Fuck this game.

Another Frank Vogel masterpiece. Trade deadline csnt some soon enough. This team has peaked. This group just doesn't care enough on defense.

Wide open dunk to just make a risky pass to book where he’s surrounded by defenders. Masterful gambit sir

It’s too many stupid pussies. It’s a bad combo.

I can’t fucking stand EG. I now see why he’s just a minimum guy. He’s fucking dumb. If he’s not en fuego from 3, he’s awful.

KD has a lot of lazy turnovers.

Okogies offense is crap and I don’t care what he brings defensively.

KBD is good for 1 corner three and negative 20 testosterone on the court. Dude makes Boris Diaw look like Draymond Green.

Eubanks is a stiff moron.

Beals face got smashed and he turned into Brandon Knight.

Vogel has the best 3 point shooter in the league and he can’t find him any fucking shots?

We have no playable 4 or 5 not named Nurkic. We have zero tough guys on this team other than Nurkic. We are 3 weak mental stars, an above average center, a solid 3 point shooter, and a conglomerate of fat free yogurt.

We need an above the rim above an IQ of 12 asshole. Probably two of them. Badly.

It felt like the Hawks were making every shot. I was surprised to find that they didn't really shoot the 3 better than we did as a whole; they were 17-44 (38.6%) and we were 14-37 (37.8%). Trae Young went off on us for 32 points and 15 assists. Beal shot only 5-16 including 0-7 on 3s; I admire his toughness to keep playing despite aggravating his nose injury, but it's clearly affected his play and his shot accuracy. I thought Nurk was having a good game, but then they didn't play him very many minutes for some reason?

This game just felt like an all-offense game where we didn't seem to know how to slow them down or get any stops. Pretty disappointed in our defense as a team.

Bol before he was hurt, earned a run in the back up center role over Eubanks. I get Ewwbanks been a bit better recently but Bol is healthy now, and deserves his shot.

Although I get a feeling he won’t play until after the trade deadline…

Too many Moses-parting-the sea-defense in the paint for easy layups.

One expects Young to get his points, but who the hell was guarding Bogdo?
He was unchallenged for most of his threes. Geezus Jones.

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.

Why did they take away that basket?
I’ve never seen that before where they take away a basket plays later.
