I was gonna say why can't Carter hit a 3? Then of course he pulls up with his toe on the line and makes it.

When they come in, I don't expect the starters to return so it's probably for that reason. Starters are finished after they get pulled.

Book will want to come in to try and outscore Beal.

Wagner just literally trampled through Saric there.

We've played like garbage, but the refs have been equally terrible. We'd still be losing this game if they called it correctly, but by less. NBA really needs to figure out their officiating, it's been insanely terrible for decades.

I don't want Book, Paul, Ayton, or Crowder back in this game. Let the deep bench finish this. Bridges can be the 'vet'

When the Suns 3 isn't falling even at average rates, their offense is UGLY.

Beal at MVP level.

Seriously, who do you want him to pass the ball to tonight? He’s made passes but teammates aren’t making shots. He’s really the only thing we have today on offense.

We aren't even guarding him.

I have my thoughts on Booker but I'll save it for another day/thread.

I have SUCH mixed feelings about Carter. His defense and hustle are always a plus, but his offensive game is garbage if his shot isn't falling, and lately it hasnt been. I feel like our second unit would be better with Moore in it.

Certainly not defending this team because their play is inexcusable and embarrassing for a group being paid millions, BUT I will say, they look very sluggish. What usually happens when on the road for a while.
They don't have a championship mentality yet.

I still don’t understand why we let Book guard him beginning of the game. Not only Booker got into early foul trouble, Beal got into a rhythm early. We did the same against Paul George.

I really hope Carter can find his 3 point shot again. He's been miserable on offense this season.

This is immature and, dare I say, unprofessional. After the Detroit effort, I have to consider whether or not this version of the team is worth my time/emotional investment.

Remember when we used to be a trash team and a team with a strong record would come over and we’d play bonkers against that team... I’d like to think this is just one of those trap games

I feel like his role is different this year. Everyone has been off. Booker, Ayton.
I can't understand why Paul is having such a a difficult time with this team, OR that the team is struggling so much to adjust with him.
I don't think it's crowder

King4Day · Post #299 » by **King4Day** » Tue Jan 12, 2021 1:55 am

I really don't like that Paul is in this game. He's injury prone. Why are he and Booker playing basketball right now?

grumpysaddle · Post #300 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue Jan 12, 2021 1:56 am

I can't believe there's still 9 minutes left of this.

As a team what should Phoenix improve the most?
