Does Oubre read any scouting report? Yeah attacking Gobert off the dribble driving away from the basket (so not even gathering and getting into him) is just about the dumbest way to attack a shotblocker, let alone a historic one.

Man the Wizards shot over 52% from the field and 46% from 3 hitting 17 3s tonight. Unfortunately they were playing the Bucks who shot 60% from the field and over 63% from 3, hitting 19 3s.

We've hit 3 3s...20%

You don't need to know how to read with looks like that.

It's debatable?

Man I hope Okobo takes the Dragic development course because he looks scared out there a lot.

Actually the few minutes Bender played tonight was pretty good. Okay defense and rebounding. Way better than Oubre.

He started tonight. But in general, yeah, it didn't make sense to me. His defense and aggressiveness taking it to the basket was nice to see.

Someone mentioned Booker doesn't like his decision making. I wonder if it has something to do with Booker...thought about it again seeing him start when Booker was out.

I don't think I can see the Suns winning another game this season. What's the record for consecutive losses? How the **** did this team win 4 in a row earlier in the year?

With the game out of hand of course we start to feed Ayton.

This is definitely Jackson's best game, even with 4 turnovers.

I think after the break we have a good chance to win some. I think we have a road trip of ATL, CLE, MIA and then come home to play the Kings or something like that.

If we are healthy.

I mean we hung in there for awhile tonight without Booker, TJ and Melton. I mean when you are missing Booker AND TJ you are going to be extremely hard pressed to win. We've only won 1 without TJ...are like 1-11 and 3 without Booker 3-10 I think.

I still can't see them winning against any of those teams. The Suns players DGAF anymore. They hardly even watch the game from the bench. They have zero desire to win. Every game is a loss before it even starts.

Well Josh played a really good game, really the only person to play well tonight. At least he tries his ass off and gives a ****.

We're never going to win games starting G-Leaguers at point guard. It's the most important position in the game and we start in a deep, deep hole every game. This team has many problems, but point guard is certainly the biggest.
