Defense has been surprisingly great for the most part. Just can't seem to hit a shot anymore.

Diallo playing really well considering he's playing against LeBron, AD, and their Cs.

Bridges is all over the place. He will lead the league in steals at some point...or come close.

I wish the refs called the game the same way for both teams. That would have been sideout for the Suns.

Book and Oubre throwing out a turd of a game.

This franchise is just snake bitten garbage right now

Booker has never found a rhythm with the rest of the team tonight. These things will happen. Especially when the starting lineup changes every night

Hoping Book just sits the 4th no reason to play him at this point he needs the rest same with Oubre, play Can and Jerome the 4th they need the minutes

Booker is going through the motions at the moment. Doesn't care, doesn't want to care. Playing that self-entitled game where he didn't get his way on something so has decided chuck and tanty.

Send him to the bench for the rest of the game; this one is done, anyway.

Just to vent a bit, it's things like AD saying he'll only re-sign with the Lakers or Knicks that pisses me off. We had enough to make a deal for him but we couldn't do it because he won't re-sign.
I wish if a team trades for a player, they can franchise him for 1 full season IF the player refuses to sign a long term deal with them.

He and Book would have meshed so well. But instead he goes crying to LA because....LA

I said we'll see a bigger chip on his shoulder Booker after the all-star snub and now he's making me look pretty bad.

I'll move the goal post to post-ASW hehe

Aaron Gordon with a big game. 26 on 50% shooting, 2 3s, 9 boards, 4 assists and a block.

WTF does Okobo bring to this team? Every time he plays its 4 vs 5. Just give Carter all his minutes

It's kind of surprising considering it's a nationally televised game. You think he'd get up for that and be clutch...Booker that is. Oubre is hot and cold...though he's been hot lately so I expected him to hit some more of his shots too.

If I saw their lines, knowing who we had out, I'd guess we were losing by like 30+ at this point.

How much better is Rubio than Rondo really? Seeing him go off against us reminds me of how many posters thought we were above signing him the last few seasons when we were trotting out Canaan and Ulis as our starting PGs.

The Suns are getting zero lucky bounces and rolls on the rim. It's getting comical.

Has anyone noticed all of the referees are brunettes tonight?

Dwight just knew it right now.

I don't really see it with Ellie either. Rather see Carter or Jerome.

Not disagreeing with you but every franchise has the power to be competitive. There's no reason why a fairly small market Spurs should win 4 championships in the period where the Kobe/Shaq Lakers, SSOL Suns and Miami Heatles existed. There's no reason why the Raptors should have won last season despite being a team that's always been a FA desert. I get it's easier for teams like LA to retool on the fly because they are a destination but so does the Knicks and they have been garbage for damn near 20 years.

I just don't think it's anything to really be frustrated about because Sarver could (not necessarily has the mental ability to) hire a legit GM, who then hires a legit coach, scouting department and makes the right trades/draft picks and turn this team into a perennial contender. The fact that LA is LA doesn't actually stop any other team from being competitive and contending.

Lebron James complains on everything, yet he constantly gets away with travels and offensive fouls. Maybe he should shut his **** mouth.
