Think I might have reached the end of the line emotionally with this Suns team. I am watching them more out of habit that anything.

I didn’t have a good feeling going into this one and very pleased to be proven wrong. A satisfying and much-needed win

Nurk having a great game today

He has been awesome

A lead with this team fees like this old Charlie Brown classic:

I don’t like this one at all for us. Davis could have an absolute monster game.

Also, Houston missed a FT late, got the offensive rebound with less than 15 seconds and the airhead on their team tried to score instead of killing the clock. KD blocks it and that low IQ complete idiot waste EG freaking loses the ball out of bounds. Game over at that point IMO. Guy is useless with...

Big picture my biggest issue is the complete lack of urgency that seems to be everywhere with this team - from the way Book and KD play often (a bit too cool for school attitude), the “she’ll be right” vibe from the coaching staff (evidenced by the lack of structure/ discipline they are instilling -...

This team cannot do the basics well for long enough. Sigh

We just did not look very good for large parts of the second half - more like a playin team than a title contender. Book got going for a while in the third but that was about it.

Pretty awful start to the third - more like our traditional fourth quarter meltdowns. At least there’s time to right the ship here if we are good enough

This is a pretty important game for seeding purposes - win and we have a handy little break on the Kings, lose and they are right there with us. Let’s make it a win - relatively comfortable would be nice!

Impressive run after the Jazz closed to within three. We look the much better team (if we can vaguely hold it together in the 4th).

Man the cupboard is bare at the end of the bench at the moment.

Feel like this whole “top 8-9 man thing” is just the org laying the groundwork for people to not be as disappointed when they do nothing.

I think we will put on an absolute show and be up by 30+ during the third before ultimately losing on an unlikely Jordan Poole jumper.


(Trying for the reverse jinx)

Suns only down by three, but that's two 33 point quarters they've given up. Got to play better defense than that. Couldn’t get a stop all night. We’re not going far playing like that. I think this is the crux of our problem to solve. We are good to very good if our offense is clicking and everyone ...

Yep “while a treatment plan is finalised” sounds like weeks out for Embiid.

Booker hits his last three and makes the Mikail Bridges patented 3 pt make salute shaking his head and pointing. Do I detect a little animosity?

I saw that more as good natured banter, or like a big brother showing up his little brother.

They steadied a bit in the final minutes but jeez they didn’t do much to allay concerns about their fourth quarters.
Still happy to take a win in Miami, even with how much the heat have been struggling lately. And the spread of contributors in the first half was excellent.

It’s purely mental. Nothing else makes sense

Fortunately wilting under pressure when it gets ramped up and the stakes are higher shouldn’t be an issue in the playoffs if we get there.
