When Gordon actually tries defensively we do much bette as a team on that end. This last 2 minutes has been way better.

He's too old to be playing defense in random regular season games. He's always been an able defender when he tries.

It's not really his fault. He didn't sign on to play this many minutes, and if Beal wasn't out he wouldn't be.

IF we're at full strength, Gordon for 15 minutes in the playoffs should be fine defensively, he's good when he tries.

Nurkic moves like a guy who'll be out of the league in the next two years.It hurts just looking at him.

If he is in the game he needs to be trying. If he is not capable of trying, we have plenty of bench options who should be getting those minutes. It's an indictment on him and our coaches.

Durant can’t do this sour milk whining pour me and stop playing.

17 turnovers is insane.

That was a long continuation for Clarkson. Booker almost never gets that luxury.

Suns playing lockdown defense on themselves tonight.

Last 3 minutes have been hot garbage for both teams.Looks like a preschool league.

Booker having an absolute stinker of a game tonight, we need him to get his headband out of his ass.

Gotta excuse the Suns. They've had 2 nights in that EXCITING Utah nightlife.

Or he could just ditch it entirely and get back to the dude we know. This guy with the headband isn't the same.

Eric Gordon is a ball stopper. I don't like it. I think I see why Vogel has him starting because he like a lesser version of what we'll have with Beal but man. He needs to be coming off the bench ASAP.

I read 17 for some reason. :lol:

15 now.

This team plays an ugly brand of basketball.

I feel like it's all mental. For some reason they seem to have a hard time getting themselves up for games outside of short spurts. (that sounded dirty)
