Just go for 64 Booker. It's all we have.

Booker has to carry the load while KD watches. I’m tired of Suns always getting over the hill all-stars/superstar. Hill, Shaq, KD, Barkley was in his 30’s, there are more. F****** this team never will win a title. Watch Nuggets win one before us lol

What a frustrating franchise I might finally after two decades be done with this team. Always letting down the fans. Had a great contending team two years ago all needed was minor changes yet traded all team for an aging star with injuries. This is beyond Sarver, Colangelo, Ishbia.. the entire organization is a failure that have no idea how to properly run a franchise.

These bench/role players are addicted to horrible mental lapses and judgement. I almost don't want to see one single guy back.

No one moves offball on this team anymore. Its UNBELIEVABLE


If KD is washed we just arguably blew up the best team in Suns history (and a young one at that), to destroy our future for awhile. Bridges and Cam hurt enough..hopefully the picks are not that good, but who knows.

So lets hope that isn't the case, and he turns it around quickly.

Only one foul against Denver despite how physically they are playing. Not even advocating more fouls on them, just give us the same lienancy

Apparently everyone on the Nuggets can hit shots and the Suns players can’t even catch the ball.

You guys are being dumb.

Durant isn't cooked. He was an MVP candidate like in January. He might've had his best year this year and most efficient. Give him time

It was a surprise he got that amount of money at the time. I thought he'd get like 3/$13-$15 maybe...seems like we were bidding against ourselves.

I hope so but this is the time for the stars to shine. Booker is playing his best ball now.

Hopefully KD isn't pulling a Chris Paul and this year around game 2 of our semifinal series his game suddenly falls off the cliff for good. I don't really believe that but it would be pretty awful, considering.

They were both playing elite basketball prior to that..like both in MVP race at times in the season before they got injured during the season.

KD has had a few poor shooting games, but I don't remember 2 in a row. It's like him and Book's shooting consistency kind of swapped at some point.

KD can absolutely be passively aggressive. I won't suggest to ask him to do anything outside of what he not comfortable doing. That's when it gets very ugly.

It's amazing our team has 24 shots and Ayton has 0. His FG% is better than anyone this series. Even if people don't like that he settles for midrange floaters, he still is shooting close to 70%.

Because he's a Monty Williams guy. That's all it took for Jones to be convinced and not even blink when trading away Carter and a FRP to acquire him. He got that new money before he'd even put on the jersey.

Despicable, right? I wish I could be so patently mediocre at my job and get a significant raise.
