[Phrazbit]

Yuck, bad loss.

First game that I've been really dissapointed by Bud's rotations.

 

[GatorAZ]

Kings deserved that one.

 

[BirdGangThing]

what happened to kd? And dunn?

 

[95pro]

Bud needs to change the line up.

Yea too late for that now.

 

[95pro]

Kings deserved that one.

It was there for our taking.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yuck, bad loss.

First game that I've been really dissapointed by Bud's rotations.

He went away from the players that got the lead.

 

[Yuma]

Yea too late for that now.

8-2 isn't bad overall. We need to figure this out before next game.

 

[Yuma]

He went away from the players that got the lead.

It was an unusual line up, but it was working against the Kings.

 

[Yuma]

Beal probably out next game.

suns and beal showing respect to the kings - that's cool

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin's game is not right. I wouldn't be surprised later to hear he is playing hurt.

 

[Yuma]

31.6% as team from three. That did not help. Probably could have won in regular time if we shot better from three. We shot 57, FIFTY SEVEN threes.

 

[Yuma]

Bol, Morris, and Lee didn't play when we were short handed. Bol could have given us some bench points, and altered some shots.

 

[Hoop Head]

Yuck, bad loss.

First game that I've been really dissapointed by Bud's rotations.

Rotations weren't good but we don't have a PF. KD isn't a real PF but he passes as one. Dunn is kind of a tweener forward. Behind them we have Bol²? Tjar.doesn't cut it. This a roster construction issue more than coaching, IMO. With Nurk going down we were screwed. Oso isn't ready for primetime with nowhere else to turn.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bud says he needs to find a way to give Devin Booker a break. It's obvious he needs one.

There is no update yet on Bradley Beal.

Jusuf Nurkic left the game with ankle soreness.

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker hopes to get feeling better soon.

[BirdGangThing]

we need rebounds from oso

 

[Mainstreet]

I liked the Oso at center and Okogie at power forward combination.

 

[Mainstreet]

X-rays were negative on Bradley Beal's left knee.

like i've been saying for years. Booker is not very bright, especially in the clutch. He missed 2 game winners tonight, and, as is his MO, he likes to take difficult 3 pt shots when we only need 1 or 2 pts to win. Last season when he made a game winner, the highlight reel had to go back to the bubble to show his prior game winner.

we've been winning close games for 3 reasons.

1. Durant can get off his shot on anyone.
2. Book has been deferring leadership to Durant, probably as per Bud's direction
3. We have a point guard on the floor to minimize Booker and Durant's fumbles.

Steve Kerr understood how best to use Booker -- in a support role. His assist numbers are good. But he's a border-line all-star being paid the supermax and he should never be making the decisions in the clutch. Bud needs to call plays. Even KD needs to adjust to plays rather than go one on one, but at least he takes good shots.

Booker should be traded to NY before the rest of the league figures out he's overpaid. And that he's a scorer, not a guy who wills a team to wins in the heat of battle like a dozen other stars. In fact, he too often gets sloppy when the going gets rough. The last time he really stood out, was the start of last season. Since then, he's seemed a little disconnected with the Suns.

Look I did my part. I was at the Waffle House. Who here did not stick to their routine? Next time you repeat the same thing you did. Eat the same meal. Wear the same clothes without washing it. Underwear and all.

Do your part!!
