Clippers really complaining about refs taking a potential fast break away there? You’re up 24 with 3 minutes to go

These guys have mentally quit. it was only a matter of time. This is what awfully constructed roster and equally awful coaching has brought us all to. I don't think I can watch another second of these pathetic losers.

I really thought they were going to trade for a pg before the season and then again before the trade deadline, but instead they just gave up on the team and the team has given up on the fans.

Igor needs to go. This is just like the Steve Wilks situation with the Cardinals. Crazy how it happened to both teams in the same year.

Guys, why do we do this to ourselves?

I'm not even from Phoenix. When I tell people I'm a Suns fan the look at me like I farted in an elevator.

It sucks but this is what happens with bad teams in their last game before the all-star break. I’m sure many of them already have their bags packed for the Caribbean.

The Suns have given up an average of 121.7 points a game during their 15-game losing streak.

Garbage time....means nothing

Garbage time starts at tip off for any Suns game.

Some of the worst professional basketball I’ve ever seen. These guys couldn’t execute pass. Guys we’re running into each other. This team has quit.

Tyler Johnson isn’t an NBA player and yet we’ve agreed to pay him 20 million. Embarrassing.

Okobo is a horrendous passer. Still.

I don’t even want Igor finishing the season at this point. He has these guys in so many bad habits right now. End this experiment.

No more point Booker. Not until he becomes a more complete player.

Suns have 8 days off they can take 80 for all I care

... and this was a game in which two of the Clipppers' better defenders, Wilson Chandler and Luc Mbah a Moute, were missing.
Oof.

Every time you think the Suns hit bottom, they start digging deeper into the abyss of despair.

Good news. We don't play for 8 days.

...And pitchers and catchers have reported. Spring training just around the corner!

My dream is if we can get Zion this draft and perhaps trade for Conley for Johnson and TJ and our other 1st rounder. Then next year can be the change we want to see.

My dream is that Sarver sells the franchise and we get somebody who has a cogent, modern vision of professional basketball.

I wish Igor had the balls to bench Booker, I really really do.
It would send a very strong message

What would the point of that be? He’s having a rough game, but he’s still clearly our best player.

He’s having a rough season.

He’s been a net negative for us. He’s a good volume scorer but that’s about it. His defense, turnovers, and inability make others around him better is killing us.

Exactly my point. He's our best player; so when he's playing like garbage he should be removed just like everyone else.
It would send the message that nobody is above being yanked for crap play.
It won't happen though, because Booker runs this circus.

yea this will be a win for us
we are due one of those games where we play decent stuff and the Clippers have struggled without Tobias. Harrell will be a nuisance like every other PF to go against us and Lou will do his thing but Suns win by 6+ and thus ends the streak

This game shows how far this team still has to go. And it's a loooooooooooooooooooonnng way. Any chance we have proper roster construction before next season starts? The only positive in this game was Oubre. He's a keeper.

People don't seem to understand this though. Some casual fans actually think he should be in the All-Star Game.

We can't get mad at Booker for being forced into being a player that he's not. It's management's fault through and through but this is how young players are ruined.

This. Now that I don't live in AZ anymore, I get the same looks. I feel really bad for my kids.

Not only that be he gets doubled hard every time he touches the ball.

Imagine putting Klay Thompson on the Orlando Magic and saying "here, now go play point guard".
