Time to get at it. Let's go. Time to spoil Ayton's return to the valley tonight.

Offense looks out of sync without Dunn in there.

Not a great start. And to think this team managed 15 shots in a row the other night?

I used to wonder how the OKC team with Westbrook and Durant never won a title but it makes sense to me now, they both have similar basketball IQ and vision when it comes to passing the ball.

KD might be the worst passer the Suns have had start at forward position since Michael Beasley 10-12 years ago.

If either one had the ball, that person wanted to iso and play the hero. As a Sonics fan, seeing them fail year in and out was a secret pleasure.

Another bad Nurk game. Just put Dunn at the 5. This dude is a disaster.

We're likely stuck with him though unless we package a good player and/or our '31 first round pick. I'd rather we not do that even to see him off the roster.

Just when I’m reading your comment KD makes a bad pass to absolutely nobody on our team.

Simons and Jerami are such black holes.

There's never a shot they won't turn down.

Suns can't buy a basket from distance tonight.

This is their sort of game tho.

Somebody needs to just shoot and make some shots.

At this point, Grayson Allen is too redundant on this team with Booker, Beal, Dunn and Royce. Would the Jazz do a trade like Grayson/Bol for Kessler/Clarkson if its legal?

They're also the main 3pt specialists on a team that is one of the worst shooting beyond the stripe.

They have too many forwards on this team and not enough 3pt shooting specialists or true pass first point guards, such a mismanaged franchise.

What a throwaway game tonight. You'd think they're on the second of a back-to-back with how poor they're playing tonight. Something has to give here and spark a run and awaken the crowd. To have 43 points at the half and be losing to a poor opponent in POR is far from acceptable.
