There's a game today, fellas. Suns are usually a good bounce back team after a loss. I expect a good battle today.

Go Suns!

That was a terrible tip-off toss towards the Cavs side yet Plumlee got it.

Just joining the game. What happened? The Suns are getting hammered inside.

I wish Steve Albert would quit making excuses.

Big hole going into the second half. Green needs to get it together. Show a little energy, man!

Frye, Green, and Barbosa happened. Not sure which one of them was the worst in the first half.

Like I say, I missed most of the first half but it looks like the Suns are playing terrible defense and have paved a freeway to the basket for Cleveland.

He was flatter than a pancake the last game.

If the Suns are going to play this bad I want to see Anthony Bennett get some minutes for Cleveland. I want to see what he looks like in game action.

It's not just the Suns doing. Cavs are playing really well and hitting every open shot. Jack even came off the bench and was hitting most of his shots and hit a couple dagger threes.

Just tuned in for the last part of the 2nd half. It watched the Cavs getting bailed out by the refs after attempting poor shots or a big man trying to dribble past guards up the court. Plumlee was called for a phantom foul after doing an amazing job of avoiding contact under the basket (though that one is more understandable because everyone anticipated the foul). I don't doubt the Suns are playing poorly, but it appears the refs are down right embarrassing.

Case in point, the first 4 highlights during halftime included a blatant moving pick to open up a Cav for a 3 pointer and a Cav stepping out of bounds before passing for a fast-break basket. How do "professionals" miss those easy calls?

Somebody turned on the faucet for the Suns.

We appear to be headed for the kind of ending we excelled in with Bledsoe but have struggled with since his injury. Nice stretch of ball for us to put us in this position, hope we can finish this off.

The Suns played incredible defense in their comeback. I have to give them credit for their turnaround to get the win.
