I'm going to need the All-Star break to recharge after this game if there is such a thing with this team.

More like using cold water then Warm . Then try Bol Bol. I'll give them one more chance to make playoffs with Beal playing. If the Big three can't win the next one together, it's finally over for me

I'm not even thinking playoffs with the Suns anymore. The goal for me, is for them to finish the season healthy and developing some young players to keep.

I'm with you. I'd like to see Bol Bol get massive run. He has tons of warts but you can't teach size. And a good shooter. He could be a truly gifted blocker with just a little more anticipation. I can't stand when Bol Bol or any of Suns shoot a sideline 3, then just watch it and make zero attempt at running in a few feet and having a stab at grabbing their own rebound. Never happens.

id like to suggest a drinking game tonight - still trying to figure out the parameters

id like to suggest a drinking game tonight - still trying to figure out the parameters

If you wanna get hammered:
- Drink every time KD has a lazy pass turnover
- Drink every time Booker yells 'ayyyyy' after shooting trying to draw a foul
- Drink every time Tyus just lets his man waltz to the hoop
- Drink every time Plumlee gets the rebound then brings it up the court like an newborn gazelle
- Drink when EJ inevitably says 'Rockets are a young team, they will let you back in the game, but you can't just trade baskets, you gotta get some stops'

every block - three pointer - rebound

I'm with you. I'm sure we both saw that one in the close corner where Bol shot the three and it was heading right back to him and he just stood there while I think it was Ja ran twice the distance to go grab the rebound.

And I thought it was a natural instinct to chase a shot when it's off target.

Apparently not for NBA players with SUNS on their jersey. Except for Booker. He knows when his shot is off and he chases it. Seen that many times, even recently.

Devin Booker (low back contusion), Grayson Allen (left knee soreness), Bradley Beal (left great toe sprain) Cody Martin (sports hernia) and Jalen Bridges (two-way) are all out for tonight's game against the Rockets. Vasa Micic (left ankle sprain) is questionable

ish must be feeling like ish - no playoffs - no lottery pick to sho for it - most expensive wasted season ever in the history of the suns - who've made the playoffs plenty of times and at a fraction of the cost - oh man - we sit around complaining about this ish and that ish but imagine actually being in the ish - being the one that's responsible for this ish - that's paying for this ish

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm hoping the Suns start playing as a team soon, but I'm not getting that vibe. It feels like the team is sliding downwards with no motivation to turn it around.

I enjoyed the effort and energy Bol Bol and Ty Ty Washington brought to the game. That's what I want to see from the whole team, even if the end result is not a win. Please put anybody on the court that will give it his all. This is not a happy team and it shows.

I don't understand why this team seems so detached, but I suspect someone in the organization does and it needs to be fixed.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Will Gillespie play or is he with the G league? Probably hurt like the rest

 

[BirdGangThing]

decided to forgo cerveza - granted the beer i drink is really expensive and the suns roster is really expensive but believe it or not the two don't pair well together - so ill save the chocolate porters for a true celebratory occasion
