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?

Yup, reminiscence of last season it seems sadly. We probably blew a couple of dozen games leading by double digits last season. Very frustrating same events continue to occur.

Way to put a struggling Cortes in leading to a Dodger grand slam and a win.

The lack of any interior presence for the sake of defense or rebounding is troubling. We need to get defenders and shop always signing shooters. But if we did that... would we still be the Suns?

It's just a sincere pleasure to not see Booker with the ball in his hands and defenders just salivating at the chance to pick his pocket in a double.

Jones or Morris should be in all the time. We can't risk having anyone else being a primary ball handler. Last season's experiment was a failure and it should not be tried again. It's right up there with the three headed PG thing we had a long time ago with Bledsoe, Thomas, and Dragic.

And another blown lead due to carelessness.

So the 3rd quarter is our new 4th quarter.

Not sure what happened to Nurk since he was quite good for us for the majority of last season, but he is unplayable at the moment.

Nurkic is a circus clown can’t stand watching him play.

38 points in first quarter, 43 points combined next two quarters. Yup, sounds about right.

Absolute clown show by Nurkic. Throwing the ball away constantly. Fumbling the ball on offensive boards, can't finish to save his life

Most of this lead evaporating has been down to him.
