Let’s Go!!! Can’t get down 0-3 series this is a must win game. Maybe we can nail down 20+ 3’s like the Heat just did last night versus Celtics?

I said maybe, it’s a long shot, but maybe we can knock down 13-15 3’s and get our first win. As of now we are averaging 8.5 3’s against the best defensive team in the league. 8 3’s a game won’t cut it no wonder Twolves are holding us under 100 in both consecutive games.

Yeah, Beal seems like he is the only guy playing with urgency like he says in that clip "it's time!" We need all 3 of them to play hard on every possession.

Hopefully KD, Book & company hear you as we Suns fans are sick and tired of their losing.

Urgency in five games max regular season + playoffs.

He was probably our best player the last couple of weeks in the regular season. I agree he wasn't aggressive enough early. Though obviously being the new guy to the stars he had to adjust his playing style and learn to play with them, and didn't want to try and do too much. But yeah, he didn't get off to a great start and I'm glad he stepped it up over the last few weeks and seems to be taking the playoffs a lot more seriously than the other two, particularly when you look at both sides of the ball. Hopefully they all play with some urgency tonight...if they can't tonight, they never will.

Agreed with bolded. Otherwise I'd expect more from someone on 50M+ contract.

Yeah, I expect more from all 3 of them. And next year Book's $50+ million per year contract starts.

Exactly. We need them to play like Big 3 rather than Big1.25 based on my evaluation over first two playoff games. Last playoffs KD and Book played like Big3. Not sure what changed. Can't be just Vogel.

Most depressing playoffs ever.

Easyyyy win. We got them right where we want them.

I believe this game will give us a nice gift

Spoiler:

I really don't care about "feeling" that he is playing with urgency, he is not playing well enough in the playoffs.

He is averaging 14.5 points and 6 assists shooting 12/27 from the floor. His efficiency isn't there and he hasn't been a factor on defense.

We need him to play at a higher level, exactly the same that we need from KD and Book.

KD played very well in the first game and that's it. Beal was meh at best and Book was terrible.

And none of them played well in the 2nd game.

[SunsRback4Good]

Nobody on this team can handle the ball no wonder they turn it over 15+ times per game. Watching Booker, KD, Nurkic dribble the ball hurts my eyes. Beal is fine, but 95% of the team fumbles or throws the ball away. Can’t get a nice lead when we continue to hurt ourselves turning the ball over once every 3rd possession. If we limit our TO’s to under 13 tomorrow night we should win.

Grayson Allen QUESTIONABLE.
