Game 5: San Antonio Spurs (2-2) @ Phoenix Suns (2-2) l Thursday l 7:00pm l NBATV

[Sunlight]

If Nurkic is going to play this bad we could have just got a younger version of him by keeping Dario.

He had a great game in GSW and went 3-5 from 3 and had 15 points in 20 minutes off the bench yesterday.

Suns would have won the championship without Dario's injury. Still, the whole team was blown up. Here is the result, two straight losses to the tank team.

5 games in and you already know everything about this season.

I'm not good enough to see into the future. Hindsight is my strength. I'm not used to seeing Suns perform this badly in consecutive games for a few years so it's sad. I'm still trying to get used to it.

Booker doing his best to get this win.

It feels like the Spurs have like 25 timeouts.

[sunskerr]

Spurs are making so many bs 3s lol. But that happens every now and then in the NBA. Mavs have been doing the same thing for a few years now - taking lots of 3s to increase the variance.

Nice return game for Book.

[enigmatics]

Why is KD still fkn sitting with 8mins left in the game?

Man Vogel is getting on my nerves. Thank God for Book.

He's played 30 minutes. If he comes back in now he will be at 37 or 38. That's quite a lot for anyone.

Euabnks has been so horrible.

I saw that Nurk was in foul trouble in the 1st half. How were the calls?

Super weak calls. He gets one of the toughest whistles in the league but seems. Ticky tack **** most of the time.

[SkyBill40]

Spurs fans on GB calling the Suns for moving screens. The irony of that is the Spurs have been doing it, too. And that walking yardstick getting all kinds of calls is utterly laughable.

[sunskerr]

Eubanks got stone hands kinda like Ayton. Lots of bobbles and losing the handle. McDermott plays pretty cringe. Just takes 3s.

[MrMiyagi]

Booker is insane. Love it.

I hold my breathe every time he gets the ball.

[sunskerr]

Book is the man. Also is this the real KBD? Hope it is.

[garrick]

Maybe the trick is be down double digits to start the game?

For a young team like the Spurs we can come back but the elite teams no way will they squander a 27 point lead like this.

[enigmatics]

Durant with the okie doke block and KBD showing why he deserves PT!

[grumpysaddle]

Booker just needed the first half to get re-acclimated. He's been the best point guard in the league in the last 12 minutes or so.

[bwoolf2]

Also really dislike okogie starting he is afraid to shoot

Yup he's still a liability from that perspective.

Can't play a guard that's afraid to shoot unless he is Dennis Rodman on the glass.

I mean, we did it two nights ago. It happens to good teams and bad teams. That's the NBA.

[Qwigglez]

Really tough to win against anyone when they are shooting 50% from 3.

[SkyBill40]

Seeing Booker go hard to the cup makes me cringe a little knowing he just came back from a foot injury.
