I would rather watch Len than Koloko and that's scary to say.

Does Reaves have the best handles for a SG in the league currently? I guess SGA could be considered a 2 guard, but Reaves gotta be up there

A replacement level big like Tony Bradley or something would be so much better than Koloko

Good thing Kevin Durant has the GSW stop even on his resume at all because without it it would be very hard to rank him over countless other players all time. Either by injury or just plain getting beat, some of his teams outside GSW have had some underwhelming or underachieving seasons.

It's like there is a lot more to winning NBA basketball than a couple of guys being able to put the ball in the bucket.

Lakers are playing with fire right now. Luka creates insane amount of open looks but they are just missing. Suns can still come back.

Was Booker really that overrated?

He's not actually trying, right?

I wish we had the Suns' pick this season instead of next season.

We could send it back to them as part of a trade for Booker :wink:
Maybe they'll win the lottery next season.

JJ getting that timeout in with seconds left before losing it unlike Ham. Gotta appreciate the little things.

No defense. They spent all of their assets on offensive minded players

I mean, it was a horrible shooting night for the suns, they missed so many wide open 3s.

22.0% from 3pt, that's just killer in today's NBA

Its a team of veterans that have checked out on the season and have also tuned out on the coach. KD knows he's getting traded in the off-season so he's just going through the motions. He doesn't even try on defense anymore and is only focused on scoring.
