I'm beginning to think that not paying the $14.99 per month for the TV package was a smart money move.

This is terrible. I can't believe they didn't show up tonight. Well, I mean, I can. They have been pulling this garbage all year. I guess I can truly and finally believe it. They don't want it, have no leadership, and Booker and Durant clearly don't want to be here. I can't think of any other reason for this complete and total lack of fire.

Someone gets fired for this, right?

I've never seen Durant play this **** bad. Getting him out of the game would be a positive.

I feel like the players heard this and were like... yeah it's all true. Let's show that.

Barkley is right. Who is the leader of this team? It's not Booker. It's not Durant. It's not Beal. I seriously wonder who is the voice in the locker room that gets their attention? I can only just shake my head.

I don't see how anybody can say he is wrong.

Our game plan was obviously to lull them to sleep by letting them go up 36.

I guess the ayahuasca is wearing off.

I do blame the players for the first quarter, but also mostly blame Vogel for letting it get to that point in the first place. A good coach would have pulled players to make a point when it started getting out of hand.

Well I kind of decided to take a break when it was 35-4, thinking maybe this isn't our game. The deficit stayed about the same when I looked at the halftime score of 66-33...then a few minutes later I looked and it was 70-36 or something and I started thinking about the game 7 playoff game vs Dallas. Now I am surprised it's as close as it is, but nice to see they don't give up. Book's stats do kind of look like one of his elimination games.

This team is so weird. Playing a team without Kawhi and Harden? This is like the OKC game again. Would obviously be a great win if we can make the comeback...but knowing they were missing 2 of their big 3..but not necessarily super impressive.

I can't stand Paul George.

Wow, Powell gave Beal a good knee in the gonads there.

Coming back from 37 down in the NBA would be impressive regardless of who is or isn't playing. I dunno if it's ever been done. It's close to that number I think.

Durant having the worst game of his career and somehow still has the most points in the game.

Real deal Beal is looking pretty good. What's that 8 pts in a row. Can't believe he has 4 blocks either.

Yeah, it's impressive to make the comeback but I definitely wouldn't say the Suns had a really impressive win tonight if we get out of this one.

I guess they decide to triple Beal in there now. Bad miss by Allen.

Not a great game for Grayson to forget how to shoot. But can't be mad at him since he has been lights out all season. If only he was shooting league average this game it would be tied probably.

Suns finally playing with effort but probably too little too late to ultimately overcome such a huge deficit

I mean I absolutely would considering the dung heap they handicapped themselves under to start the game off.
