Absolutely nothing going tonight. Trap game was indeed trap.

[Calvin Klein]

why is Chris Paul still on the court?!?!

[bwgood77]

OK, about time for a 20 point comeback...and no more talking about pizza in a game thread, EVER!

Just admit you are getting hungry and about to break your 2,000 calorie limit. I suggest venezia pizza their huge New York slices are to die for.

No, I just feel that ever since the food talk started the Suns have played like crap. But by all means, continue.

My favorite sandwich place by far is ike's love and sandwiches

I know its a chain but DAMN they are the best sandwiches ive ever had.

You a sandwich freak too?

Sandwiches are my thangggg. My family nickname for me is white bread. Doesnt matter when or what.

Its thanksgiving and you are slicing a turkey? ill take some bread rolls and make sliders with the turkey

Pretty bad shooting past couple games, defense was getting wins but tonight lazy defense is doing us in. Booker absolutely horrible shooting tonight.

I'm Sal. I can do this job. I won't fail like all my previous jobs. I'm not a bartender anymore. I'm Sal.

Spoiler:

impractical jokers hehe

Hate to blame coaching normally but this team was not prepared to play tonight WTF

[collidingNeurons]

Regardless how the Suns play, Eddie Johnson always has a barrage of excuses. Yes I like Eddie Johnson normally, Yes the Suns have had a great year and exceeded expectations, yes every team has games like this, but the Suns have lost 10 times to teams with losing records and now about to get embarrassed by a Spurs team missing 2 starters and three of their top 8 players, ... they never take these as wakeup calls and will once again take a lesser team lightly before the season is over. This is just not a smart or mature team when it comes to always playing to the level of their competition and it's beyond frustrating

I don't believe it mattered who the Spurs played tonight. They are on, both offensively and defensively.
Suns **** the bed, sure, but the Spurs have been elite tonight. And it's not because we are taking them lightly

regardless if they took them lightly or not, they have been sleep walking and playing awful defense, and their offense hasn't been any better, mostly it's been a pass or two then someone going one on one, it's easy to say it's the Spurs , but apparently we have now caught the Spurs, Timberwolves, Wizards, Kings, Pistons, Thunder, Magic on their best nights of the year, that trend isn't a coincidence

[King4Day]

We haven't lost back to back games since January I believe.
We're about to see what this team is made of. Adversity now that we lost to a shorthanded team in embarrassing fashion and have our next 2 games against 2 of the 3 top contenders in the East, IN their home.

This will go either really bad, or we'll learn that we are true contenders.

Ike's is the ****. Got them here in San Diego. I dunno about the meat options, but the veggie/vegan sammiches are the best. My ex knew someone that worked at the one near me and we'd get sandwiches for like... $10 for 2. One of the only reasons I miss dating her, lol.

Edit: DUTCH CRUNCH.

My Vegas pal rants about them... will samm it out next time up there.


Valuable gastro information has been exchanged tonight.... so there is that. Not a total loss

[SunsRback4Good]

Eddie Johnson making me feel a bit better about having embarrassing losses. I guess every team has them so it's part of the process.

[SlovenianDragon]

One thing I havent found in AZ is somewhere with a good philly cheesesteak i want them to be CHEESY and for some reason Az is all about like provolone and jalapenos...

[Keith_myath]

DA really needs to develop a mid range shot from somewhere other than the baseline. Pop exploited that tonight by crowding the key when he got the ball to take away the around the basket shot. DA scores most of his points because of his height around the basket. Not tonight. Had multiple bodies willing to be physical with him, which scared him.

CP3 didn't want the ball in his hand. Was getting it and passing it quickly after he realised his mid range shot was having to be against 3 defenders stopping his patented sidestep fadeaway.

Pop dared us to beat them from the 3pt line, but made sure the defenders who sagged, closed out rapidly. Brilliantly coached.

Pop also knew that when CP3 wasn't creating, and DA went placid, Book was going to play hero ball. Book playing hero ball is virtually a guaranteed loss.

The weak as p!ss above-the-rim squad is now being exploited by teams and JJ hasn't seemed to have done anything about it. There'd be plenty of players in the G League or Europe who could be signed to come off the bench who can use their body and kick the ball out to shooters.

You will NOT be disappointed. They make subway look like the Suns tonight.

He's certainly said that enough tonight, huh?

[Frank Lee]

Did anyone play good?

Eddie has been drinking... I swear he said Shank will soon be playing an important role with this team down the stretch.

[bwgood77]

You know, one of the biggest arguments against DeRozan being a really good player or all star is that people say his teams have always been better when he is off the floor.

[SunsRback4Good]

Suns must've lost this seasons game tape and found once from a few years ago.
