I don't know if I'll ever get used to seeing Durant in a Suns uni. It's just weird.

That said, he gets doubled every time and hardly anyone else is doing anything meaningful. Allen just keeps passing up shot opportunities, including close takes at the basket. Dude can shoot, so SHOOT IT.

Kinda scary to think he's turning into a Shamet

Maybe. But I'd take Allen over Shamet every day and twice on Sunday.

It’s still early, Allen will shoot just fine as the season progresses. No way did Allen lose his ability to make shots.

The offense is stagnating. Waaaay too much iso. Really missing Book rn.

This Lakers team is a play in team they have no shooting and little play making outside of LeBron and at 39 no way he can carry them 82 games

This team minus Booker and Beal might not be great, but damn they care. And that matters. Seeing a lot of guys flying around, diving after loose balls and trying hard on defense.

Okogie and Goodwin are the leaders of that. They can play on my team any day.

Grayson has way more juice on defence, and probably attacking the close out too. It will come for him, and playing with three all stars is hard

Hate the Lakers so much, all those whistles, all that privilege yet they still bark at the refs all game long.

Beat LA!

Allen will find much more open room with Book and Beal out there. Right now it’s tough sledding as one of the primary scorers/creators out there.

But he's not out there with three all stars. Two are injured.

Agree. I'll roll with this squad anyday.

Not having Ayton captain lackadaisical helps too.

"heres what blimps can do..........." (guy attempts kevin love type outlet pass but fat dude isnt even accross halfcourt nor was the pass anywhere near the guy that was supposed to recieve the outlet....) slowly watch the ball go out of bounds on the other side of the court when no one is near it, announcers say nothing and just let the TV shot RIP

100%

They play hard nose defense, they don't care that they might be less talented overall and they just get after it

Surprised we are winning with 0 assists between our "PGs" Gordon and Goodwin.

Watanabe with the lucky three.

Return to Phoenix Suns
