Pathetic

He's there laughing with a guy who loves his game but in the same breathe willing to cut his throat.

The season is finished.

Too many mental miscues and brain farts and neither KD nor Booker have enough heart to put this team on their shoulders. What should have been a competitive game has turned into a rout by committing turnovers after turnovers and leaving their opponents wide open.

I don't normally comment on Booker but I remember when he was a killer to the point where ppl were comparing him to Kobe but now he plays like he doesn't care about sh*t

I’ve been numb the past few seasons especially after trading Mikal for KD. I’ve watched 3 full games this season while 95% of time watching 5-7 min max then turning my tv off. It’s ugly basketball with no team chemistry. I refuse to waste my time watching garbage.

After a great first quarter when we scored 34 points the Wolves increased his tight defense and everything became harder on offense for us.

Every basket has been tough to get and they got some separation in the third and with his great defense we couldn't make a run.

I don't think that we played bad but we were overplayed by a great team defense. I would love to see more double-team from us, specially on players like Edwards who killed us.

14 turnovers between Book, KD and Beal

At least KD got his 26 points :clap:

But it's alright, we will get them next time :nod:

That should be a F2 ejection for Beal, that was a very dangerous play.

Glad Edwards is okay...

You have that Kd mentality. I'm putting Edwards and Divincenzo on their arse. You're already up big and then trying to embarrass me especially on my homecourt. I miss the 90's

We are ONE game up on POR and FOUR back from DAL. If we don't get it together and fast, we're going to get passed up by a team that's pretty much awful but plays their asses off despite all their youth and lack of experience.

Devin Booker as Phoenix Suns face Minnesota Timberwolves to begin an 8-game stretch against teams ahead of them in the Western Conference.

Suns are 11th in the West.


Didn't watch, but must've felt like the playoffs.

Not when a player is airborne.

Edit: I would be okay with it if he actually made an attempt to block his shot but he didn't even jump. He should know better.

Ishbia needs to sell the team. He destroyed it in record time. We obviously need to blow it all up now, but I don't trust him to make the next iteration of the team any less terribly constructed. Dude needs to stick to screwing people over on mortgages and ripping way too many lines of blow.
