The way we’ve been playing, I’ll take a 3-point deficit at the half.

If Book wasn’t slumping so badly we’d be up 10 right now.

Booker 2/10 he’s really struggling but I noticed he’s content to just Chuck up long shots he’s not really cutting and getting those 5 foot jump shots

Suns can't win without a bench. Seven points... that's it from Landale.

The Pelicans will be the fresher team.

Suns need to go 3-4 players deep off the bench and it's not happening.

A replacement for Jae Crowder and the return of Cam Johnson will help but the Suns need a play maker shooter. The Pelicans have Alvarado.

Watching those old Suns videos, we are missing the slasher scorer, like Cedric Ceballos, Amare, Thunder Dan, etc.

I just wish they would put Wainwright on Zion.

Craig has to take that open shot.

Suns working so hard just to keep the deficit under 10 points. Feels like this game is slowly slipping away. Suns just don’t have any consistency on offense.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they lose well into the double-digits.

This is a disaster. We have no rhythm on offense whatsoever. Book is forcing too much. Not getting the ball inside to DA. They’re daring Craig and Bridges to beat us and they can’t. Defensively, we’re playing with zero discipline and they’re getting whatever they want. Zion is getting downhill. This could get ugly if this team doesn’t wake up.

Now the question is do the Suns get blown out again.

I think we are seeing the aftermath of Booker being on fire for a few straight games. He isn't in that same type of rhythm, but is still taking a lot of tough shots. Needs to work for better looks.

Wow. Another destruction. This is beyond embarrassing. 3 straight games of complete annihilation and dominance.
James Jones has his work cut out for himself.
