It will be good for Ferguson to guard Booker. Building experience and self-confidence.

That was a terrible foul call on T-Ferg, and as a result Booker gets three FTs.

Fortunately he went just 1/3.

Refs in "Eff the Thunder" mode early tonight.

I don't know what we did to them, but the officials really don't like us this year.

With Dre put Russ needs to do a better job on defense. Hes just letting his man blow by him and that isn’t going to cut it.

Melo clearly got bodied and fouled on one end with a no-call, and the Suns go right down and score a quick two points. A potential four-point swing.

opponents know that if you get adams away from the paint via a drive or other method, it's melo back there, and melo can't do anything. much easier to do without dre in. ferguson, huestis, etc. are terrible at denying penetration.

And after all that, even though it's felt like we've outplayed them by a semi-comfortable margin this quarter, we're on the low side.

Huestis is 3/11 from the FT line on the season?

So he's Andre Roberson bad from the FT line AND, by a wide-margin, he's a worse player than Roberson in pretty much every other facet of the game?


Ouch.

Josh "I'm Not a Very Good Three Point Shooter" Jackson drains a step-back three pointer and we're down by five.
