Think we got too comfortable at home after the Utah blowout and up 20 last game, since then we've been beaten by Spurs by 40 points in 40 minutes for no tangible reason has to be between the ears.

I know wemby is a talent but its a little unlucky to be burned by him from 3 like that

Even if we had Beal the result would be the same.
Can't rebound, can't close out and leaving wide open shooters like Wemby to shoot a totally uncontested 3.

What the hell did I just tune into with 2mins in the 1st half? I mean I had a bad feeling about this game, but not THIS bad and Book I'd playing to boot?
Yeeeeeeesh.
Yeeeeeeesh.

I miss Mikal like anyone but that team was not a championship team at all. Let's just give this team more time.
sucks but hindsight is all we can do.
TBH I wish we ran with what we had and not got involved in the Dame Trade. Let Ayton play with this team (had good chemistry with Eric Gordon over summer). till trade deadline. Should have made a trade for McConnel.
Ran
McConnel (beal whenever healthy)
Booker
Okogie
KD
Ayton
bench
Goodwin
gordon
watanabe
Metu
KBP
Azuibuke
WOuld have loved to see that team
Woulda coulda shoulda..

Another 10 turnovers, Jones doesn't change systems mid season so it'd going to have to be trial by learning
Maybe we can do a reverse of last game and come back from 20
I don't think Beal saves us from giving up 150 against them

Suns aren't playing great, but Spurs are shooting better than prime Curry as a team. Book looks rusty. Lots of bad calls and missed calls by Tony "San Antonio" Brothers.
Wembanyama is gonna get calls that make Giannis look like a nobody.

Jesus 10 more turnovers and 7-8 missed free throws.
Why even bother stepping on the court? The self-inflicted pain tour continues ....

145-106 last 4 quarters
Seems we always lose these double home games for some reason dont think we've ever won both

This new defense of just pointing at the guy with with the ball hoping he'll miss is a bold strategy...

Robinson, Duncan, Wembanyama is **** stupid and unfair. Meanwhile we get 4 1/2 frustrating years of DeAndre Ayton.

Why the hell didn't we get Bismack again?
He's a relatively mobile center that is really cheap and isn't the total liability on defense that Nurkic is.

You were frustrated ….. 2021 we got to finals and Ayton dominated the clippers series going to game 7 and was a reason we won!
I would rather have Ayton at 80% than Nurkic and allen !

**** LOL. Booker gets no calls and Wemby gets bull calls. The travel call there was a makeup to try and make it not look too obvious.

Yeah and Nurkic is dog water ! Our front court sucks now and softer than Ayton…. Suns have no shot with this front court

I also said 4 1/2 seasons because I recognized Aytons few games of playing like a number 1 pick.

He didn’t want to be here will you shut up for once in your life? So F—- annoying at this point in love with Ayton.
