I'm tired of supporting this garbage. Don't care about the record with KD. We play like **** morons every time. Losing to the Nets and the Pelicans in the same 2 weeks span is ABSURD with the talent on this team

We brought Tyus in so Booker and Beal don’t have to playmake and turn it over and yet tonight Beal has 6 turnovers and Booker with 3.

This team, despite all of the change, remains insanely immature. You simply cannot count on them to play smart. Not ever. Absolute idiots

Figures we get the Pelicans for the first time when they are healthy for the most part and we are missing KD. We have generally played well outside of Beal's turnovers and Booker only shooting 6-18.

But Herb Jones is everywhere.

I am watching the Pelicans feed and they showed a graphic that they are 48-32 and over +10 per game with Herb Jones in the lineup and 5-19 and over -4 per game without him.

That's incredible for a 3&D player.

They just got so hot in the 3rd quarter...45 pts.

Don't even try with this bull. That is a garbage team that we gifted an entire quarter of wide open 3s by running an obscure trap while our stars half assed it on D. Turnovers galore on our end, while being so dumb we cannot even intentionally foul properly.

This is a dumb loss by a dumb team that only seems to focus or care if KD is playing. **** hideous basketball by a stupid team

What another embarrassing ass loss. I’m more pissed I couldn’t make money off this game.

I don't understand it...Booker has been right under the rim like 3 times tonight and passed it out. Now luckily at least once, maybe even twice, it resulted in a 3, but on that one, finish it! Maybe get a foul. The pass was off too. Damn. It's so weird he would keep giving up those. In general I like unselfishness, but not when you are there....having flashbacks of that Bender clip.

We are a dumb team. We play dumb basketball. Smarter than last year, which was the dumbest team in NBA history, but still amongst the worst in the league.

Other teams' questionables always play while Suns probables never. Suns are simply not a better team than most teams when KD is not playing. Still a close loss away.

This is going to end up as a winnable loss that showcased just how poor our team construction is and how we have no means to improve it.

I thought overall aside from our turnovers, we played well, but they played very well. We are missing KD, Dunn and Nurkic. We also shouldn't have left it up for Okogie to shoot those 3s when they did. Others could have taken shots earlier in the possession.

They have a horrible record because of all their injuries, but they recently got Murray back. He's missed 17 games, Herb Jones 18 games, CJ and Murphy both 13 games, Ingram 6 games. That's a lot of guys playing tonight that missed 55-80% of their games

A lineup with Murray, CJ, Jones, Ingram, Herb Jones, etc, is FAR from a bad team when healthy.

Had an opportunity with an ATO play but we fumbled it. Not our best moment

I’ve been saying and thinking the same thing as you. They just don’t have an identity ever since trading our entire team for KD & Booker. They don’t play smart and seem immature like you stated above. I barely watch them now and my sanity is fine because of it. Losing to teams like Pels & Nets is embarrassing, but that’s Phoenix basketball in a nutshell.

We gave up 130 points to the **** Pelicans. What part about our half assed defense that let Ingram and Murphy get wide open 3s the entire 3rd quarter, was "played very well" to you?

Booker should have been the decoy. Bud is stupid in drawing that up because they knew it was going to him. Why not someone else for the win or tie?

Stupid play call and even stupider attempt.

Same pathetic team as last season. Lost to the worst las year, Spurs. Now losing again to the worst.

Without KD, borderline play in like before CP3. With KD, first round sweep again.

Down 2 with the better team, anybody with a high IQ would be trying to extend the game knowing we have the advantage in overtime. Instead, we pass it to Book with no outlet available so he can chuck a 3, the other team knows as soon as Book gets it where he got it that he must shoot and doubles, and then Book flails, turns it over (AGAIN) and shows up the refs.

This team is flaming hot garbage and full of **** idiots. It would be nice for us to bother 1. Playing hard consisently on defense, including our stars, 2. Not pouting for calls half the game, and 3. Looking where we are passing the god damned ball.

Our stars are failing us the same way they did last year. Tons of dumb turnovers that aren't forced. Just a dumb,immature team of whiny babies.

Return to Phoenix Suns
