Mediocre finish from our ‘all stars’

Meh, it happens, they still had like.. 17 or something in the 4th between them. Can't win them all.

OK, so you're trolling.

Gotcha. Nice posts this game thread.

You were significantly better in other game and other threads just like LaMelo was quite a bit better in this game than most.

Melo has been amazing. Peep his last 10 games. He is NINETEEN! How is that trolling?

VERY nice Book. Lets seen another crazy comeback! Down 7 with 34 seconds left.

The "add foe" button has made the forum so much better since I started using it.

This is definitely me, but it’s less the points than it is how we’re playing. If we were playing good D and O but they’re shots were just falling and ours weren’t I’d have more confidence. We just haven’t looked good since we had that 13pt lead...

Sometimes guys just get hot against you. Monk just got on fire and killed us. Miles Bridges was on fire from the field in his minutes too.

His first 5 or so shots were pretty wide open, so it's definitely the fault of our players for not defending well enough.

Why are fans so parochial?

Appreciate greatness. I’m not happy we are losing, but this guy is unreal!

Eh not an awful loss. Especially since it’s to an East team.

Hornets just had guys on fire and nothing we can do about it really. Took them lightly and let them get comfortable to start and then it was too late to do anything about it.

Hopefully this is a good wake up call for the team and they finish the remainder of the games till the AS break strong.

We really need to recruit a C who can play about the rim. Doesn't need to be a scorer, just someone who'll fight and hustle for rebounds like Bismak did tonight. He shut DA out. DA got most of his boards when 48yo Zeller was in the game.

I just woke up from my power nap and saw Booker hit a dagger three while getting fouled. Maybe a comeback in the makings?

Post #332 » by **bwgood77** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 4:27 am

Hmm...hope they don't change this to a foul on Book...he didn't have the space...even though he was probably trying to draw a foul.

But Borrego know the time in the game to use a challenge.

Nice. Call stands.

Monk definitely caught fire, and LaMelo had some shots fall, and they’ve played well on O in general, but I can’t help but feel that the Suns beat themselves on this one. We fell back into our jack-happy ways even though we were ice cold. Let them build up confidence with our lax D... We’ve gotta learn to keep the pedal down for 48mins. We’re going to need to figure out a way to win these games where our shot goes cold if we want to make any noise in the playoffs. Lots of time left in the season but feels like we keep getting taught the same lesson over and over but aren’t really learning from it.

With all that said, might be down by 3 in a sec...can we make some magic happen?

LaMelo...NOT a good foul in the bonus there rook...can't be doing that at the end of games with a lead.
