Man... not having Conley or Mitchell it getting my nerves... Suns are losing too, but man, we need this 1st place so badly. I hope we win 2 of those 3 games, altough I'm not sure if suns will be able to win those 3 games.

I miss Conley and Mitchell so much. No way we would be behind with those two in the game.

Conley needs to reach down and see if anything is still there, you gotta play!

I think our players, especially Ingles, are getting worn down a bit playing without Conley and Mitchell. Ingles is only shooting the three ball at 31.4% over the last five games.

Part of that is that Ingles just holds the ball too much, so he's forced to take a bunch of contested threes as the clock is expiring.......

When Mitchell was playing, Ingles would hold the ball and then pass it to Mitchell with a few seconds left, and Mitchell would get off a shot or get to the rim...... Now that Mitchell isn't there, Ingles is taking those late clock shots, and it's not going well for him......
