I swear it seems like Harrison Barnes only plays up to his full potential against the Suns.

Why wouldn't you challenge that? So infuriating. Literally the only part of Little's body that touched Barnes was his balls on Barnes' foot. Could be down 16, instead down 19 with all that momentum gone.

Basket would still be good. Not worth a challenge, but that was an awful call.

I've never seen a team collectively lose their shooting touch like the Suns.

We are lucky Luka and Kyrie will likely be out
This team is crumbling

At this point we could probably still find an L even with both out.

Doing point Book is so stupid.
It lets the defense double him and he isn't a good enough ball handler or passer to make teams pay for the double. Then it forces the bench players to try to do something with the ball which the defense is more than happy to oblige.
Also using Grayson Allen at the SF hurts him since he's too small to contest and guard bigger players so running a 3 guard line up of Goodwin, Booker and Grayson leaves a lot to be desired. At this point I'm almost ready to concede the season even if Beal comes back because Beal does nothing to improve the passing and defense.

Seriously though, how is a team with so many great 3 points shooters (at least on their previous teams) so bad at hitting wide open 3s?
Just embarrassing, feels like the team gave up altogether after that Beal injury when he played 4 **** minutes.

So start Saben and Metu

I'm starting to come around on maybe giving Wall a shot. Then hope PJ Tucker gets bought out and comes to Phoenix.

Azubuike looks good too but he's probably too foul prone to play more than 20 minutes most nights.
We now see why Eubanks didn't get many offers in the off season, he's a bargain pickup but he is hardly a steal like many fans thought when we signed him.
Just way too inconsistent and has no touch inside.

Every single team during this bad run has doubled Booker. Again I always hated this point Book BS for years. He's not James Harden!!!!

Yeah, there has been a stark difference after that injury. It’s like the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Easy win for the Kings. Disgusting.
I don't know why our role players are playing THAT bad. Gordon was invisible out there, Eubanks was terrible.
Goodwin, Watanabe, Little, Lee...NOTHING.
Teams just double Book and KD all the time and is working nicely, it's so simple.
Well, this is the lowest point in the season. Nurkic will play the next one. Praying for getting back Okogie too and he can change our rotation and dynamics.

BTW, the Kings with all their roster available (minus Len) and we were missing Beal, Nurkic, Okogie and Damion. So far this is the story of this season.

The first half being competitive is the only positive. KD with careless TOs, nowhere to be found during key moments and body language doesn't look good. Booker can't hit an open 3 now, while Murray was draining 3s in his face. EG and Eubanks were exposed on D. They are barely rotation players against good teams. The rest of the bench players other than Azubuike and to some degree Metu were brutal.
