Knight and barbacoa have played well tonight but I'm not a big fan of the lineup with them at the guard spots. I don't like the take turns going one on one offense.

Knight is truly playing well tonight. Doesn't happen that often but tonight he is playing great

I love me some Tucker D but against a fast wing, he looks like he's stuck in mud

Wow, we are playing really bad and we are only two points down.
Edit: Six down now.

Alex Len has to go up with that after the rebound. No excuse not to go strong

I think Rubio would be the perfect PG off the bench for a team, if he'd accept that role.

In the current NBA he is perfect to defend PFs. He is slow to defend perimeter players like Wiggins or Westbrook.

What a pathetic close out by Booker on Lavine. He has a long way to go on defense

The last one was WAY overplayed, to a ridiculous extent, but I actually thought it was kind of funny. This new one is just horrible.

The thing is every break there's the same damn SW commercial. I remember I had this issue with Casino Arizona a few years back. So annoying.

Not Tucker's fault. Chandler should be on towns not dieng. Watson literally doesn't have a clue. This offensive rebounds don't happen if match ups are right.

I know, he tried but it was a little comical.

Just can't get consistent stops. Story of the game.

Suns are clearly playing the long game. They know that the wolves are leading the tank race so by throwing this game they might get a higher pick in June. Very crafty, MCD.

Bledsoe, knight, Tucker and potentially Chandler need to go. No reason playing these Vets over our young players and them not getting experience. We need a real pg if we are ever going to do anything

I'd give McD credit if he knew Watson is clueless prior to hiring him.

I wouldn't just trade Bledsoe just for the sake of trading him, need a good package.

The other 3 I would trade for scraps
