Had an 11 point lead at one point in time during this ballgame. Now we’re down 5….still wish Book would get that midrange going if the 3 ball isn’t falling. DA missed a couple chippies by not going up strong.

I wonder if that new ball is what's causing Booker and CP3 to struggle to get their midrange games going.

Suns getting outworked by Rockets. The defensive effort is not there.

Really missing Payne’s perimeter defense and on the ball defense.

I think it had more to do with tired legs. Book didn’t even have an off season and Paul needs the rest at his age

Listen, I know CP3 is a pass first point guard but I truly think we’re a better team when he looks to score. He can still get DA, Mikal, Book and Jae involved but he’s probably our most consistent midrange shooter. He needs to up the aggressiveness which will open it up for our entire group

I just don’t see that dive on the floor energy and defense we seen last year

The energy and effort is just not there. I think they have forgotten how hard it is to win.

I agree. He can continue to try and get guys going to start games but he needs to be more aggressive and selfish when that isn't working. He does that in the 4th quarter but doesn't seem to do so before then.

Those are the shots Booker used to make. So smooth

Weird how DA got that foul called on him while worse happened against him on the previous play.

Yes! Booker for three.

He was rewarded for block on the other end.

Ugh Payton is in to start with a miss. The ball touched no one else’s hands.

McGee with a screen way out then hustles for the rebound and fouled on the put back.
