Game 42: Phoenix Suns (21-20) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (35-6) l Monday l 1:30pm l AZFamily

Camera shows Booker at background while Damion was shooting FTs and the guy was laughing. He had like 5 dumb TOs in this game. Hitting the rim on a pass, throwing the ball at opponents hands, bad passes to Richards on fastbreak. Then you watch Cavs role players sticking to fundamentals and that's the result - 30pt win.

You saw that too with around 5 minutes left,
KD and Booker just sitting there joking around. Laughing and looking indifferent:

36' unbothered!!!

Laughing when no names make fun out of your "Big 3". Losers.

Jeez. Talk about getting totally outclassed and embarrassed.

But trading for Jimmy Butler will change their focus!!

Chris Paul would’ve snapped their head off seeing such foolery on the sidelines. We have no player to keep our stars accountable and it’s frankly sad. KD and Book should be professionals they been in the league since you and I were in diapers, yet screw around like they don’t even care.

The Cavs are like the 2021 Suns, young team getting hot with good chemistry and overachieving at the right moment.

I think the Celtics and Knicks edge them out in the playoffs but this is such a feel good moment for a dismal franchise that lost LBJ for nothing in free agency. Meanwhile

Only difference between this team and the Suns is their ungodly record of 36-6. They’re on the verge of winning 70+ games this season. If this version of the Cavs played the same version of bucks in 21 the Cavs would win in 5 maybe 6 games. This team is legit and has a historical point deferential of +10.6.

The Cavs are better than that Suns team. They were missing Mobley who’s their best 2-way player.

They are doing what they love. Ready to get high tonight and watch the National Championship.

Bickley isn't right that often - but he was right when he said why Book and Durant are perfect for the Olympic team but not leaders on the Suns.

I didn't like trading Mikal - but if Booker is traded, won't mean a thing but a positive move for the team.

[grumpysaddle]

Went just about as expected.

[DirtyDez]

Also, the idea of Beal waiving his NTC and moving his family to Wisconsin in the heart of winter is hilarious.

[Mr Puddles]

Just a wee bump in the championship road.

Yeah, the whole reason he insisted on that was so a team couldn't just make him uproot his family at their whim. Maybe he will waive it somewhere, but it would be more likely a place like LA or Texas probably. And a team would really have to sell him like KD and Book did. But he may be wary of that given that he knows people can change their tunes quickly.

If he does waive it, it seems like it would be in the offseason after his kids are out of school. Though I guess he could move by himself for a few months if his family was ok with the destination.

I hope he doesn't waive it though..think it could help force them to blow it up sooner.

The bad thing is our schedule is fairly easy until early Feb, which will give them more false hope, and then of course the schedule gets brutal the rest of the way. We have the toughest schedule left of top 12 WC teams including the easy games in the next couple of weeks.

$50 million for 5 points! Big three!.........LOL

[sunsbg]

On a positive note could've lost by 40 at home like Warriors. Some easy games ahead with a few against play-in teams like us in GSW and MIN. Should be able to gain some ground before the harder part of schedule kicks in.

[SunsRback4Good]

I missed the game due to our suckiness, but 15-1 offensive rebounds in favor of the Cavs is flat out embarrassing. Also, 17 turnovers is pretty bad too. I’m surprised we didn’t lose this game by 35+.

I thought TOs were bad, but this is truly embarrassing indeed. Like how is it even possible. Of course it was Dunn with a dunk on this glorious single offensive rebound.

[Mulhollanddrive]

We forgot to have a PG for a season, these things happen

I dont know how Jones is here after having 4 seasons get worse and worse based on basic decisions
