Dunn getting schooled by Harden.

Keep your hands up young man.

We move slower than any other team

Dunn and Ighodaro are still rookies, the picks look like an acknowledgement of that though.

Here comes the 4th quarter and the litmus test for whether we're a different team to the one from last season...

Durant and Booker combined 17 pts is the problem

I do like Morris, and Jones as PGs

Can't blow it in the 4th if you didn't have a lead going into it 8-)
SHAZAM!

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

Those Nurk minutes just killed us. His un-cordinated ass can't himself from committing offensive fouls, throw unbalanced passes. And the defense will happily give up the shot to Nurk. This is why he is unplayable in the playoffs.

Plus the turnovers. They need to be better. On the plus side both our picks in a weak draft appear to be legit rotation pieces.

The real question is this: How active will we be at the trade deadline? This team as assembled isn't getting it done and has no cohesion.

Durant turns it over. Refuses t hustle back on D and gives up a 2 on rebound. These are the plays that killed our season last year

A KD iso is a winning play for the defense.

We had such a beautiful offense in that 2nd quarter. I dont understand the isos and drives into traffic. We are 1-6 from 3 in the 2nd half, but if you keep shooting them with confidence you will be better. I think Nurk took 2 of them too, and Dunn and O'Neale each 1. No 3pt attempts from Book or KD in the 2nd half I don't think.

Two of the best assist/turnover PG's in the league are on the Suns this year and it's still raining TO's.

We all know why - because it's trickling down from someone who is supposed to be their 1a or 1b. He refuses to acknowledge who he is at this age.

We fell apart in the second half. Not great. Still time to turn it around.

Our lack of size is killing us on defense.
