Sixers were gifted that one by the refs. Without that awful awful stretch of officiating in the second and third quarter, Suns win this one going away.

Bridges needs to be starting for the rest of the season, there's no doubt about that to me.

Hard to win when the refs won't let us play defense.

our rebounding problem is not on Ayton, it is on everyone else.

Now that we start our best 5 players our bench is a disgrace

The refs decided this game. I'm happy we came out and gave one of the top 5 teams in the league a run for their money.

Wasn't able to watch the second half, but DANG Sixers shot 42 free throws?!?! I mean, we missed 11 free throws in a 5 point game, but man. Also, it's clear that we are starting our 5 best players and it worked out fairly well. However, we now have absolutely no bench. Maybe JJ will start to step up

Games are actually competitive now, though. Suns need to make some moves for sure, but they are trending up.

Refs had to ensure they got their bonus checks for the Sixers winning.

The refs may have gifted the 6ers some points but so did the Suns. Their defense is absolutely pathetic. There's over 1 minute left and down by only 6 and everyone has their hands down, no ones in passing lanes, pressing. Legit already look defeated. Only player with any heart is Mikal Bridges.

Ariza gives as little effort as anyone too and isnt he supposed to be an all NBA defense candidate?

but we are improving, we are looking way better than we did weeks before. i Hope that there is a Deal for 12/15.. what this team needs is someone taking over the commando in close games, booker cant do it all by hisself

Ariza looks the worst of all too and isn

Suns aren't good at defense, but it doesn't help when they can't breathe on a player without an automatic whistle.

Lol, just a tip . If you want easy money - wait for PHX to build a double digit lead, then put money on the other team to win. I’ve won 3 bets already this season and only lost 1 (spurs game).

I agree that Bridges is the one with heart, though Ariza has some too. But part of the problem in this one at the end is everyone was playing with 4 or 5 fouls....but yeah, in the last minute or two that shouldn't matter.

Just so glad we have Bridges...I think he might inject some heart in other young players to the extent you can get Ayton, Book and TJ to play D. TJ has gotten a bit better this year, but the others have a ways to go.

I don't get why everyone is upset, did you seriously expect a win? Suns played well against a contender on the road that is all we can hope for. The schedule has been brutal, it is like we play a very good team like every night. Besides the game against the nets none of the teams we lost to were teams we were supposed to beat. The losing margin has been reducing means we are improving.

Guys played well. Embiid gets ridiculous calls all the time leads the league in FT attempts its not just against you guys
