We are giving up way too much offensive boards! GS just wants the win more than us.

Games like these are why hanging onto Jalen Smith doesn't make sense. If we can find a way to nab Craig, for games like this, we have to do it. Use your assets and improve the team depth.

I don't think the Suns want this bad enough, to be honest. Curry isn't unstoppable but if they put a subpar defender on him, he'll burn you nearly every time. The last thing we need is for him to heat up... and he looks like he's warming up.

This small ball stuff isn't working for us. If Ayton is having success against their bigs, we need to exploit it. Williams is terrible at switching things up when we need it. Will he once again wait until it's too late?

Even with the McGee addition, this type of stuff still haunts the Suns for big games.

The scary thing is, they are only going to get a **** ton better when Klay gets back. They have the best depth in the league and it's going to improve

Yeah this is a choke, Suns players are all nervous as hell.

This is gonna be real embarrassing. This loss is like the equivalent of like 10 losses imo. On Christmas day on national tv at home against a depleted Warriors team.

Yuck.

Is Curry hurt or is this just bad coaching by Kerr?

If Curry was just getting a rest, hopefully that time off the court threw off his rhythm

We're still a very good team. But if we lose tonight, it'll be because of the very same issues that we've ignored addressing since the start of the season:

1- Not addressing our rebounding issues at all.

2- Our 3 pt / perimeter defense is pretty bad. Giving up.too many wide open shots, Also lousy defensive rotations.

On top of that. We've for whatever reason, decided to play small against them and go away from our size advantage that actually helped us to win the one game in the series against them. Also trying to get in a fast paced shooting game with them ( Especially with Curry) is a gross miscalculation on our part.

It boggles my mind that Monty can't figure out that our size advantage is wherein we should focus to get higher percentage open shots. But we should've been trying to punish them inside instead of trying to out shoot them!!! :nonono:

He was heating up too in the 3rd quarter while Crowder has ice cold.

Think that's game guys. Not the worst thing to be back under the radar for a while I guess.
