Game 35: Phoenix Suns (16-18) @ Charlotte Hornets (7-27) | Jan 7 | 5:00PM

[Saberestar]

Royce O'Neale out for the Suns.

Tre Mann and Grant Williams out for the Hornets.

7-27 but they have a dangerous starting 5. LaMelo is an All-Star.

Need to come out strong and not fall behind like in previous games. Set the tempo and play smart. We got this!!!

[SkyBill40]

Booker has come out strong in what appears to be a more concerted effort than the previous game. Beal back to Earth so far with an o-fer start.

Looks like the officials are letting them play, too. A lot of contact and few fouls being called.

I'm always surprised at how efficient Beals numbers look on a stat sheet.When I actually watch the games, he seems wildly inconsistent.I can't remember the last time he put together a string of highly efficient games.

Beal definitely seems nice... but that's the extent of it. He's inconsistent and that helps no one least of all his own cause. If he's trying to strengthen his position as a member of this team and show Jones/Ishbia he belongs, this isn't getting it done.

[Maze]

Don't know how Grayson allowed himself to be burnt right there.It was obvious the spin move was coming.Telegraphed the whole way.

[Saberestar]

Book getting back his shooting touch.

[SunsRback4Good]

Can’t build a bigger lead when we like shooting a ton of threes. Gina mix it up and take it more inside too.

[SkyBill40]

And just like that... the lead is GONE.

[SkyBill40]

This free throw disparity isn't helping us AT ALL. Neither are the stupid fouls and careless play. With this team, no lead is safe as you can almost be assured it's getting erased by the opponent.

[garrick]

We are getting manhandled as per usual.

Too much finesse and jump shooting.

[Saberestar]

Crazy. 13 down at the half.

[Saberestar]

Beal 1/7
KD 2/7

Dunn was a doing a great job on LaMelo and in the 2nd quarter we put Tyus on him. Oh my...

[Maze]

This team has a weak chin & slow reflexes.One good jab is all it takes.Knees weak, arms are heavy.

[AtheJ415]

KD misses a wide open layup that he could've dunked but chose not to, slaps his hands together and doesn't even move 5 feet before the Hornets beat everybdy down the foor and get a fast break bucket. That is this entire team. Lazy with no leadership because our stars shrug off all responsibility. Bunch of babies

Our entire offense the past 5 minutes has been KD going 1 on 1. We are the Nash Nets. Just absurd to waste this much offensive talent

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti… He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready.

[sunskerr]

This team is going nowhere so fast I actually hope we lose now

Damn Book might be down.

What a dumpster fire of a season...

[SkyBill40]

Booker about to be out another batch of games. He's clearly hurt and isn't going to just shake that off. If he does somehow play on, color me surprised.
