? What the f**k man.

Incredible. I can't believe that Vogel didn't even try to adjust to the Pelicans. Valanciunas played less than 4 minutes in the game. LESS THAN 4 MINUTES.

And we played all **** game with Nurkic or Eubanks on the court. The game was lost for that reason. Period.

Was listening to this one… don’t think I heard KD mentioned but once in the 4th. The Grim Sleeper showed up tonight.

This one was a mojo stopper.

Inexcusable loss. Should have locked up the 6th spot, instead we'll have to beat the clippers now twice to even hold on to it.

Vogel's favorite player in the entire league is Eubanks. He believes in him and loves him over everything.

Why is everyone being so hard on KD he’s not going to play great every single game. This game was lost like Saberaster stated Vogul not substituting Eubanks and running small ball like Pels ran it. Vogul gets a huge “L” for not game planning the right way.

I know everyone wants to focus on Vogel adjusting and going small. I don’t think he should have. Suns lost this game because Book was not aggressive enough when we needed him to be, also shot 0-6 from three, KD was off, Grayson was terrible on BOTH ends (he is why we lost actually). The only adjustment Vogel should have done is more Royce for Grayson.

This is Monty Williams and Landry Shamet all over again. Pathetic.

A Clippers loss would put them at 49-28
A Mavs loss would put them at 47-31
A Suns win would put them at 47-31

We play the Clippers back to back, which could tie the Suns and Clippers record at 49-31. Suns would have a tied series with the Clippers since we lost the previous two games to the Clippers. First game Suns lost by 7 (without KD), 2nd game Suns got smashed by 27. So I'm unsure how the tiebreaker would work.

Just putting it out there.



It's my fault guys. This post is the reason we lost... and that the Clippers won... despite being down 21 at half... and that the Mavs won in OT against the Rockets.

what's up with the unconditional love for the trash players with these coaches?

Grayson missing a few wide open 3s in the 4th doesn't help. KD missed a few shots in the 4th too. It happens. Eubanks definitely shouldn't have been in during the 4th quarter though.
