No way we come back from 0-2 . I hope we can continue to make moves to improve this squad next year.

Really pissed away a great opportunity
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Inexcusable that a team with Booker and Durant struggle to score 90. Something is wrong with the offence.

I mean you're right bro but TJ and Ross are legit guys. I don't know why Monty is so stubborn.

By the way, this is why it **** matters "how" you win.

Because when you face better competition playing subpar basketball, you lose.

This is on Monty. How do we not have set rotations with players that can score and have any **** plays to actually run?

We lose this series and we need a coach that can actually make his team work. Absolutely no reason a team with Booker and Durant can't get a basket at least half the trips down the court.

Granted Durant has been terrible tonight.

You may be right. And CP will be out no doubt

We have to play a perfect game to win. Perfect game starts with Book and KD combining for 60+ and two others stepping up…. and we sure dont have the horses when A and B underperform

Amazing right? Especially with how poorly everyone else is shooting - how can you NOT bring in guys like that?
