I lost my cat few days ago but this is way more important. Gotta put up posters for “ lost Booker balls” hope they find it along with my pussy cat.

Mike Conley is nice man, wish the Suns had him. He makes the right plays everytime.

Maybe he can check with Kendall?

On a team with Kevin Durant, Brad Beal and Devin Booker, the best play Suns offense can generate is a Nurkic post up from top of the key to end the half…

Up 1 at half. I'll take it. Sure, KAT might be well rested for the 2nd half, however he might also be ice cold. Additionally, he still has 3 fouls.
.
Book, KD are -7, -6 despite being the scoring leaders for the Suns. Royce hasn't take a shot. Beal is 3-9, but is +5, EG with only 8 minutes and is +9 (7 points).

Don't you mean a pass to the opposing team?

With Ant and Kat nowhere to be seen.

The rest of their team is all over the place, deflecting shots, loose rebounds, put backs, hitting threes.

Your warning level:
[2]

I miraculously got it down from 4 to 2. Thank you BW, Q, Lilfishi.

At least EG is making shots and Beal is aggressive.

Could say the same about the Suns and Booker. Up 1 and Book hasn't been a positive impact

Then question becomes: Will Edwards get hot or will Booker go cold?

Now you see why the media ignore Booker.

Clearly they know he has no heart.

I'm pretty much sure Vogel has zero control over this team. Nurkic is shooting a three pointer, forcing weird post up shots at the end of a quarter and Vogel is out there probably clapping and saying "Good job dude!". There are so many positions where the ball handler just waste some time and chuck a force three. Same stuff we saw in regular season over and over again. They were in foul trouble and were in bonus i think last 5 minute of the 2nd quarter but literally there was zero attempt to take an advantage of this. Wolves are the best matchup and they are playing horrible at this game but I've never watched a more frustrating Suns team. They had a whole season to fix stuff and come up with some solutions for this team weaknesses but this is what we have. I'm speechless.

suns were up 51-46 and went scoreless last 02:30.
this is both bad coaching and bad decision making from the players.
just like they lost last game with 7 mins without a fg in the 3rd.
this is not unlucky, it is a habbit and a pattern

What you just described was happening in the first game of the season. Everyone on this board has been pointing this out and the entire coaching staff should be **** canned in the offseason.

Not a single coherent play and zero accountability. No system in place and just pure ugly basketball.

God Barkley is so annoying. He's slowly working his way to Reggie Miller levels as far as TV basketball ppl
