2nd time this team allows a fastbreak after a made basket

I don't like this team.

They're totally incapable of playing a full game, half the time they seem to lack professional shooters, they can't stop anyone. They don't box out or hustle back on defense--teams run on them constantly off of made buckets. They resort to iso-ball all the time, then miss wide open shots on kickouts. They either can't close or can't start.

What makes me angriest is the lack of hustle. It shows they don't take it seriously. I wonder why we keep tuning in when they're this unprofessional in their approach.


Yeah its really inexcusable to totally lose your man on defense and no one picks up the cutter that has a wide open lane to the basket. The court awareness is just lacking for some reason.

Read on Twitter


It’s amazing how much Luka fcking hates the Suns man. Mfer was 2-8 from 3 in the last game against Boston and of course tonight he’s 4-5.

I don’t care about the “competitors” bullsht, Booker needs to apologize to him for the “Luka special” and all the other nonsense and get on good terms with him. This sht cannot go on forever, he’s gonna continue to own this franchise forever.

It’s not even just a meme anymore, it’s reality.

These refs have got to start calling flopping penalties consistently. They pick and choose

I like Grayson but he's just too small to guard Luka.

We get killed on the rebounds when playing 4 guard lineup out there.

Again... Vogel is at least good at making defensive adjustments. Just wish we could get it right from the beginning of the game.

Well at least we made our comeback. And Kyrie is not playing. And Doncic is limping.

Sorry I'm late. Was attending services for a friend who had his son taken from him at just 24.

Anyway..

I checked the score just a few minutes ago and we were down 11. Now we're within a basket? Wow. What'd I miss?

Silly turnovers and missed ft's. Clean it up a bit and we're on the right track

KD has the best chance at guarding Luka considering his size and mobility.

But he’s too lightweight and Luka will just throw him around like a rag doll.
