Fine them. Fine them all. The Suns have had way more than their share of those nights.

Yep, the refs are manipulating the games to benefit the...Suns?!? That's an interesting concept.

I understand Gobert's frustration but the Suns earned the win tonight over a very good Wolves team. They played really well and lost.

How many nights has Booker not been rewarded (12-15) at the free throw line for his aggressive play. It's about time Booker gets some calls.

First time for everything.

I guess the Suns are ahead of the T-wolves in the pecking order. Still low, but ahead of Minnesota

It's a silly assertion, and not backed up by anything game related. The Wolves were definitely the 2nd best team last night, and it had nothing to do with the refs.

Naz Reid is a player. He will get paid in free agency. For most teams he would be a starter.

Suns are like 28th in free throws per game

Further proof that everyone thinks they’re getting screwed.

True, but there is definitely evidence that some teams get more calls than others!

Gobert literally had 5 times as many rebounds as Ayton did (15 to 3)

Every team feels they are getting screwed by the refs

 

[Mainstreet]

Sure but the Suns have the stats to prove it.

True.. Luka lives on the free throw line and even he feels he is getting screwed on every shot he takes.

Surprised he doesn’t complain for a foul while on the free throw line lol.

Some enjoyable analysis of some of the sets the Suns are running, and the gravity provided by Durant:

[DJ Tabooh]

Many of his shots were just off balance shots but for the most part just missing. He was moving pretty well. Just couldn't find a rhythm. Looked to me like he was pressing.

He was pressing for sure but McDaniels is one of the best defenders in the league and made him work. Frankly, Edwards is a solid defender too when he’s locked in. KD and Book didn’t play their best games but as posted earlier, CP3 was big last night.

Oh, I really like Monty's comments to Durant.

Good, I hope the refs take the Suns all the way to the championship. I'll be just as excited as I was when Stone Cold won the wwf championship.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Was KD not moving well or just missing shots?

Just missing shots. Each time he shot I expected it to go in and CLANG!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Naz Reid is a player. He will get paid in free agency. For most teams he would be a starter.

Yup. He’s impressed me every time I’ve seen him.

Okay that’s just absurd.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Okay that’s just absurd.

Apparently they are more than twice as aggressive as any other team on offense while also somehow not fouling on defense. Seems plausible…

 

[clyde2tw]

All the charging calls were correct except for one maybe two on DA. Gobert should look into the replays before complaining. And his elbow to Book's neck call would have been a blocking call if he had kept elbow in. Book sacrificed his body eh neck several times in this game to get calls.
