Tucker has been worse offensively this year, but today he is just HORRIBLE.

It certainly might have something to do in late game moments "oh we can't blow this one again", but nonetheless, I'm overall impressed that they keep competing with mostly good teams on the road, especially after being demoralized.

Today I think that is minimum effort from the Bulls...they are just waiting for the fourth quarter.

Sad but true

Observation bias. Each quarter/possession in the game is worth just as much as every other possession, regardless of time.

Just waiting for the epic 4th quarter collapse.

They both suck this year. It's a huge problem considering both of them have been starting for the most part.

Suns this year (per quarters)
1Q = -1.5 NetRtg
2Q = -0.6 NetRtg
3Q = 6.5 NetRtg
4Q = -8.2 NetRtg

Way to have us prepared, Jeff. Excellent start to the 3rd...

Yeah, you guys are probably right. They probably huddled before the game and said "Everyone, listen up. Let's play with minimal effort through three quarters. Lets go Bulls"

NBA is a game of runs. You know this.

Bledsoe & Knight are amazing guards have a total of 3 assists combined with 3rd Q almost over. Suns have never had such great guards like this before.

The ball movement compared to ours is just...

Consistently folding down the stretch is a coaching issue IMO. Games over at this point.

I seriously have my doubts that Bledsoe is they type of PG who can lead the Suns to deep playoff runs. He's athletic and can score, but it questionable how much better he makes his teammates.

Looks like we don't have much energy left after a long road trip.

One positive is we lost it in the third not the last

We lost the game in 45 seconds on their 8-0 run to start the 3rd.

Tucker's stat line at the end of the 3rd quarter: 0/1 with 4 TO.

I will go back to prior point that this team doesn't like each other. This effects teams. Too much uncertainty with the team. Who's going to play, who's going to get traded. Who's going to be our coach etc.

25-10 in this Q.
