First time Suns have had 5 guys with 20+ points since 1990… I’m outta words to describe this team…

This game was the definition of how nebulous Durant's value is.

On paper... looks like he had a pretty good game.

But almost everytime he touched the ball, the offense ground to a halt, he was awful in the clutch and just went it seemed like we might pull away in the 3rd with a 10 point lead he went "Durant mode" and gift wrapped the opposition 3 baskets from just brutally stupid turnovers and tacked on his own brand of "dribble for 20 seconds and brick a contested fadeaway or chuck the ball to a teammate who has to panic shoot as the clock runs out" offense.

For bonus negative impact, he also doesn't really bother to get back on defense after he bricks shots or throws the ball to the wrong team.

Thank you for posting this.

The main shows i listen to, finally did a binge watch to catch up as i was two months behind on PHNX and Kleens, did not mention any of this.

Kleens show, which i hate most times, they completely went at Booker for picking up 6 fouls. I mean half those were very very questionable. But to blame the game on him, cmon.

And PHNX brought up the refs, the missed Allen call, and the missed defensive assignment for the 3pt shot they made.

No one, even bothers to be critical of KD and I hate it. When KD is the offense, that is the problem within itself. He's a great individual player, but not a team player. To me he is the issue with all our woes but he somehow gets a free pass a lot of the times.

im not blaming that game on anyone - we finally lost as a team and i'm koolaid free when i say that - i noticed a couple other things too like we cried after committing fouls more than after getting fouled - nobody smiled the whole time - they were there to play - passes were a tad better - our players were double pumping on the pass getting defenders to jump the passing lane - we dedicated more thought to boxing out - there was a different mindset out there almost like they were freakin tired of losing and tired of hearing about it

could just be one game tho - probably is knowing this team - bud is still on one with dunn - dunn gets so excited to come in now i think he over does it but i also think he's healthy now they way he was moving

it's a good thing we're playing the pelicans next - it's a good thing our schedule is tough because we need this season to end leaving zero doubt on how to move forward

Booker’s absolutely galling, but predictable stupidity in picking up an obvious 6th foul is just as much to blame for losing as KD’s terrible turnovers and bad shots down the stretch.

Those two betas are equally responsible for last night’s loss and the entire season.

And PHNX brought up the refs, the missed Allen call, and the missed defensive assignment for the 3pt shot they made.

No ref made us miss 1 of 2 FTs TWICE in the last 30 seconds with a chance to put the game away in regulation… or blow a 4 point lead with 30 seconds left in OT.

We must be listening to different radio stations. KD not only gets plenty of well-deserved blame for his turnovers and attitude but he also somehow gets blame for Booker’s attitude and step back in play.

Harsh reality is they’re a terrible twosome because neither is a smart basketball player, nor leader. They are both responsible for this team being a rudderless ship the last two seasons.

I absolutely 100% knew Suns would lose the game when Grayson missed one of his free throws. It completely took the pressure off the Grizzlies.

 

[BirdGangThing]

bol bol and greyson missed free throws - beal missed fouling morant on the inbound - kd missed passes - book missed the entire overtime - no doubt - but these are also the guys who kept us in the game we honestly had no business being in lol - everyone of them dropped 20+

i knew we were losing going in - that never waivered - but there was signs of life on planet orange - and in memphis of all places - saw it with my own eyes

The only thing i'll agree on is the radio stations versus podcost/youtube guys (kleen/PHNX). i did not mention radio, they blast everyone.

I'll only write this one post and that's it for this thread.

This was probably our best game in the calendar year of 2025. Yeah, we lost, but we were in prime position to win and I'd suggest that we should have won that game. Grayson makes that one missed free throw and we don't go to overtime.

Still some stupid mistakes by KD, but there were a lot of mistakes, and no team is mistake-free in any game. We're at the point where wins and losses don't really matter, but in terms of quality this was an entertaining and well-played game.

Yeah… I was just happy to be somewhat entertained watching the game with my Dad in the 4th quarter.

Yep, and we also would have won in OT without the Bol missed FT.
