Definitely agree. Defense looked bad to me though.

He was matched up against Griffin. Any rookie is going to look like the world's worst defender on Griffin.

Not necessarily. I just thought he wasn't trying. Maybe worried he will pick up silly fouls.

Considering he's a rookie and on the Suns, picking up fouls is par for the course.

I wish the refs would call more fouls on Knight. Just foul him out in the first minute plz. Every game.

Good vet play by Tucker, nice pass to LB. Caught the defense sleeping.

Suns miss so many open and easy shots. It's ridiculous.

I HATE HATE HATE how Tucker refuses to kick the ball out when he has it in the paint...

These Clipper telecasters are ripping Knight a new one.

Barbosa is so much better than Brandon Knight.

I'm starting to just think the refs are trying to help with the Suns' tank. Maybe the refs actually do care about Phoenix Suns.

I hate when players throw the ball to a team mate when the clock is about to expire.

Well, he almost dribbled himself straight into getting blocked... he has zero court awareness.

At least we're getting the ball back though. 14 offensive rebounds vs. 2 is the reason we're only down by 4 despite 36% vs 60% fg in favor of the Clippers.

Austin rivers makes the clippers beatable. He's so bad. Brandon Knight lite for them.
