Another game, another necessary win. We must get as many as we can to not fall into a hole in the standings.

The last minute or so was weird. Super high pass from Jones and then a foot high pass from Beal.

Our offense is good, not great. Our defense is poor.

It was a general comment, not really based on this particular game

I swear, Royce has kept us in a bunch of games this season with his timely 3PTers.

Exactly. It's a standard comment for just about any game from this team and that's pretty sad.

Wasn't trading Ayton for Turner a real option at one point? Turner would fit our current team like a glove.

And now Booker's injured with groin tightness, the same injury that's haunted him for years and had him miss loads of games.

Whats longer than a rebuild?

Being 7 years away from a rebuild.

I take back 40% of the things i said about Vogel.

Turner killed us with his mobility and shooting, Siakam and him are a tough frontcourt.

Out defense was bad with Nurkic AND without Nurkic. Budenholzer tried everything but we could not get stops.

Hopefully it’s an small injury for Book.

To the next one. We need to win against the Pistons.

This team is super boring to watch without a true identity. You just never know which one of our three stars will get injured on a daily basis. I’ll watch 5 min then turn my tv off because watching this version of the suns is truly painful.

Turns out Vogel was not the issue with this team. It's the players. They can't stay healthy. With Bud we are a little better than last year. Ishbia should be begging Riley now to take Beal for Butler.
