IMO, Jimmer isnt trying to be the scoring machine that he has been known to be, seems like he is trying to pass on taking the shots and instead facilitate others on the team. Trying to be more of a team player rather than doing what everyone knows he's already great at, which is scoring.

Showing the Suns that he has evolved and there is more to him than just getting buckets. As i said before, Jimmer is here now, but its all for next year and trying to show the Suns that he can play with the team and belongs in the League.

Paid good dollars for Jimmer Time!

He's not trying to play iso ball. He's just a **** playmaker so all he can do when the time is running down is to try and do something himself

I feel like 90% of the Suns injuries are just made up to lose more. No one gave Sarver the memo that the draft odds have changed this year and the draft also sucks for depth this year. Suns got momentum going and then all these mystery injuries that popped up after games. It's like they are actively trying to lose fans. The TJ injury was out of nowhere and now he barely is mentioned. The Oubre injury was something that didn't come up in game at all, and was just out of nowhere. Tyler Johnson injury? Out of nowhere. The only injury we actually saw was JJ twisting his ankle. I want to keep watching, but it's like they are just constantly saying, "Come back next year" x infinity.

I think Sarver is definitely tanking and trying to ensure best odds for Zion. No point in winning more games.

Via the Argentinean League pass

Holmes fouled Gobert without even knowing Gobert was there? What the hell was that call? Impressive putback by Gobert, but come on refs...

Book is going for 50. Nobody else can get **** done.

Im confused, how was that a foul on Holmes when Gobert jumped over him and grabbed the ball for the dunk over the back?

Holmes legit jumped straight up with arms extended to grab the rebound and Gobert came from behind him to grab and dunk it.

They already have the best odds for Zion. They are guaranteed to finish bottom 3. You also need momentum going into the following season. This just sucks the life out of a franchise.

Rubio trips over his own shadow and Booker is really the one that takes the fall.

Lol. WTF? He just asked "what?" and immediate double tech. This is bizarre.

Only the Suns get that kind of treatment from refs.

Well it's him, but that needs to change for any hopeful success. At least he's efficient tonight I guess but I wish he'd get some others good shots too.

A Utah loss could drop them to 8th seed. A win could take them as high as 5th.

It's like officials don't realize the Suns don't need help to be awful.

But why does the league care about Utah? Only people in Utah care about Utah.

Edit: Plus they'd win without the bizarre officiating
anyway. The Suns are awful without half their players.

I doubt it. They clearly wanted to finish the season strong. I don't think Oubre is having surgery just for the hell of it. They were riding high after those wins. They didn't just suddenly create injuries to make us lose when we didn't need to anyway.

No matter how bad you are you have less than a 1 in 7 chance at Zion.
