They are just hitting everything, getting all the calls, hustling more... It's been hard to watch. Booker not getting respect from officials unless he's assaulted.

Booker is due for a breakout game for the season. Suns will need it from him.

The problem is that he is OK with being good enough to earn "that second contract". No effort, heart, will, whatever you wanna call it. And that is not fixable. He will always be like this.

So I'm doing housework and the last I checked the score was 16-10. I come back and it's 57-27. What the actual hell happened?!

Dario is the only player in white who looks like he gives a ****.

Man if Galloway could have hit that, it would have been nice. At least some slight momentum before the half. We have seen a hot start from 3 turn into a bad start, so maybe we can do the opposite in this game.

We were really missing Bridges when he went out too. Team was a -6 with him in but Booker, Ayton and Cam are all in the -20s

Stop doing housework! No one played well outside of Dario a little bit and Booker in a couple spurts.

Remember that 24-point quarter Ayton had against Denver? Man, I could go for one of those again.

This team is bipolar AF

Suns were down 14 when they put Damian Jones in. Even the act of putting Damian Jones in for a couple minutes will lead to the other team doubling their lead.

Jevon Carter a -19 in 7 minutes. Damn. Paul only a -11

Well, most of Lopez's points have come after Ayton has to switch on the perimeter.

It's not only about scoring, he is winning rebounds against Ayton because he is better positioned. And Ayton can't do nothing in front of him on offense...like if Robin is some type of Ben Wallace. Ridiculous.

Anything can happen. Curry was 2-16 and 1-10 from 3 last night, and they won.

The 3-8 teams in the west have 4 losses. Even OKC.

This team thinks they're too good for the Pistons and the Wizards when in reality they haven't earned anything.

No chance they win tonight. Wizards are too big for them, they have too much shooting, and Bradley Beal is the best player on the floor

My Ayton nickname for nights like this is WAP although those are usually more exciting

In long run hard to get in to playoffs loosing teams whose winning % is 25-30.

Yeah, he beat Ayton on a couple, but many times on D Ayton had switched onto the perimeter which kills our defensive rebounding.. ..and always tougher to get offensive boards. He does need to box out better, though the whole team does.

Booker and Bridges usually have some boards too, but none for either. Crowder and Paul have pulled down some though.

As a team what should Phoenix improve the most?
