I remember a few minutes ago when Hubie was all It's only a 14-point game. If the Suns can get it to within under 10 then it's a brand new game.


I've attended mass that had louder murmuring.

I don't think any of us was expecting this beat down after a 2-2 start to the series.

This year is almost as bad as Giannis and Westbrook stealing two MVPs from Harden.


an Embiid centered offense scored 80 pts at home in a crucial playoff game
a Jokic led offense scored 80 pts away from home, in a half!

oh and btw, Jokic's defense was incredible in this half

This era of the Suns and elimination games. What a duo.
It's time for 5 refs.

Muh boy Ayton is a really good dude on a serious note, the problem with the Suns is Monty and CP3

Will Ayton play another game as a Sun?

Giving up 81 points in a playoff game on your home floor is pretty bad.......

Why do teams with Chris Paul always have deflating disastrous losses like this to end there season. Teams with cp3 it feels like the teammates hate each other

Wow, no one quits like a Monty led crew.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Zero competative spirit. Worse than Sixers with 2 minutes to play this game.

Name and shame. Payne, Okogie, Ayton showing them something on the phone.
