He buys into the passing bigman image too much. Many of his passes are way too risky.

Thank you Book! Nurkic with 4 turnovers in the 1st half is just too much.

Nurk and Plumlee are poopy. Give us Bol Bol!
SHAZAM!

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

Turnovers are contagious with this team. 22 To’s last game and already with 12 first half. Most of TO’s seem to happen with shot clock under 7 seconds as we are rushing our passes.

Was listening on the radio. Sounds like it's more of the same in the case of turnovers, with Nurkic committing four already. I said it last game and I'll say it again: He needs to go. Can we find a taker though?

Would be nice to find some buyers for Nurkic. I don’t enjoy watching his game especially last year in playoffs he was a black hole not providing much.

Yeah, while the 3’s are falling we look remarkable, but once they stop.. the Suns need to punish the lakers through mid rangers & layups. Also, not turn the ball over a dozen times again.

Typical third quarter woes. Doesn't look like we've learned anything from last season.

And we've sacrificed a 22 point lead. Just selfish play costing us.

Can’t believe I’m rooting for the Yankees, but I despise the Dodgers with passion.

As is the standard for this team. Can't protect a lead to save their lives. I mean... how many double digit leads did we blow and end up leading to losses last season?
