Did you also bet Suns -4 ML for $200?


I had the Suns in a five team parlay, I just needed them to win. Looked promising the first 3 minutes of the game. Sucks.


Damn! You should’ve known that Phoenix already beat them twice but third time is difficult with no KD and losing Bridges/CamJ doesn’t help. Oh, well.. us degenerates will continue to bet. Lol

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

Terrible coach. No sense of roster management whatsoever.

He stuck with Ish and Craig a little too long both combined 2/12 shooting. But Monty will be Monty so whatever I guess.

I feel like I’m always bringing up officials but how do they allow Sabonis to hit Booker on that drive, then call an offensive foul on Booker. They don’t think there’s a reason Booker is pushing off there?

After enduring Doncic pushing his way to the basket all game, they call that offensive by Booker?

That's a huge swing at a critical moment. The inconsistency by the refs is really ruining the game.

What the hell was that about?
The refs can use their discretion to determine whether any fouls prior to the one they called supercede the called foul and reward teams playing the Suns.

And how the hell does Booker only end up with FOUR free throw attempts? He’s the most aggressive player on the court.

Monty doesn't argue anything though. My number one gripe with the guy. Give me Bobby Hurley type rage and we would get some calls once in awhile

I knew the Kings were going to hit a 3 right after that bullsh*t call on Booker. If that was Lebron or **** Giannis, they're at the line shooting free throws. I hope Booker joins FVV on calling out the awful officiating. Makes the league almost unwatchable.

Lost the game nearing the end of the 1st quarter when the Suns relaxed after going up 10. The refs were trash as always and Monty should've known Bizzy should play in this game vs Sabonis

It's great that refs can look at a replay, see Booker getting fouled, ignore it, and still call an offensive foul on Booker after he's been manhandled. Doesn't matter what seed the Suns finish in, they'll never get homecourt advantage. Never.

Yup, that’s why coaches like Pop, Phil got the best outta his players and knew how to argue when it looks like refs were one sided. Monty is too nice of a coach and his younger sons Ayton & Shamet follow their dads lead.

KD should be back for the playin tournament right. 6th/7th seed won't be the end of the world.

I think Ayton played very well on Sabonis. Don’t think Bizzy would have made much of a difference.

The Suns just couldn’t hit the corner 3. That killed them. Booker kept trusting his teammates. Craig and Ish have to hit those shots.

I’m getting tired of watching Craig. The problem is TJ Warren, Bazley might me worse so I have no idea who Monty plays ahead of Craig. Idk what happened to TJ Warren but he doesn’t even try to score in his limited minutes. He also looks lost on defense.

Kings got a great whistle from the refs tonight.That type of treatment is normally reserved for major market teams with superstars on the road.The Suns made 3-4 absolute brain dead turnovers tonight.Sometimes it seems this team just lacks spatial awareness.They've been horrible at tracking down & securing loose balls for years.

Seriously, contrast that against the challenge last game against dallas.

Doncic CLEARLY pushes off Okogie, Okogie recovers, Doncic jumps into Okogie, Okogie gets called with the foul.

Refs review.... challenge unsuccessful.

It's not bad officiating that's ruining the game. It's inconsistency. I have a huge bias in favor of international players, but guys like Doncic and Giannis can just run other guys over and go to the free throw line, while first team an All NBA player who ended up 4th in MVP voting will get called for an offensive foul on an identical play.

You watch a game for close to 3 hours just to see it get decided like that. AI needs to take over sooner rather than later.

If AI takes over baseball will be the first sport to try it out. But enough is enough refs are way too inconsistent and favor certain basketball players. Giannis, Embiid, Luka, Lebron are their darlings while rest will suffer for that supposedly blown whistle which hardly ever is called. Just hope something changes in playoffs like veteran refs over others who don’t belong on the big stage.
