Well when u dont have paint threat and shooters realize that then they have much more pressure to make those threes.

CP3 can only do so much by himself. If no one else is making buckets, Paul will be double and triple teamed. He's still trying to get the rest of the team going, but it looks like a useless effort.

Why did CP3 go back to hardly shooting the ball? It’s not like he’s off or something. Does he not see how much better we looked when he was taking shots as opposed to him feeding shooters who are beyond cold af

Jackson saying it best

‘They have been outworked tonight by the Pelicans’

Poor damn effort... lackadaisical

can suns start taking bad teams seriously, they keep losing to the worst teams in the league but they somehow keep thinking they can take nights off. Find other ways to score if they threes are not falling stupid, it is not that difficult to figure out, this is the problem of squads built by jones, all three point shooters, but few players who can attack basket.

It’s hard to call any coach who had a career 173-221 record (before coming here) a “genius” for sure.

He's just deferring to Booker completely and it's not working for anyone except Bookers points total.

Again, put the ball in Booker’s hand and good things happen. At this point, take CP3 out and roll with point Booker for the rest of the game.

And no it’s not too early to start worrying. This isn’t first week of the season or game #10 or something. We’re almost 20 games in.

Same **** over and over again. Embarrassing as hell. That too on national TV.


We will be a lot better when Payne and Saric are back.

With this loss we will be tied with Portland and Memphis for the 5th seed. Portland also lost to OKC and needed 2 3s in the last 9 seconds to beat the Bulls the other night.

These 3 teams will also only be 1 game back of Denver...and you know how we played against them while missing a bunch of players.

The big problem is the Rockets, Warriors and Spurs are right behind that group. Rockets lost to the Thunder too tonight but they were without Wall.

It is tight so it would be nice to win every single game, but unfortunately we will lose some, and play badly at times. It does happen in a 72 game season.

We were projected by Vegas, at least by over/under win totals at the beginning of the season, to be the 7th seed with 38.5 wins...and GS/NO were projected to be tied for 8th at 36.5.

Why not try Jalen Smith? Does he suck that much? Rookies taken before and after him are playing 20+ mins a game.

Money says Steven Adams comes back in after this break.

Frank cant control him, so its going to be a toss up with who Ayton should cover between him and Zion.

Is this the first time we have seen Ayton and Frank together?

If that's the case, we should counter with Crowder. Let Crowder cover Adams and keep Ayton on Zion.

f**k the suns for keep losing to bad teams like pistons, wizards thunder and now pelicans, 4 freaking win wasted. The Nash and Kidd suns almost never lose to teams below 500.

Smith mustn't be doing something to not be getting minutes. Either that or Monty just doesn't like him.

At least give him the junk time.
