Game 13: Phoenix Suns (6-6) @ Utah Jazz (4-8)

[Qwigglez]

Need to figure out our 4th quarter lineup. Jordan Goodwin isn't it.

Offense absolutely stalls when Book and KD aren't in together every single game.

The Suns let guys dribble up the court into wide open 3's like no team I've ever seen.

They're calling some really soft fouls. We've got to get those gimme money shots. KBD was point blank and missed an easy one.

Gordon back to his chucking ways.

Suns missing FTs, not rebounding, and turning it over. That is why we are losing to a team we are drastically more talented than. Repeated theme throughout the year.

On the offensive rebounds too, sometimes we have 5 guys in the paint to literally 0-1 Jazz player, but our guys do not have the awareness to realize a long shot = a long rebound nor the wherewithall to actually box out to their man on the perimeter. Again, it's constant mental mistakes we should not expect from a veteran team.

Lack of effort and lack of focus. We underachieve every game due to the same 2 things. It's like we're just going through the motions until the playoffs.

Because we don't run sets and when we do we don't run secondary actions. We rely entirely on those 2 to get us good shots.

I just feel like the combination of poor play and a lack of defense is going to have us heading into the next game with an L. I want to be optimistic about things but we can't win like this.

Little plays with effort. I'd immediately put him into the top 8 of the rotation going forward

[sunsbum]

dont understand why vogel has to wait till 5 min to put him in, like dead ball at 6 min just put his ass in man.

I think we end up winning because we still have WAY MORE talent than the Jazz but it shouldn't end up excusing how this team has sleepwalked through the season. We should be a team on a mission to win the title and maximizing the talent available. We are nowhere close to that and my primary concern is that a lot of the issues are stemming from lack of effort, which is always inexcusable, and lack of focus / mental miscues, which you shouldn't expect a TON of on a veteran team, even if some of the guys haven't played together a bunch.

Mikal would avg 50 points a game via cutting with Nurk on the floor. Why does no one cut, get the tape out.

[Qwigglez]

KD and Book make it look so easy sometimes. Other times they make it look hard.

[AtheJ415]

Nurkic doesn't know who he's guarding and gives up a crucial wide open 3 to Collins with a minute left. Another mental mistake.
