We got it close but we let the lead get away a bit.

Slow replay showed kd getting popped by holiday on his last shot.

David Roddy taking two bad threes in a row didn't help. Our shot makers outside of KD and Beal aren't even shooting the ball... and that's if they even touch it.

3rd quarter dagger by Tatum. He hits that and we have zero chance.

You thought we had a chance before that? Our chance is in street clothes on the bench. Without Booker this Suns team is painfully mediocre. Booker gives us a puncher's chance.

They were wide open good threes. It’s just that he shouldn’t be out there.

These are the games that the Suns struggle, when the defense can be physical. They just don't rise to that intensity / cheating.

Yes that's my point. One miss and he should sit. Two in a row? There is no reason he should he in after that. Although to be fair he did make a layup after that.

We had a small chance at home. You had it within 5 in the third.

But if Tatum is hitting spinning deep 3s we just can't keep up. It's the reality.

His 1 on 1 defense is fine. His switch defense is ass. If only someone could unlock this defensive mystery.
totally agree but i think if we resign him it'll get better - these teams with their 3-4 year nucleases really got it good - less mistakes - makes up for off nights and bad calls - we were close to that a couple few years ago but i think next year will be better even with the injuries

Switch again and Grayson again doesn't even look at his man.

You can't switch with Allen on the floor. You just can't

Yep not seeing Bol until the 4th. Why doesn't Vogel play him more?
because hes a creature of habit - ive really payed attention to this - doesn't matter how the game is going he likes to stick to the game plan - which is slowly getting better but come on - free the bol bol

Oh for sure. You can see it in the way he plays Book and Beal, let alone the role players.

The one guy whose minutes seem inconsistent is Eric Gordon.
