Offense looking very similar to last year where the stars take turns attacking the offense. All while Tyus Jones is standing in the corner never touching the ball.

Durant is the king of stepping on the line out of bounds.

Same problems still hanging around: Turnovers, iso ball, and mental mistakes. Now Harden is coming on and if he really gets it together, this game is over.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

So far this game they have managed to turn him into an off-ball chucker.

This is NOT what I thought they'd be using him for.

Maybe let our PG handle the ball?

To be the king he has to keep doing it right?

KD and Book should not be bringing the ball up the court when we have Tyus and Morris as ball handlers.

At least we shoot 3s now. That alone is a giant improvement

Suns have no MVP.

Durant is too old and Booker and Beal are not good enough. Neither one is going to "take over/stop the bleeding" against a decent team.

Well, we were in the 1st half....I guess Royce just shot one and Nurkic tried a couple. We've shot 4 in the 2nd half and made none. After going 10-23 in the first half.

Is it though? I suppose those made baskets are the only reason we're even in this game seeing we'd be getting slaughtered without them. I don't know where all our mid range jumpers went, but we need something other than what we're getting right now... which is close to nothing.

Westbrook even played great against us.


We would be down by 30+

Bad defense, bad rebounding, Big three doing nuthin.

Return to Phoenix Suns
