It's game 2 of a 1-1 season :waaa:


The writing on the wall my friend. Let’s trade Booker and KD for 3-4 picks and start fresh. Lol

Getting punked by the Lakers is the most annoying thing ever. They're a mediocre team and we are far more talented. Just lazy, stupid, half-assed basketball.

Booker has been terrible too. Durant doesn't care on defense half the time, especially on transition defense and that rubs off on the rest of the team.

Beal actually played really well with the subs in the first half, but now has lost his rhythm

Struggling to find positives other than the fact we're just close enough that Bronny isn't in the game yet.

Damn I hate the Lakers

3 of the best pure scorers in the last decade on the same team and we can't make shots in the 4th quarter.

Literally no ball movement and no hustle or aggression on defense. The Lakers stole our mojo and are beating the hell out of us with it.

No point in watching Luka and Mavs blow us out by 30+ tomorrow night. ;(

We were very close. Booker drifted into trafic and that was the end. At that moment I already realized that it was not enough. A tougher leader is needed.

This team has no chance unless Booker plays like a top 10 player in the league. He needs to start showing up

I should’ve done DoorDash after first quarter, but like an idiot assumed we’d kick Lakers butt all game long. No worries I don’t mind missing tomorrow’s game. I’m getting too old watching a full suns game with no identity whatsoever!

And to think we could have had Hachimura for next to nothing had Jones picked up the phone.

Only if we can find a sucker for Durant or Beal. I don't see that happening.

Tough leaders aren’t growing on trees daily. Besides Lebron, CP3, Butler, Luka, Giannis, Embiid, Shai how many tough leaders are in the league?

Fun fact: Warriors will have a better record than Phoenix this season.

We could easily be 0-2. Two games in and we don't look any better than last years squad. Maybe we just need more time to gel...
