KD needs to dial in for this 4th Q. He can’t be turning it over and settling for garbage contested fades.

It's going to take time everyone assumed you could just throw the ball out there and they would be fine, it's an entirely new team that has no idea how to play together, it's not going to be as easy a year as moat think.

Gordon and Allen will be fine. Rough game, it happens.

Need someone other than Okogie and Book to show up if we want to win tonight

I'm not too worried about KD. He will obviously come around. I obviously didn't like the Kings ransom trade we did for him, but I know who he is. Eric Gordon...not THAT'S concerning.

Suns shooting didn't help at all but the zebras definitely made their presence felt early and often that quarter.

Booker’s gonna have to still play over 40 mins tonight. Even all the trades and moves and everything.

Dario all of a sudden looks quicker than he ever did on the Suns.The guy was a human snail here.

Hey KD, wake up. We need something from you

Again. This team looks like they are playing a serious game for the first time together and without a point guard…which they are

oooo 5th foul for Steph

This team could use Chris Paul. The lack of playmaking is appalling. Point Book is not something I've been fond of. Personally

Well our depth isn't as strong as it was before Crowder sat especially, when we had both Cam's, Craig, etc, all off the bench. Now Gordon should be about as good as Cam was, but we'll see.

Add Goodwin to the list with Yuta, Drew, and Josh

Anyone enjoy watching “ No Defense Suns” because this will be our entire season. We lost too many great defenders and don’t enough to guard great scorers.

I haven't been a believer in that thought process and thought trading Payne to be a mistake for that reason alone.

We need to have Okogie or Goodwin on the court all the time.

Blonde · Post #377 » by **Blonde** » Wed Oct 25, 2023 4:15 am

Yuta has been very impressive. I fully expected him to be outside the rotation but he’s proving he belongs.

Post #378 » by **lilfishi22** » Wed Oct 25, 2023 4:15 am

Yuta needs more PT as well. Great pressure release and can attack close outs

Ex-Sun putting a little extra mustard on his effort tonight.

He'll be just as inconsistent in GS as he was in PHX. znot to mention he's an aging big fresh off tearing a knee.

True. To rebound KD's missed shots.
